Tom Rutland MP for East Worthing and Shoreham

I’m working for you as East Worthing and Shoreham’s first ever Labour Member of Parliament.

I’m proud to be part of a new generation of MPs, working with this new Labour government led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, to transform our community and country for the better. There is much to do, but I know that together we can deliver the change we need. 

I’m out and about regularly across all parts of our beautiful constituency – East Worthing, Shoreham, Lancing, Sompting, Southwick, Fishersgate and the Findon Valley – meeting with local residents, businesses, charities, healthcare providers, schools and other public services.

  Water quality is a key issue which residents consistently raise with me.   From sewage spills to rising bills and the overall poor performance of our water companies, we are all rightly fed up with the state of our waterways.

  A huge thank you to all the students who joined my office for work experience this year! We had over twenty students complete placements, undertaking tasks including drafting policy correspondence, learning about casework, creating communication content, writing speeches, joining relevant meetings and much more.
