We are all beyond lucky to be on these Benches, no matter how we got here and whether our majorities are 15 or 15,000. I hope that we all remember why we are here: to serve. We are here to serve our constituents, serve our communities and serve our country, to remain true to our principles and conscience, and to avoid being dazzled by the theatre of this place or tempted by its theatrics. I believe that politics is ultimately about the practical work of changing people’s lives for the better, helping others, and serving our community and the common good. Especially at a time when we have seen record numbers of antisemitic incidents and a surge in Islamophobic attacks, it is about coming together and acting with purpose to confront hatred and make sure that all people in our community can feel safe.
