Writings about working hard for my constituency of Harlow and the surrounding villages of Hastingwood, Matching, Nazeing, Roydon & Sheering. I love watches, mobile technology, Chelsea F.C. and the Countryside - in that order. I am in favour of the Big Society too. Not so keen on big government, bureaucrats, dictators, extreme Islamists, high taxes and the politics of envy or hatred. I write and tweet about all such things.

Breaking News: Harlow College is the best in the UK
Some breaking news. The Government has announced that Harlow College has been ranked No. 1 for long courses, out of the 223 FE colleges across the UK. This is fantastic news.
Plus, in terms of getting the top grades, Harlow College was ranked No. 2 for all its students - making it one of the very best places in Britain not only to study, but to do well.
These results are a real credit to Colin Hindmarch, the staff and teachers, and all the students and their parents. They are really putting Harlow on the map.
We are lucky to have such a successful College on our doorstep. Perhaps it helps to explain why in Harlow, youth unemployment has been falling since 2009, and the number of apprenticeships locally has increased by 73%.
Ignore the critics who want to talk Harlow down. These results prove that we can genuinely compete with the best and brightest not just from Essex, but from the whole country.
