Big, bold stuff from our Prime Minister in his speech today! 💥 Proud we’re not shying away from big issues. Proud that we won’t stop until we solve the problems hounding families in Southampton and beyond – whether social care costs, young people out of work, or energy bills. Here’s to HOPE! 🙏🏾

Have you been to the Boat Show yet? ⚓ The global boating world descending on our great city is a sight to be seen, whilst bringing millions into our economy and putting us on the map. Great to hear about all the local schools visiting too. Huge thanks to all who work so hard to make it happen! 👏🏾

Too many victims have felt let down by the justice system. These measures will ensure victims are supported at every stage, from specialist support in court to faster case progression. We're deploying the full power of the state to halve violence against women and girls within a decade.

Freshers’ Week is an exciting time for all students – and everyone deserves to feel safe on a night out. That’s why this government is taking action to tackle spiking, bring offenders to justice and make nights out safer for everyone.

Thank you St Denys for taking part in my Big Southampton Test Community Conversation this weekend! 📢 It was invaluable to discuss key issues facing the neighbourhood – from transport, to safety, to community cohesion and, of course, Southern Water. Next I’m visiting Lordshill, details soon! 👀

An estimated 1.4 million people aged 16+ were stalked in the year ending March 2025 alone. That’s why we're strengthening our response, expanding the use of Stalking Protection Orders and investing in specialist Protection Order Teams to better protect victims and bring perpetrators to justice.

Great to see the Labour Council in Southampton wasting no time in cracking down on bad landlords using new powers provided to them by the Labour Government's Renters' Rights Act. 🎉 Amazing to see this important legislation being put to good use locally. Huge well done to all involved! 💪🏾

Here in Southampton, the average wait for a three-bed council home is currently around 8 years. If everyone had access to a safe, affordable, comfortable home, so many other problems would be alleviated as a result. That’s why we’re investing £39 billion to build social and affordable housing. 🏠

Whilst it’s back to school week for kids across Southampton, it’s also back to Parliament week for MPs! 🎒 Great to be back after a productive summer. An historic day, with Andy Burnham giving his first Prime Minister’s Questions to a packed Chamber. 💪🏾 Excited to be back and for all to come! ✨

📢 JUST ANNOUNCED: From April, disabled people in Southampton will be able to use their free bus passes at any time of day. Right now, if you wanted to travel before 9:30am you would have to pay. This is simply not fair and I’m pleased we are acting to right this wrong. Lots done, lots more to do!

📢 JUST ANNOUNCED: Southampton is getting a new mental health emergency department! This is on top of funding a new urgent treatment ‘walk-in’ centre at the Hospital and more investment into primary care - all aimed at taking pressure off the current A&E department and cutting down waiting times.

Really exciting to see Southampton chosen as one of the first areas for SSEN's new pilot to upgrade old electricity connections. ⚡ This is alongside SSEN's huge £155 million investment in Southampton's electricity network – something we worked hard to secure through my Southampton Energy Coalition.

Loved participating in a Q&A with fellow Southampton MPs last week, as part of Darren Paffey’s Summer School. 🎓 We covered loads, including how we got to where we are today, the biggest challenges faced as female MPs, and handling the heat on social media. Huge thanks for the rich conversation! 💪🏾

I know from my time as Leader of the Council what a huge issue social care is, from NHS waiting times to easing the burden on our unpaid family carers. It’s going to take all of us working together to fix it, and we will need a factual, evidence-based approach. caseycommission.co.uk/bigconversat...

It’s not right that some are renting out their council homes for profit while families in need are left on waiting lists for years. As part of a new partnership with Airbnb, we’re cracking down on social housing fraud with 500 cases already uncovered within days.

As part of my ministerial responsibilities I’ve been working hard to hold Capita to account on civil service pensions. Our public servants, often after a lifetime of service, deserve a secure retirement, and we will not let taxpayers foot the bill for corporate failure.

So proud to be part of the government that is finally banning conversion therapy. 🌈 It's been a long road, first promised back in 2018 under Theresa May. Nobody should ever be subjected to practices that seek to change who they are, including LGBTQ+ people here in Southampton.
