The Day After the Night Before...Thank you!

Thank you to the 25,475 people who voted for me in yesterday's Election. I am so proud yet humbled to be the new Member of Parliament for Suffolk Coastal. I am looking forward to serving all constituents in Suffolk Coastal.

Last night was exhilarating and today I am enjoying meeting people as their new MP. Next week, I am off to London to start representing my colleagues. Meetings are already being booked. I have decided to defer writing to the new Secretary of State for DEFRA till Monday, as it is not definitive who that person will be this time next week.

Thanks to my agent, my campaign team and my family for their support (and to Rizzo!)

A little less about your dog and a little more for the people of Suffolk coastal please.

Therese before you vote in favour of repealing the Hunt Act, ask the Dogs Trust if they've ever rehomed a fox hound. They're usually shot as soon as they hit 6. Check out some of the photos on the internet of their bodies piled high in bins. Speak up for the tenant farmers who are threatened with eviction if they ask the hunt to stay off of their land and the three quarters of the public who believe the ban should be upheld.

Well said Anna! We are fed up with hearing about this TORYS very fortunate dog, knowing how little regard she has for all the poor animals exploited in blood sports.
