No matter our beliefs, Jesus’ message of opening our hearts to those who are different from us has never felt more important than this Christmas.
I want to wish everyone celebrating in London and around the world a very Merry Christmas.

This week, I was a judge at a debate competition between Newham schools: Lister, Rokeby, Eastlea and Sarah Bonnell.
It was also lovely for Plaistow and Selwyn primary schools to join.
Students from all of the participating schools were outstanding.

My last Parliamentary task was a visit by St Helens Primary School.
One of the joys this year has been visiting schools. The children’s enthusiasm & interest along with their thoughtful questions is inspiring.
If anyone says kids don’t care, send them to East London and we’ll prove them wrong!

Had a great time at their Regent Street store today, which is open until Christmas Eve. Highly recommend it for last minute gifts.
