"More must be done to help all young people realise their potential. For the arts, that means working in communities where disadvantage is common,to break down the socio-economic barriers" Nicholas Serota. Very relevant to Blackpool and our art scene

This summer my family and I endured a sustained barrage of horrific threats, including threats of physical and sexual assault. These were not simply unpleasant comments or political disagreements. They were serious threats that caused genuine fear and anxiety for those closest to me.
As an MP, I accept that public scrutiny and criticism come with the job. But I am also a husband and a father, and no family should ever have to live in fear simply because a loved one has chosen to serve their community.
Last week the person responsible has been made accountable by the law. I want to thank @LancsPolice for their professionalism and support, and my incredible staff for standing by me throughout this ordeal while continuing to work tirelessly for the people of Blackpool South.
I am also grateful to my parliamentary colleagues, particularly my fellow Blackpool MP and friend @BeaversLorraine, for her unwavering support.
Most importantly, I want to thank my wife and family for their strength and love. They should never have had to endure any of this.
Threats of violence, sexual assault and intimidation can never be justified, whatever someone’s political views or disagreements.
My focus now is on moving forward with my family and continuing to represent the people of my hometown. I will never allow threats or intimidation to stop me standing up for Blackpool or being accessible to the people I was elected to serve.
Blackpool are in the final four City of Culture 2029!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending The Grundy Art Gallery to see three exhibitions that celebrate not only our Working Class history, but the history of artists working with community groups in Blackpool. #BackTheBid
Happy Black History Month 🔴🟡🟢✊🏾

“The Great Revoe Rip off”
Artist unknown.
Rigby Road/Central Drive, Revoe.
It seems residents of Revoe in Blackpool are having their say on losing their homes for regeneration.

Ahead of The Childhood Lottery publication tomorrow, I tell @ObserverUK why childhood must be a national priority and why devolution must deliver for children in every postcode and why I think our hardest areas for children are a national emergency 👇🏻

Where you grow up really matters. From unsafe streets to failing schools, a groundbreaking study exposes the vast inequalities of childhood in England, prompting the children’s commissioner to declare a ‘national emergency’, by Rachel Sylvester.

Warning: Offensive language
Reform UK MP for Runcorn and Helsby Sarah Pochin has said her party ‘excludes you if you’re a woman’ and that Reform has a ‘male issue’.
The comments were made as part of an undercover investigation inside Reform UK’s political operation that has found senior party officials saying they have to “defend the indefensible”, with Nigel Farage told he was “protecting” one Reform candidate from being sacked for allegedly racist views.
ITV Exposure gained unprecedented access to Reform’s Westminster headquarters, sending in an undercover reporter inside the party in January 2026, where she worked as a press officer. She secretly recorded conversations between Reform officials as they dealt with multiple accusations of racism by Reform councillors and candidates.
Sarah Pochin did not respond to our request for a comment.
Watch ‘Undercover: A Year in Reform’ on ITV1 & ITVX from 10:20pm on Sunday
Just binge watched Time thus evening, what an amazing but brutal watch. Certainly raises awareness of how tough custody is for young people and staff. Overstretched and lacking in resources in rehabilitation
The acting in the show was first class. David Tennant, brilliant! #time

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

Nigerian media entrepreneur Mo Abudu has opened a London cinema dedicated to African and Black films, driven in part by her experience growing up in England.
Now, she wants to create a space where African and Black filmmakers can take charge of the narrative.
