Heard people bad mouthing our city again (I’m looking at you Stacey)… 👀 We’re a proud city, with a rich history and bright future. We’re a city of culture, cruise ships, and diverse communities. If you ‘never have a good time’ you’re not looking in the right place. Tell her what she’s missing. 💪🏾

I watched quayside with DP World as two of the biggest cranes in Europe arrived at our port today (just 50cm shy of tallest in the WORLD)! 👀 Some places have fancy tall buildings filling their skyline, we have cruise ships and cranes – showing off our working industrial city, open for business. 💪🏾

Violence against women and girls has been declared a public health emergency. There will now be help for victims and survivors through GP practices. Backed by government funding, the new 'Steps to Safety' referral route will provide a link to local domestic abuse and sexual violence support.

Happy World Teacher’s day Southampton! 🎓 Loved spending it with Shirley Warren Primary, thanks for having me and for all you do. Best questions from students today too - my favourite was ‘how do you become the Prime Minister?’ I’m loving the Shirley Warren ambition! Thanks for being amazing! 🙏🏾

I want high-quality homes to be a right, not a privilege, and I truly believe so many of the issues we face as a society would be alleviated if we all had safe, secure and affordable homes. 🏘️ I'm really pleased our Prime Minister is of the same mind and welcome the raft of housing plans announced.

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.

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.

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. 🏠

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.
