The UK Labour government recently published its #FinancialInclusionStrategy to help those currently excluded from mainstream financial services. In WHD, I raised its importance for #Watford residents.

People in #Watford care about the environment and so as your MP, I was delighted to be part of this committee which has voted to ban plastics in baby wet wipes. Better for the environment, better for our sewage system and better for you.

We regret the unjustified US 25% tariff on steel and aluminium imports.
The EU will protect its consumers and businesses.
We are launching swift, proportionate countermeasures worth up to €26 billion, matching the economic impact of the US tariffs.

I phoned my home insurance company to question the 36% increase in the policy and was told it was partly due to a lack of builders which increases rebuilding costs. Another Brexit benefit.

I'm fed up with Trump already. Not sure how I'm going to cope with the next 4 years. Do we need so many people guessing what he will do ? sadly we just have to wait and see.
