Looking back over the last twelve months it has been a very busy time for me in Parliament and in Enfield Southgate. Brexit continues to dominate the parliamentary agenda and in the coming weeks things should become much clearer as we will soon have to vote on Theresa May’s deal. Personally I cannot support a deal that makes us worse off.

In Parliament over the last twelve months apart from EU matters I have spoken out about cuts to school funding, lack of policing, the abysmal local rail service, public sector pay, privatisation and access to medicines on the NHS for rare diseases. In Enfield Southgate I have attended public meetings with local residents about crime, the train service and traffic.
Locally, I have had regular meetings with the Borough Commander for Enfield & Haringey, the Chief Executive of North Middlesex Hospital and the Leader of Enfield Council. I have also attended many dinner and dances, visited local churches, mosques and synagogues and various local organisations such as the Thalassemia Society, a pensioners luncheon club and the Citizens Advice Bureau. I have held regular surgeries where I have had case work ranging from planning permission applications to missing relatives.

I have been working closely with a firm of solicitors who have brought a claim against the UK Government over torture that took place in Cyprus against young men and women by some rogue soldiers in the British army. I have also been working with the Turkish Cypriot community over the desecration and shocking goings on at Tottenham park Cemetery where the private company running the cemetery have been running very badly causing great distress to many people whose loved ones are buried there.

Finally I have visited Cyprus and met with senior politicians and non governmental organisations and offered my support for a long term solution for a lasting peace for Cyprus.

In the new year I hope that we finally have a free, independent, united Cyprus and I will do what I can to support those who want to make this a reality.
I will continue to serve the community and all my constituents to the best of my abilities and work hard for you all.

I want to wish everyone a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year and I hope that 2019 brings you all that you wish for.
Happy new year!
