Great to be here on Bluesky! I’m the MP for gorgeous Worthing West ☀️. You’ll see me in the constituency whizzing around on my bike 🚲 meeting constituents 🤝 or up in Parliament working 🗣️📝 for positive change! ❤️
@AlexBallingerMP and I have been campaigning for changes to gambling tax for many months.
And so we’re delighted that the Budget will see an extra £1.1 billion raised from gambling duties by 2029-30 – with remote gaming duty to rise from 21 to 40 per cent in April💚

Both as an MP and a former Leader of Worthing Borough Council, I am only too aware of the extreme financial pressures faced by local government💯
I’m campaigning hard to make sure Worthing finally gets the funding we deserve.

On a visit to Number 11 last night I made my case for gambling tax reform with Rachel - starting with online gambling which has highest evidence of associated harms.
Fingers crossed for good news on this next week 🤞

Banning plastic wet wipes is a major step forward in protecting our rivers, beaches and wildlife🌊
11 billion wet wipes are used every year - so it's great to see the government taking action✅

I was glad to be with #UnitedAgainstMalnutritionAndHunger where @LordOates and @Liam Byrne MP spoke powerfully on the doom cycle of debt and malnutrition.
The UK must continue to be a voice for a more just world where everyone has the chance to thrive🌍

The recent coroner’s verdict on the death of Lee Adams lists gambling disorder as a medical cause of death, further underlining the link between gambling and suicide.
My thoughts are with Lee’s family, who have shown huge courage in seeking answers.

Really good to welcome the Worthing and Adur Chamber of Commerce and local business leaders to Parliament 🤝
Lots of discussions around how businesses across Worthing West can grow and adapt to our changing high streets and town centres, as part of a clear coastal strategy.

With some fireworks reaching decibel levels 100 times higher than a passing motorbike 🏍️ 😲 a petition is calling for a ban on the loudest fireworks

Today I joined fellow MPs in handing in a petition to No. 10 Downing Street..
Signed by over 67,000 people, it calls on the govt to raise taxes particularly on online gambling companies and ringfence the £3 billion raised to lift half a million children out of poverty 🚸
