'Women should be able to thrive in every part of their lives' This weekend marked International Womenโ€™s Day.

We must never forget that there are still those who wish to see womenโ€™s hard-won rights erode.

I will fight to ensure that every woman has the opportunity to reach her potential.

โœจ Sharing positive news about Bournemouth Town Centre.

This month Citizenโ€™s Panel member Taranga and I visited a new business in the town centre & enjoyed the pier on a lovely sunny day.

There is so much to celebrate in Bournemouth, hereโ€™s a snippet of what we did.

๐Ÿ“ฎIโ€™m proud of the campaigns Iโ€™ve run locally to save Westbourne Post Office and get a full service Post Office back in Bournemouth Town Centre. But we shouldnโ€™t have had to fight so hard.

Government announced this week it is protecting the post office network โฌ‡๏ธ

We had a great discussion about social media use and whether there should be age limits. As well as what we can do to improve Bournemouth Town Centre.

๐ŸŒนToday is an important day in Gorton & Denton, and for the nation. Itโ€™s a chance to choose unity over division.

It was lovely to meet @uklabourโ€™s candidate Angeliki Stoigia. She embodies Manchesterโ€™s spirit of diversity and inclusivity - and will make a fantastic MP for them.

Iโ€™m proud this government is reintroducing maintenance grants, increased the maximum maintenance loan and agreed to look again at Plan 2 student loans to ensure that regardless of background everyone has the chance to benefit from our world-class higher education.

We're fixing the front door of the NHS.

More GPs. Same-day urgent appointments. Backed by an extra ยฃ485 million for GP practices.

Through investment and modernisation, we are rebuilding our NHS.

'I know BCP Council's tax hike is causing concern' One of the most rewarding parts of my job as your local MP is the chance to meet amazing volunteers doing their part to make the area better.โ€ฆ

The government recently launched itโ€™s National Cancer Plan - to improve diagnosis and save lives.

Today I visited Wessex Cancer Support to learn more about how this charity supports people at all stages of their cancer journeys and their families.

Yesterday the Government announced new powers to ensure loopholes that put children at risk will be closed, and the groundwork laid for further action including the potential social media ban for under-16s which is currently being consulted on.

I support these steps.
