Great to have 22 MPs show their support for #EnglishTourismWeek26 at @tourismsvoice's Parliamentary event. Thanks to @ChrisWebbMP for hosting. English tourism is a powerhouse industry, annually contributing £127bn to the UK economy, while supporting 2m+ jobs & 1,000s of SMEs.

One of the standout stories from this year’s Blackpool Jobs Fair was the full-circle moment for Benjamin from @Pleasure_Beach. 🎢 Just a year ago, Benjamin attended my Jobs Fair in search of an opportunity & secured a role as a retail assistant. (1/2)

@Sacha_Lord @PollingReportUK @nadhimzahawi Thanks @Sacha_Lord

@PollingReportUK @nadhimzahawi @ChrisWebbMP I’ve met with @ChrisWebbMP. I’m my opinion, there is no one more passionate about not just the people of South Blackpool, but also the businesses. He’s been a huge help for Hospitality on a national level.

This #InternationalWomensDay we celebrate and recognise the women who shape our lives and our communities, and the incredible work of local organisations like @LancashireWomen and @uyacic that are making a real difference in the lives of local women and families. 💜

I’m also proud that this year Labour has committed to a National Year of Reading, because improving literacy, widening opportunity, and ensuring every child can build a lifelong love of reading must be a national priority. @Literacy_Trust (3/3)

For a long time, books didn’t feel accessible to me the way they seemed to others. I found my way into reading through alternative formats, and it opened up a whole new world. Every young person deserves that same opportunity. (2/3)

This #WorldBookDay, I want to shine a light on the fantastic resources we have here in Blackpool to access books for free. 📚 Reading comes in many forms, and every single one of them counts. Growing up with dyslexia, traditional reading didn’t always come easily to me. (1/3)
