I’ve had the great honour of being the MP for #EppingForest for 27 years. I love this job, but it’s time for me to move aside and give others the opportunities that I’ve been fortunate to have. I told the PM several days ago & wrote formally to my @EFConservatives Chairman today.

@HouseofCommons @Nus_Ghani It’s @Nus_Ghani ’s first time conducting the ballot, aided by the Clerk Assistant. The previous Deputy Speaker @EleanorLaingUK always conducted the ballot with style and panache – points are awarded by regular PMB ballot viewers for technical merit and artistic impression! 8/

⚽️It was great to be at Myrak Park #BuckhurstHill to support @buckhursthillfc in their @EssexSenior League game v Saffron Walden. Disappointing result for The Stags 🦌 but a great atmosphere nonetheless!⚽️

🌳Epping Forest is one of the greenest and most beautiful constituencies in our corner of England and we must make sure it stays that way. 🌲As such I will stand up for our green belt and precious green spaces. ❌Labour must not turn the green belt into the grey belt.

Great to see @ZelenskyyUa in the UK. I said to him & @DmytroKuleba that the UK’s support would endure. Today symbolises that continuation of our friendship, our shared commitment to freedom & our 100 Year Partnership. Putin’s illegal war cannot be allowed to succeed. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇦
