Britain’s youngest MP will return to Parliament after a three-month absence as she makes a “good recovery” from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Labour’s Nadia Whittome said she is “excited” about heading back to the Commons on Monday when the House returns from the summer recess.

Whittome, 25, announced in May that she would take a leave of absence after months of trying to manage her condition alongside full-time work.

I’m pleased to announce that tomorrow will be my first day back in Parliament representing the people of Nottingham East.

Thank you sincerely for all your support and understanding during my leave of absence. The response was truly humbling.

“I’m making a good recovery, I feel well, I’m excited to be back representing the people of Nottingham East in Parliament,” she said in a video message.

“I want to thank everyone for your understanding over the last three months.”

Welcome back

MPs welcomed Whittome’s return with messages of support.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said: “We’re all delighted to have you back, Nadia.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
