In this episode of Your Voice | Dorset Podcast, host Luke Graham sits down with Tom Hayes, Labour MP for Bournemouth East, as he reflects on his first year in office and the drive behind his mission to improve lives across the community.

From campaigning for better housing and reforming leaseholder rights, to improving playgrounds and tackling dangerous parking, Tom has been busy making change happen.

Growing up in Salford caring for two disabled parents, Tom shares how that early experience of injustice and resilience shaped his passion for public service — and why he believes Bournemouth deserves better.

🗳️ Hear about his journey from charity leader and local councillor to turning a long-held Conservative seat Labour for the first time since 1974 — and what comes next for the people he represents.
