See all- Jessica Toale MP - PLEASE NOTE NEW DATE FOR THIS EVENTMoordown Community Centre, Bournemouth, BH9 1TW
From humanist marriage and assisted dying to housing, immigration, and local challenges — your chance to put questions directly to Bournemouth West’s new MP.
Please note revised date of Saturday 27th September 2.00pm
Jessica Toale MP made history in 2024 by becoming the first Labour MP ever elected for Bournemouth West, a constituency previously held by the Conservatives since its creation in 1950. She will join us to reflect on her first year in Westminster.
Jessica studied PPE at York and urban development at the LSE, later working as a political adviser and co-founding Labour’s Foreign Policy Group before entering Parliament. She will speak for about 20 minutes, followed by a 30-minute Q&A.
Our members may want to ask about humanist concerns such as legalising humanist marriage, House of Lords reform, faith schools, and assisted dying, as well as wider issues such as housing, immigration, Ukraine, and the local challenges facing Bournemouth.
