Great to be in Blackpool with @ChrisWebbMP & Kate Shane Director of Blackpool Tourism.
From Blackpool Tower & the Ballroom to the Winter Gardens, Central Pier & Pleasure Beach, I saw the huge contribution tourism makes to local jobs, businesses and economic growth 💃 🫖🎢
Last week I held a Beyond Loneliness Summit, working with local organisations to combat loneliness and social isolation.

Today is the 81st anniversary of VJ Day and the end of the Second World War.
It was a privilege to meet veterans and their families at last year’s 80th anniversary commemorations and hear their stories of sacrifice and service.
Today marks International Youth Day, where we recognise the qualities and contributions of young people across Barnsley, and around the world.
For this generation of young people, which is the most digitally connected yet isolated, feeling heard is vital.
Watching events like the @EuroAthletics Championships are foundational for many getting involved in sport and building a lifelong love of sport🏃♀️
