An amazing moment at Bournemouth Depot, standing with students from Pokesdown Community Primary as the Secretary of State unveiled a Great British Railways train.
Here comes nationalisation 🚆

This week, Bournemouth West was hit by a double stabbing. At PMQs, I asked the PM what more is being done to tackle knife crime in my constituency. He reaffirmed his commitment to halving knife crime and outlined new measures in the Crime and Policing Bill. #PMQs #endknifecrime
Slava Ukraini
Heroiam slava!
Three years of resistance. Three years of gratitude. Three years of absolute heroism of Ukrainians. I am proud of Ukraine! I thank everyone who defends and supports it. Everyone who works for Ukraine. And may the memory of all those who gave their lives for our state and people be eternal. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

So glad to visit the stunning @russell_cotes! A must-see for its rich collection and the ‘Artists in Purbeck: Spirit of Place’ exhibit, focusing on its artistic heritage.
It's worth checking out their arts & crafts sessions this half-term. A great day out for the family!
Not a month since the oath, quotes Napoleon, who crowned himself an Emperor
"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Very honoured to receive @UKLabour 2025 Regional Merit Award from our General Secretary Hollie Ridley. Thank you for all the comrades who put my name forward. @SWLabourParty @BCPLabourParty @BournemouthLP @JessicaToale – at Plymouth, England
Do you work for you and your family:
To put a roof over your heads
Food in your belly's
Clothes on your backs
Then, think closely on who do or don't vote for
Those who have a working life should not have your conditions eroded at your and your families' expense
Join a Union!

Happy New Year!
In 2024, I was elected as the first @UKLabour & first female MP for Bournemouth West, an historic moment for the town. It's been a great start & I’m looking forward to what we can achieve together in 2025.

Looks like Wednesday will be a duvet day for many due to dire weather warnings
My condolences for those event organisers rightly cancelling or postponing the NYD events
My thanks to our service providers & blue light teams who will work as ever they do
