As we enter June, I wish everyone in Hertford and Stortford a happy and powerful Pride Month as we come together to celebrate the diversity of our community. As we reflect on the struggles faced by the LGBT+ community throughout history, Pride Month must also be an opportunity to recommit ourselves to challenging discrimination wherever we find it today.

It was a privilege to join residents across our constituency as we marked 80 years since Victory in Europe (VE) Day. On this historic anniversary, I was deeply proud to see our community come together to honour the courage and sacrifice of the great generation who fought for peace in Europe, and to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy thanks to them.

Hertford and Stortford MP Josh Dean writes for the IndieI was shocked and saddened by the news of His Holiness Pope Francis’ death at the start of this week. It is testament to his selflessness that he was able to share an Easter blessing with the church in his final days and his compassionate leadership in challenging times will be sorely missed.

Putin’s illegal and brutal invasion of Ukraine continues to be a major focus internationally and in Parliament. As we marked the third anniversary of the invasion, I was pleased to contribute to a debate in the House of Commons to highlight the deep-rooted support for Ukraine in our community in Hertford and Stortford and pay tribute to the bravery and courage of the Ukrainian people. Their struggle is undoubtedly the defining moral issue of our time.
