  • Lammy uses the web to maximize his publicity. Using podcasts, webcasts and photos, Lammy tries to keep in touch with voters and tell them what he's been up to. He also has an online newsletter and archived speeches, papers and articles and many links to causes he is passionate about.

  • David Lammy's site is very thorough, and you can always see what he's been doing in Tottenham and all over the country. I think it's excellent that he dedicated a page to this year's transatlantic slave trade abolition bicentenary too, because it gives many links to other sites where you can inform yourself about the history and events for this year. It's so important. Well done.

  • Excellent website giving constituents up to date information. Innovative uses of podcasts and video messages as well as back copies of speeches are also useful

  • This website is fantastic. It provides up to date information for constituents and for anyone interested in David Lammy on a local and national level. It is easy to navigate and provides great resources, links and information. The podcasts and video messages challenge other MP's to get up to date and demonstrate they too can interact.

  • Lammy has raised the bar for other MPs to follow. Lammy has a national and international following and his site enables intersted parties to keep up to date with his musings. Many MPs are still living in the stone age and do not yet even provide e-mail details let alone an interactive website service.

  • And it seems that Lammy adds his own comments as well
