“Firstly, I would like to congratulate Leona Lewis on winning the X-Factor last Saturday and I know that she has a bright future in the music business ahead of her. As a Hackney resident and Member of Parliament, I feel a sense of pride in her achievement, which I am sure all residents of Hackney share with me. I have enjoyed following her success on the show, as I know many of my constituents have supported throughout. It is important to recognise Leona’s achievement not just being the first woman to do so, but also the first ever mixed-race person to be crowned the X-Factor winner. This remarkable achievement says a lot about her determination and strength which has helped her overcome all obstacles.
I believe that it is important that we recognise her achievements and that is why I have tabled an EDM in Parliament to highlight Leona Lewis’s success”
