WE often try to catch up with Harlow MP Robert Halfon on a Friday as he does the rounds of his constituency.

We met him as he just visited the staff at Matalan in The Water Gardens.

We thought this was a good time to ask him about his education report where the subject of “white privilege” became a hot topic. We also discussed support for local businesses, five years on from Brexit, the River Stort crossing and Matt Hancock.
