Standing up for workers. Backing our local economy.
Protecting workers’ rights has always been one of my top priorities — and it remains central to the work I do. I’ve voted for legislative reform that strengthens protections for workers, supports fair pay, and defends decent jobs.

⛴️ Gravesend - Tilbury Ferry Update ⛴️
I am formally calling for Kent County Council to use some of the increased funding settlement to Kent County Council to ensure that the ferry receives the funding necessary for it to resume operation.

Yesterday marked 97 years since women won the right to vote on equal terms with men.
It was an honour to wear this beautiful suffragette sash, gifted by @centenaryaction.bsky.social Action & crafted by Re:make Newport. A powerful symbol of how far we’ve come & a reminder of the work still to do.

🎥 I’m standing alongside residents on the Springhead Park estate in their fight against unfair treatment by FirstPort.
Families here are being hit with soaring service charges, poor communication, and a lack of accountability.

Great to meet with @unlockdemocracy.bsky.social in Westminster this week to support their campaign for Automatic Voter Registration.
With over 6 million eligible voters across England and Wales not registered to vote, it’s clear our current system is leaving too many voices unheard.
