I have always said, despite campaigning and voting to remain in the European Union, that the referendum result should be respected. Our democracy is precious, and to ignore the referendum because we don’t like it would do serious damage to that democracy.

Monday brought about the first Queen’s Speech in over two years, ending the longest parliament session in nearly 400 years. The State Opening of Parliament allows for the Government to set out the programme of legislation that it intends to pursue in the forthcoming parliamentary session. 

Public concern over climate change has grown to unprecedented levels in recent months, and it is certainly an important issue that requires urgent action.

Mike Freer MP and the local community gathered to plant crocus bulbs on the green by La Deliverance, between Charter Way and Regents Park Road in Finchley on 6th October 2019.

I am pleased that Barnet Council has rolled out its lamppost electric vehicle charging points, meaning that the charging of electric vehicles is accessible to everyone.

It is often said that while parliament is not sitting MPs are ‘off’. This is certainly not the case for myself and many of my colleagues, as there is still much to be done around the constituency.

This is a fantastic free event from the London Fire Brigade, aimed at giving older drivers practical and informative help to stay on the road safely.

From the start I have objected to the ludicrous proposal to move this busy and popular GP practice into Finchley Memorial Hospital. I have campaigned against it, and met with the Barnet CCG and spoken to Ministers in the Department of Health regarding these proposals. 

It has been announced that the Government is boosting funding for schools with a record £14 billion, increasing funding across the country so that every child can receive a world class education. 

I campaigned and voted to remain in the European Union, but I have respected the referendum result and voted for the deal every time it has been brought to Parliament.
