Over on the Guardian, our new MP for Chichester, Jess Brown-Fuller, provides diary of her first week as an MP:

On Wednesday I had the opportunity to “swear in” – taking my oath of allegiance to the crown – and officially take my seat in parliament, which was a particularly special moment in the day. I then hit the ground running by writing a letter to the environment secretary on pressing matters affecting Chichester, organising meetings for the weekend to discuss sewage and water quality, dealing with media inquiries, supporting residents and, last but not least, trying to remember where I’d last spotted a ladies loo.

I finally returned home on Friday, feeling weary but elated, humbled and privileged to have been afforded this incredible honour of representing the constituency that I love.
