I’m about community and the success of Furness. We’ve been let down and left behind, with our communities becoming some of the poorest in the country. We need strength and a voice that will fight for Furness.

​My priorities:

• Protect our NHS and put it back on its feet again after years of neglect. That includes making sure that Furness General Hospital is made a priority for investment and that services are improved.
• Regenerate our High Streets. I am passionate about the role that our town High Streets can play in building community. So many people rely on our High Streets and I want to see them thriving again across Barrow and Furness.
• Support our defence industry, brave armed-forces personnel and veterans. Through my position on the Defence Committee, as Chair of the AUKUS All Party Parliamentary Group, and as officer in the All-Party Defence Group I will stand up for our country’s important defence industry, our armed forces and veterans in Parliament.
• Unlock potential for green jobs in Furness. Our unique geography and manufacturing expertise means we can become a national leader in the green-energy transition which will bring jobs and investment. I will push forward plans for new hydrogen power innovation, a floating solar park, upgrades to the offshore wind industry, and a carbon storage facility making use of the depleted gas fields in Morecambe Bay.
• Get buses, roads, and rail working for you . Our towns have some of the worst transport links in the country. The A590 and A595 are not fit for purpose and our train and bus infrastructure is a joke – all this is holding us back. For decades, major road upgrades and rail projects have been promised, but Tory governments in Westminster have failed to deliver.   I will unlock better infrastructure for our towns.
