“As your MP, my aim is to continue to be available, visible and accessible to you, and to represent you to the very best of my abilities. I’m excited to get on with the job.”
In a post on X (Twitter) outgoing MP Anne-Marie Trevelyan said “It has been a great privilege to serve as MP for Berwick-upon-Tweed for the last 9 years. Thank you for the opportunity and responsibility, and to all those who have supported me day-to-day to deliver for all constituents.”
