Today marks one year since my election as MP of Blackpool South. During my election campaign I made a number of pledges to you. I’ve kept my word.

Back in November, I launched a campaign to make infant formula more affordable and accessible, starting with a debate in Parliament on the strict regulations that govern it. Here’s what action I’ve taken since.

My mum moved to Blackpool in the ‘80s to become a Butlins red coat and never left. Tourism is in my blood. I understand that this industry isn’t just about business – it’s about people, places and pride.

If you’ve ever sat on hold to your GP at 8am, just to be told there are no appointments left, you’re not alone. That’s why I’m proud that, just a few months into the Labour Government, we’re already turning that story around.

Too often, our health system is forced to step in when people are already in crisis. Citizens Advice is connecting people early with link workers who provide holistic support aimed at managing and preventing health from deteriorating.

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.

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.
