Nick Hillman for Cambridge

Since becoming a Special Adviser for the Coalition Government, I have stopped updating this blog. Apologies to all those who were regular readers. (As an election candidate, my work was outward-looking and based around my desire to be the MP for Cambridge but, as an unelected Special Adviser, my role is more inward-looking so a regular blog is hard to sustain.)

However, having become a father today, I couldn’t resist adding one more post. Here is our (as yet unnamed) baby boy, born at the Rosie Hospital at Addenbrooke’s in Cambridge. My wife, Lara, had a tough labour so THANK YOU to the excellent local NHS and to all the midwives who helped in the delivery of our wonderful new son.

(This is no time for politics, but my grandmother used to say she could not understand why any woman who had given birth could vote for a party called Labour…!)
