Tom Brake MP has swapped his usual yellow for a more striking shade of purple to raise awareness of epilepsy.

The Carshalton and Wallington MP marked Purple Day - an international day for raising awareness of the condition - by donning a purple tie when he took to the dispatch box in front of other MPs in the House of Commons on Wednesday, March 26.

Mr Brake said: "I am proud to raise awareness of such a life-altering condition.

"Stress, tiredness and missing meals are everyday issues for many of us but with no real consequences.

"For people subject to epilepsy, these could trigger severe seizures."
