In my work as an MP, I’m passionate about teaching our kids about the power they have as citizens. I’m a firm believer that our democracy is enriched when everyone has the opportunity to participate. So it was great to join my friend and constituency neighbour Florence Eshalomi for a fantastic Votes at 16 parliamentary event. We met some inspiring young people from Lambeth to discuss lowering the voting age and other ways to ensure young people have a meaningful say on decisions that impact their lives.
