Chuka Umunna MP

It has now been 18 months since I was elected as the MP for the Streatham constituency and I am immensely proud and honoured to continue to represent our area.

In every corner of the constituency, from Streatham to Clapham, Balham, Brixton and Tulse Hill, I have always believed that our communities are some of the strongest to be found anywhere, and that our future together is one of the brightest.

I know this year may well have been a difficult year for many of you. The economic situation the country faces is a difficult one, and as your MP it is my duty to see that the Government does all it can to resolve this situation.

I know too that many of you have faced particular challenges and rest assured my team and I will continue to do all we can to help as many of my constituents as possible through my work in the constituency.

I look forward to continuing working for the constituency in the New Year. I hope that today at least we can put the difficulties to one side and enjoy those things that are truly important in life; our families, friends, neighbours and communities.

I wish you the happiest of Christmases with your loved ones. I know this will be a special time for many of you, both Christians and non-Christians alike. So I’d like to thank you, at this special time of year, for everything that you do to make our area such a special place to live.

I wish you and all of those closest to you, a very happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

Chuka
