I spoke to BBC Radio Solent about X's AI chatbot creating sexual deepfake images without consent - including of MPs. Govt is taking action - new laws, banning nudify apps & Ofcom investigating X. Listen to full clip here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

📉 Great news! NHS waiting lists at lowest in nearly 3 years - down 312,000 since July 2024. Here in Bournemouth West, UHD waiting lists down nearly 5,000 since the election. November saw second biggest monthly fall in 15 years, despite winter pressures. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Appalling that X's AI chatbot has created illegal and harmful sexual content, including child abuse images. I raised this in Parliament. Platforms must be held accountable. Pleased Ofcom is investigating & govt is strengthening laws on deepfakes as matter of urgency.

🏘️Good news! Average mortgage costs in Bournemouth West are £1,960 lower since the general election. Welcome news for homeowners. Since coming into government we've focused on economic stability - lower mortgages, £150 off energy bills, frozen rail fares.

There is still time to fill out my priorities survey and help shape my work for 2026 and beyond. My latest @bournemouthecho.bsky.social column talks about some of the issues emerging from the survey. Do you agree? Survey ➡️ jessicatoale.com/priorities www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/2575534...

🚨 Breaking: £93.4m government funding boost for BCP Council 🚨 That's a 23% increase in central government funding by 2028-29. The first multi-year settlement in over a decade means financial certainty. Years of cuts had consequences. Now we're rebuilding. A real turning point.

🛣️ Government announces first Road Safety Strategy in over a decade. Since being elected, I've heard your concerns about speeding and unsafe junctions. This strategy delivers real action: tougher drink-drive limits, safer vehicles, better infrastructure.

We're hiring! 📝 Chief of Staff (part-time) - Deadline: 16 Jan www.w4mpjobs.org/JobDetails.a... 📱 Communications Officer (full-time) - Deadline: 23 Jan www.w4mpjobs.org/JobDetails.a... Know someone who'd be great? Please share!

Improving bus routes comes up time and again with residents. BCP Council has received £6m from the government to improve services, yet they're threatening to cut vital routes like the 36. I raised this in Parliament - govt funding should protect services, not cut them.

🗣️ SEND reform events - share your views! I'm hosting two sessions for parents, carers & schools: 📍 In-person: Fri 9 Jan, 12-1:30pm (West Howe) 💻 Online: Wed 21 Jan, 10:30-11:30am Register for venue/link: jessicatoale.com/send

I know some constituents are concerned about changes to jury trials, so I raised this in Parliament. A third of sex crime victims have waited over a year. Defendants are playing the system, causing cases to collapse. These reforms aim to get victims justice faster.

I know many households are feeling the pressure of rising costs, especially at this time of the year. Bournemouth Water is offering free water-saving devices to help customers use water more efficiently and save money on bills. More info here: www.bournemouthwater.co.uk/household/yo...

As we head into 2026, I want to stay visible, accessible and open about the work I’m doing for Bournemouth West. My monthly newsletter shares updates on local issues, upcoming events and my work locally and in Parliament. Sign up here: jessicatoale.com/newsletter

📰 This week my fortnightly column is a reflection on my 5 priorities and the progress we’ve made against them. Read it here ⬇️ www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/2572145...

🧑‍🎄 Merry Xmas to everyone in Bournemouth West! It's been my first full year as your MP. Thank you for your trust and for sharing your ideas and concerns – it drives everything I do. I hope you get time to rest and recharge. Here's to 2026 and making our area even better.

🎄 My Christmas card got a mention on ITV Meridian’s The Last Word. It was designed by Joanna Ackroyd, working with Bournemouth charity SAMEE, who support young people with learning disabilities into self-employment. Watch here ⬇️ youtu.be/7pGJCiqEqac?...

The government has launched a new National Plan to End Homelessness, backed by £3.5bn. It will halve long-term rough sleeping, end unlawful B&B use for families, and focus on prevention. This sits alongside the £2.2m previously confirmed for BCP Council. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

🎄 Helping our Armed Forces get home for Xmas 35,000 service personnel - including many based in the South West - will get help with travel home this Xmas. Eligible personnel can claim via unit HR/JPA. We're backing our Forces with travel support, better pay & renewed housing.

🎄This Christmas, I’m proud to support Bournemouth Foodbank’s Make Christmas Count Appeal. They provide practical help and advice to local people when times are tough. Donations up to £250 are matched, helping support more local families. Donate here: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/make-chris...

🎉 Employment Rights Bill becomes law! Before becoming an MP, I met a refuse collector facing fire & rehire. Once this comes into force, workers like him will have real protection. ✅ Ban on zero-hours contracts ✅ Sick pay from day one ✅ Crackdown on fire & rehire

I know residents are concerned about potential NHS strikes during winter pressures. The government has made a substantial offer to resolve this. In the meantime, here's important NHS information about accessing care. GPs and dentists remain open as usual.

💼 We’re backing young people in Bournemouth West with our £820m Youth Guarantee. 495 young people here claiming unemployment benefits will get real opportunities - 350k training places, Youth Hubs, Jobs Guarantee & 50k extra apprenticeships.

I've written to Evri's CEO demanding urgent action on delivery failures in Bournemouth West. Parcels falsely marked as delivered, left in insecure locations, or disappearing entirely. This is causing real harm at the worst possible time. My constituents deserve better.

My latest @bournemouthecho.bsky.social column looks at the postal issues affecting hundreds of people in Bournemouth this Christmas - Evri and Royal Mail. I've written to both of these private companies and Ofcom to get to the bottom of this. Read more > www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/2569750...

📬 After visiting Winton delivery office in October, BH9, BH10 & BH11 residents are still facing delivery failures. Residents are missing NHS appointments because post isn't arriving in time. I've written to Ofcom demanding they investigate & take enforcement action ⬇️

🌍 Today is #HumanRightsDay I joined an Amnesty International drop-in & met local resident Mark Stimson and campaigners calling for stronger protections at home and abroad. My time in international development taught me: rights matter everywhere - and I’ll keep fighting for them.

💜 Today is the end of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. In Parliament I highlighted Shut It Down - set up by teachers at Winton & Glenmoor Academies to tackle misogyny and promote healthy relationships. Govt will back teachers with new guidance and training.

🎫 We're banning ticket touting! After the Oasis ticket issues, we're taking action to protect fans from being ripped off. It's now illegal to resell tickets above face value - saving fans £37 per ticket on average and £112m collectively per year. We're putting fans first.

🚧 Record £38m funding to fix potholes across BCP! Part of Labour's £7.3bn investment in roads - double what the Conservatives pledged nationally. Delivering on our promise to fix an extra million potholes a year. Read more here: www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/2566419...

🚆 Rail fares frozen for the first time in 30 years! After a 60% rise under the Conservatives, we're freezing regulated fares until March 2027 - saving commuters hundreds of pounds. Putting money back in people's pockets and making rail travel better value for money.

Brilliant news - Glenmoor Academy recognised as a lead school for attendance & behaviour support. They'll help other schools improve attendance as the government rolls out free breakfast clubs & mental health support. Read more ⬇️ www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/2566125...

🚨 We're cleaning up local politics 🚨 The government is introducing tough new powers to tackle councillor misconduct - including suspension for serious breaches. Residents deserve the highest standards from their representatives. www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/2565877...

📰 In my fortnightly Bournemouth Daily Echo column this week, I write about my visit to St Joseph's Primary and what the Autumn Budget means for families, schools and businesses in the local area ⬇️ www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/2566132...

📢 Budget briefing for Bournemouth West businesses Join me online Monday 1st December, 9:30-10:30am to discuss the Budget and what it means for your business. Your chance to ask questions and share your views. Register: jessicatoale.com/business-bri...

Delighted this govt has awarded £2.3m to @bournemouthuni.bsky.social for a Cyber Competence Centre & £1.2m to AUB to expand the Film School. We're lucky to have two great universities nurturing talent in Bournemouth West & equipping students with the skills our local economy needs.

🪖 More support for local veterans! The UK's first Veterans Strategy in 7 years will benefit 3,641 veterans in Bournemouth West. £27m is now open for bids to create VALOUR centres offering health, housing & jobs support. Apply by 14 Jan 2026. ➡️ www.gov.uk/guidance/val...

📢 I want to hear from you - help shape my local priorities for Bournemouth West! I'm hosting events giving residents the chance to discuss what matters most. First event Mon 24th Nov in Kinson, more throughout late Nov & Dec. Register: www.jessicatoale.com/priorities-event

Today I raised the impact of years of Tory cuts to public services in Bournemouth West with the Prime Minister - youth services gone, neighbourhood policing decimated, no NHS dentists. He confirmed there will be no return to austerity. We're rebuilding our public services.

As the town’s first female MP, I have a deep understanding of women’s safety & am determined to improve things locally. Ahead of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, I reflect on what it will take to halve violence ⬇️ www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/2562534...

Good news - NHS waiting lists down 230,000 since last July and ambulance response times nearly 10 minutes faster for heart attacks and strokes. Real progress for Bournemouth West, but we'll keep pushing for more.

Police & Crime Commissioners are being scrapped. This will cut bureaucracy, save £100m & allow us to reinvest £20m/year into frontline policing. I asked the minister to look again at the funding formula - Bournemouth West needs support for our seasonal pressures and rural areas.

I recently hosted a series of Safer Communities events in my Bournemouth West constituency bringing together Dorset Police & BCP Council's ASB team so we could hear from residents, address their concerns and share progress being made. Learn more: jessicatoale.com/post/bournem...

After launching the DES Justice Campaign last week, I’m pleased the Government has apologised and promised action to support generations of women whose lives were changed by this devastating drug. Read more here ⬇️ www.jessicatoale.com/post/governm...

There was such an incredible display of community at the Armistice Day Service of Remembrance in Kinson. It is a powerful testament to what our armed forces, all those who served past and present and their sacrifice for our freedoms means to us here. We will remember them 🌺

🌺 This Remembrance Sunday, I’m honouring all who served - and dedicating my tribute to David Wood and Helping Homeless Veterans UK, who support some of our most vulnerable veterans in Bournemouth & Poole.  We will remember them.

🏥 Brilliant news! University Hospitals Dorset has secured £1.75m from Great British Energy for solar panels. This will save £3.4-4.2m on energy bills - money going straight back into patient care across Bournemouth and Poole.

I spoke to BBC Politics South about the NHS 10-year plan's three shifts: analogue to digital, treatment to prevention, hospital to community. Locally, Bournemouth's new Beach building & Poole becoming a major planned treatment hospital. Watch here 👉 bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Last night I spoke about the DES drug scandal in the Hillsborough Law debate. Today I hosted the launch of the DES Justice Campaign at Westminster with affected women. These campaigners have fought for decades to be heard. Justice delayed must never be justice denied. 💙

We're launching a fast-track consultation to cut the red tape that's been holding back our local bars and pubs - and we want to hear from YOU. Have your say by Nov 6th ➡️ www.gov.uk/government/n...

What difference is a Labour government making? NHS waiting times coming down, economy growing at fastest rate in G7, billions invested in schools & NHS, plus new employment & renters' rights. Watch here: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
