I will be voting against welfare cuts and urging the government to pursue fairer alternatives.

I welcome several of the welfare reforms announced by the Secretary of State yesterday, but I have serious concerns with the proposed changes to Personal Independence Payments (PIP).

I fully support constituents who would like to see the return of commercial flights to our town. What’s clear right now is that Blackpool Airport is very much open and will have a huge role to play in the future prosperity of our town.

Venture beyond our famed attractions and discover the hidden gems that showcase the town's rich history, culture and natural beauty.

I’m releasing my report on The Impact of the Cost of Living on Childhood in Blackpool South. Compiled from a survey of parents, carers, and professionals working with children in Blackpool, it has been produced to inform the work of the Child Poverty Taskforce.

Nine in 10 children now own a mobile phone by the age of 11. Before they even reach secondary school, they have access to a device that connects them to an expansive digital world – one that is not always safe. Are we doing enough to protect them?

I’ve joined a new group of Labour MPs dedicated to standing up for coastal towns and ensuring that government action matches the scale of the problems we need to tackle.

Trinity Hospice & Palliative Care Services on the Fylde Coast will receive over £200,000 as the government releases £25 million for upgrades and refurbishments today for hospices across England.

The sun shone on us yesterday as I cut the ribbon and opened Blackpool Jobs Fair, alongside employment minister Alison McGovern.

Labour has pledged to deliver 700,000 additional urgent dental care appointments across the country, and in Lancashire and South Cumbria, 20,822 urgent care appointments will be made available.

When our beaches are polluted, it’s not just the water that suffers – it’s our community, our businesses, and the reputation of Blackpool itself. That’s why I am so proud of the landmark legislation introduced by the Labour Government – the Water (Special Measures) Bill.

Today marks the beginning of National HIV Testing Week (10th-16th February) and I’m calling on my constituents to be part of the generation that stops HIV by getting tested.

This is the largest real-terms increase in nearly a decade, following years of cuts under the Tories.

The Metropole Hotel should be closed to asylum seekers and returned to its former glory.

Asda’s Cashpot for Schools has raised nearly £5.8 million for more than 22,000 schools across the UK, including £8,600 for our primary schools here in Blackpool South.

Blackpool may be culturally different, but we’ve always had a vital role in Lancashire.

Under a private healthcare system, people in Blackpool would be blocked from getting the treatment they need. This is the shocking reality that Reform leader Nigel Farage and some Tories want to bring to our NHS.

When I think about the future of our town and the opportunities available to local people, it’s clear that digital innovation is necessary.
