Thanks for visiting my site. Here you'll find information about all my current activities in Birmingham and in Westminster.
I work hard to stand up for the people of Birmingham, and ensure that everyone feels confident to come and see me if they need advice.
I was first elected to parliament in 2005, and I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me. It's an honour and a privilege to serve you in this way. I'm easy to get in touch with, and always ready to help out. I look forward to hearing from you, and finding out what I can do for you.
I am currently working on producing an e-newsletter which you will be able to sign up for soon. When this is ready I shall post a link here so you can register.
