Stephen Morgan delivers on commitment to work with More United in achieving a politics of “hope and compassion”

By 18 December 2019No Comments

Stephen Morgan, sworn in as MP for Portsmouth South yesterday, in one of his first acts as MP met with cross-party colleagues in a bid to work towards a more compassionate political landscape.

More United, which has over 150,000 members and is working with 62 MPs from six parties, backed Stephen Morgan in the 2019 General Election. They seek to provide a network of MPs working together to tackle issues like homelessness, the social care crisis, mental health support and the climate emergency.

Stephen Morgan said:

“In my acceptance speech last Friday, I pledged to work with others regardless of party to tackle the major issues blighting our society. This is what Portsmouth people deserve and this is what I intend to do.

Our country is deeply divided and what we need to see is co-operation and unity in the face of adversity. Today, I met with other likeminded MPs to discuss how we tackle together issues such as homelessness, climate change and improving mental health care provision.

I look forward to continuing to work with others to ensure that we have honest, frank politics and that the priority of MPs is always serving the interests of their constituents”.

The meeting that took place today in parliament saw around 40 MPs come together.  The purpose was to set out the agenda for the year to come and to encourage attendees to spread the word about the importance of cross-party discussion.

Stephen Morgan MP received backing from More United due to his running of a clean and honest campaign, a pledge he is standing by now that he has been re-elected to parliament.
