Recently, I met up with Education Secretary Gillian Keegan to discuss education and schools in Chelsea & Fulham.

This would have a significant impact on ALL children's education.
The issue of women’s safety in South Fulham has continued to be a priority for me this week.

After returning from a packed Trade visit to Jersey and Guernsey, I have been out and about across Chelsea and Fulham, meeting residents on the doorstep together with fantastic teams of local Conservatives. My local work and campaigns received a very good response from constituents across the local area and I was able to share a useful update on recent crime with residents, too.
