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.

🚨 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.

🎄 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.

🎉 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.

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 ⬇️
