Former Labour MP for Loughborough welcomed the 2022 East Midlands Regional Labour conference to Loughborough University on Saturday 5th November.

He was asked to welcome delegates to the town and the University and introduce Margaret Beckett MP who was the main guest speaker for the morning.

Loughborough remains one of the key marginal seats that will determine who governs after the next General Election and the the sitting Tory MP looks very vulnerable to Labour - especially after her full support was thrown behind Boris Johnson for the latest leadership bid despite him reigning in disgrace only weeks beforehand.

Other guest speakers included Lord Coaker, Jonanthan Ashworth MP and Yvette Cooper MP, Labour’s Shadow Home Office Minister.

Andy said “It was very kind of the Party to give me a platform for 10 minutes and I was able to confirm that despite my continued interest in politics a return to Westminster isn’t something I intend to pursue. I wish the next Labour candidate for Loughborough well, but it won’t be me!
