I am disappointed to see the Kent stations left out of today’s announcement. I believe the decision by Eurostar is short-sighted. However, I will continue to fight and campaign to see international travel return to Ashford.

Today, on #HolocaustMemorialDay, we remember the unspeakable horrors uncovered at Auschwitz 80 years ago and the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis.
As antisemitism rises across the world, we must all recommit ourselves to combatting it, wherever we see it. Never again.

This weekend, I was out in the constituency talking to residents about the state of our roads.
Years of decline under the Tories has left many of our roads damaged and unsafe.
However, Labour has a plan to fill potholes and repair our damaged roads.

For United fans, Denis Law was nothing less than the King. A wonderful player and a wonderful man, and a scorer of goal after goal after goal in the 1960s.
A Ballon d'Or winner, iconic goal scorer, and treasured part of our club's history, Denis embodied everything we hold dear.
