I feel incredibly grateful, honoured and proud to be re-elected to serve our area - thank you everyone who voted for me!🙏🏻 The result locally was a remarkable win overall for hopeful politics, internationalism, social justice and more powers/independence for our Parliament, to make a bigger difference.🏴 However, to be clear, I will be there to assist everyone in our constituency no matter who you voted for.❤️ I’ll be back to working hard and serving diligently once I’m sworn in next week.💻 It’s been a privilege to serve for the last 10 years and I look forward to fulfilling that responsibility again during the next 5 – helping more people and making further positive changes, locally and nationally.🙌🏻 We preserve.⚓️
