This is a worrying and challenging time for us all. The advice on coronavirus is changing day by day because of the fast-moving environment and I understand it is difficult to know what advice to follow when there is so much information out there.  

I am grateful to the nearly 40,000 people who put their trust in me last Thursday. Being your MP is a privilege. I’m not just proud to have won your vote, but to have increased the majority to 27,500. As a relatively new MP, this was a huge vote of confidence.

I am delighted to have been re-selected as the Conservative Party Candidate for Saffron Walden in the upcoming General Election. It has been an honour to represent our constituency for the past 2 years. 

40 years ago, Airey Neave was killed by a bomb planted under his car by the Irish National Liberation Army. Neave is one of my political heroes.
