“Thank you for listening and for taking the time to try and help. I really do appreciate it and you have changed my feelings about local MP’s and politics for the better!”
"Thank you so much for your email , I cannot thank you enough for this... It would seem that an email from yourself did the trick very quickly and we honestly cannot thank you enough."
“I just want to say a huge thank you for all the help and support you have given over the past few weeks with chasing up our visa applications. We are all super quick to complain when our politicians get things wrong but I am happy to say you have restored my faith in the system.”
"Many thanks David I very much appreciate you taking the time to reply thank you so much. The road was opened this weekend so the village are very grateful that the matter has now been resolved. I can only imagine the pressures on your time so do very much appreciate your attention on this matter - thank you so much."
"I would like to express my infinite gratitude to you for taking up the mantle and championing this campaign... It is fantastic that when the usual routes to get heard closed that you found different avenues to explore and your tenacity and support with it has been so much appreciated. Without you on side I don’t think we would have achieved this... People are very good at complaining to MPs and not very good at thanking them, so I’m sending a very big thank you for having faith that this case is a valid one and for helping us get some justice."
“I honestly cannot thank you enough, I really don’t think this would have happened without your effort and help. Thank you so much, I am beyond grateful!!”

“I have been meaning to write you for the last few weeks. In short, the message is fairly simple: as an MP I could not wish for any more. We would probably never see eye to eye on the politics of the Conservative party, but you have been most helpful any time I have written to you; this has been much appreciated."
“It is obvious that you are a very industrious, hard working, compassionate and dedicated MP trying to make a difference, not only to your constituents, but the wider public at large. As one of those constituents a sincere thank you for all your efforts and one who I am pleased to say is someone we should be proud."

“I am impressed by the record of your activities in parliament and the constituency - and even more by the Speaker's evident astonishment at your ability to reel off your co-sponsor's names for some proposal without checking you notes. You are creating exactly the right impression for a new MP - sensitive to his constituents' needs and an outstanding new performer in the Chamber."

I have been very impressed watching you stand up for our constituency."
