I made the case for increasing the level of business rate discounts for hospitality properties from 5p to 20p, and for freezing further increases in rateable values wherever possible. Without action, we risk losing places that communities rely on and value deeply.

These businesses are the beating heart of our high streets and communities. They provide good local jobs, bring people together, and help keep our town centres alive, yet far too many are being pushed to the brink by rising costs and unfair pressures.

On National #PostalWorkersDay, we should recognise the vital role posties play in every community, especially at one of the busiest times of the year. They’re facing heavier workloads and longer hours and their commitment deserves proper respect.

I’ve been calling on the Government to fund more SEND provision in Blackpool – today, they’ve listened.
I am pleased to announce that we’ve secured the funding we’ve been fighting for, to support 120 extra SEND places right here in Blackpool.

Really proud to share this personal note from the Prime Minister following months of work pushing for new Typhoon orders.
This is more than just a defence deal – it’s jobs, skills and livelihoods here on the Fylde Coast, across Lancashire and the UK.
