Broxbourne’s Conservative MP, Lewis Cocking, has voted against the Labour Government’s Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill—turning his back on vital investments that would make a real difference in our local schools. This bill was designed to give every child the best start in life, ensuring they have the support and resources they need to thrive. So why did our MP choose to oppose it?

When passed, the bill will have delivered key improvements for children and families across the country, including:

🥣 Breakfast clubs for all primary school children – Ensuring that no child starts their school day hungry, helping them to focus, learn, and succeed.

👔 Cheaper school uniforms – Cutting costs for parents by preventing schools from requiring expensive branded items and making uniforms more affordable for everyone.

👦 New teams to keep children safe – Providing extra support to protect children from harm, ensuring they have safe and nurturing environments both in and out of school.

👩‍🏫 A qualified teacher in every classroom – Guaranteeing that every child is taught by a trained professional, raising standards and ensuring a high-quality education for all.

By voting against this bill, Lewis Cocking has shown where his priorities lie—and it’s not with the children and families of Broxbourne. While the Labour Government is working to give every child the opportunities they deserve, the local Conservative MP has chosen to block these essential reforms.

Our children’s future should not be a political battleground. Investing in schools isn’t just about policies—it’s about giving young people the tools they need to succeed in life.

The question for Broxbourne residents is simple: Does your MP really stand for you and your family’s future?

It’s time for real change. It’s time to invest in our children’s wellbeing and education. Labour will continue fighting to make that happen.
