‘Bionic MP’ Craig Mackinlay returns to Parliament

Quite overwhelmed actually. But it's it's a bit like one of those new Year moments where you you with friends celebrating a new year and you think was it really a year ago now? It was 8 months ago I was here and I think it's going to be a very emotional day. I'd like to thank the speaker for such a warm and fulsome welcome. It's really good of him and to receive the family. But I'm, I'm really looking forward to get back in that chamber, back in the saddle, working for Southend residents and getting back to work. Yeah, Craig McKinney with a few less bits and a few new ones. But everything else is exactly the same. I've got the same campaigns, few new ones now about sepsis and limb loss. Of course I'll be a champion of from here on in, but yeah, very pleased to be back.
