During the election I promised an unrelenting focus on Jobs and the local Economy & I will continue to back legislation that protects workers rights.
I’ll continue working hard to deliver for Gravesham, to ensure workers and our local economy are always put first.
#Gravesham #WorkersRights
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.
I have written to the leader of KCC to advocate on behalf of the people of Gravesham, who so desperately want this service back.
With our petition, my adjournment debate and now this open letter to KCC, my message remains clear: We want our Ferry Back!

⛴️ 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.

Today we marked 97 years since women won the vote on equal terms with men with a commemorative photocall of women MP. Each MP received a personalised sash by Remake Newport, marking their place in the history of #WomenInParliament.
I’m proud to be part of the most representative Parliament in UK history & be the 569th woman elected to Parliament. Let’s keep pushing for equity, visibility and opportunity for all women in public life. 💜💚🤍
#VotesForWomen #CentenaryAction #WomenInPolitics
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.
It was a pleasure to meet so many constituents on a warm summer morning. ☀️
#Gravesham #Shorne #Community
It was great to be invited to St Peters & St Paul's church in Shorne this weekend!
Thank you to Rev. Hurst for hosting & to those who made this event possible, local community events like this are at the heartbeat of our communities.
My official statement on the proposed closure of the Higham GP Surgery.
As always, I’m holding regular constituency surgeries to listen to your concerns and make sure Gravesham’s voice is heard loud and clear 🦻

🚨 A quick update from me – here's just a snapshot of what I’ve been up to recently in both Gravesham and Westminster! 🏛️🏘️
This is just some of the highlights of my work – there's so much more I’ve been doing both locally and nationally to stand up for our community.
🌈 Happy Pride Month, Gravesham! 🏳️🌈
This June, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of our LGBTQ+ community. Let's continue to stand together for equality, dignity, & love—because Gravesham is a place where everyone should feel safe and proud to be who they are.

#Gravesham #firstport #Leasehold #HomeOwnership
I’ve raised these issues in Parliament and continue to work closely with campaigners to bring an end to this exploitation.
Enough is enough — we need urgent reform of estate management practices. If you’re affected, speak up and join the campaign to hold these companies to account.
🎥 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.
Your work picking up litter and keeping our community clean truly makes a difference!

#FlyTipping #Gravesham #StreetChampions #CleanStreets #Litter
This government is serious about tackling environmental crime — and here in Gravesham, we’re already leading the way!
I would like to give a huge shout out to Gravesham Borough Council & all our amazing volunteers involved in the 'Street Champions' campaign.
🍂🌏♻️ Continuing the crack down on fly-tipping right here in #Gravesham! 🍂🌏♻️
Great to stand with Steve Reed MP , Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, as we set out this government's tough new plans to seize and crush fly-tippers’ vans and clean up our streets.
That’s why I’ve signed their open letter calling for change.
Automatic Voter Registration would be a simple, modern solution to strengthen our democracy and ensure every eligible citizen can make their voice count.
#UnlockDemocracy #VoterRegistration #Gravesham
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.
Proud to stand with UNICEF in championing the rights, futures, & well-being of children around the world.
It was also an honour to meet #England & #Arsenal legend David Seaman, who shared his personal commitment to improving the lives of children everywhere.
💙⚽🌍 #ForEveryChild #SoccerAid #UNICEF
This week I had the pleasure of attending an inspiring @unicef.org & Soccer Aid reception - focused on one powerful message: putting children at the heart of UK development work.
Thank you for all the hard work you are putting into restoring the ferry.
Bring Back the Gravesend-Tilbury Ferry! 🚢
Since being elected, I’ve fought tirelessly to restore the Gravesend-Tilbury Ferry — a vital link for our communities.
