A Suffolk MP joined an campaign aimed at raising awareness of politics by talking to students on her patch.

To mark Parliament Week, Suffolk Coastal MP Therese Coffey visited students at Felixstowe Academy.

Dr Coffey said: “The students asked some really insightful questions and I am sure they went away more enthused to take an active part in our political process.”
