Today I raised the impact of years of Tory cuts to public services in Bournemouth West with the Prime Minister - youth services gone, neighbourhood policing decimated, no NHS dentists.
He confirmed there will be no return to austerity. We're rebuilding our public services.

Police & Crime Commissioners are being scrapped.
This will cut bureaucracy, save £100m & allow us to reinvest £20m/year into frontline policing.
I asked the minister to look again at the funding formula - Bournemouth West needs support for our seasonal pressures and rural areas.

There was such an incredible display of community at the Armistice Day Service of Remembrance in Kinson.
It is a powerful testament to what our armed forces, all those who served past and present and their sacrifice for our freedoms means to us here.
We will remember them 🌺
