It’s good news that from today all young children will be offered protection against chickenpox on the NHS🌈

The vaccine will be combined with the MMR jab, given at 12 and 18 months to protect against measles, mumps and rubella.

Children up to the age of 6 can catch up on doses when invited✅

Today marks the 50th anniversary of Labour’s Sex Discrimination Act passing into law.

As the 597th woman to be elected to Parliament, I celebrate this milestone - knowing there is still much more to do to make equality in law, equality in practice💯

The government has today published its Animal Welfare Strategy, which will greatly increase protections for animals in the wild, on the farm and at home🦊 🐮 🐶

I'm proud that Labour's strategy will bring long overdue, once-in-a-generation improvements to animal welfare💯

Bird & Blend are a great International business with their headquarters here in Worthing West 💚

Their Christmas teas are fantastic and don't forget that they also have a café that you can visit on their Goring site🎄 ☕🫖

I am extremely disappointed by the Planning Inspectorate’s decision to allow development of the site west of Bewley Road in Angmering.

While I accept the need for more housing, this ignores the wishes of residents and the democratic decision of Arun District Council.

I know this has come as a surprise but the decision to postpone the Sussex Mayoral elections until 2028 does make good sense ✅

By 2028 our Unitary Authorities will be in place and the good news is, Sussex and Brighton will still be getting an extra £38 million a year💷

Today is #WorldAIDSDay, in which we highlight the fight against the disease and remember those who have died from it.

The WHO is committed to its goal of ending AIDS by 2030. We must remain at the forefront of global efforts to reduce infections and ultimately eradicate it.

Great that govt will review the cases of 1000's of unpaid carers left in debt by confusing guidance on Carer's Allowance since 2015

This despite the vital work unpaid carers do, saving the UK economy £184 billion per year.

I'm extremely proud that this Labour government has scrapped the 2-child benefit cap, lifting 450,000 children out of poverty, including 1,350 here in #WorthingWest.

It will also help relieve the huge pressure on local foodbanks like our own amazing #WorthingFoodFoundation.
