Following the tragic passing of my dear
colleague Jack Dromey MP – a giant of
Labour politics – I was asked to step into
Jack’s shoes as Shadow Minister for
Immigration. Big boots to fill, but I look
forward to working with Yvette Cooper
MP and the Shadow Home Office team. I
thoroughly enjoyed my short time
serving in John Healey MP’s Defence
team and will continue to be a champion
of our Armed Forces.
