Big conversations start with simple questions.

In Ep.1 of Politics Unchained, I sit down with @libdemcam.bsky.social to talk flags - what they mean, who they represent, and why they've become such a flashpoint 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧

It's not left or right. It's about who we are.

📚 Do you work in a primary school without a library?
Yesterday’s announcement that every primary school will have a library by the end of this Parliament, is a huge win for #LibrariesForPrimaries!
Sign up to make sure your school doesn’t miss out and gain access to resources.

Rural kids deserve the same start as everyone else.

Schools & early years settings in North Norfolk deserve to be funded properly.

If we're serious about opportunity, this is vital! No excuses.

The Govt is hammering farmers:

❌️ Family Farm Tax
❌️ Scrapped SFI
❌️ Reckless trade deals

Blow after blow, with rural communities hung out to dry.

I'll always back our farmers. They feed us. They sustain us. They deserve our support.

3 months waiting for an answer on a new Dental School in Norfolk.

Today even the Speaker told the govt they're out of order.

Norfolk deserves dentists. Norfolk deserves answers. I won't stop until we get both.

🚨 Victory for Wells!

When the Ambulance Service considered pulling Paramedics on Bikes this winter, our community roared back: NO WAY.

Today I can confirm: the Cycling Response Unit stays 🎉

They save minutes, resources, and lives.

Rural care isn't optional.

Incredible visit to The Beacon in Mundesley - a lifeline for Norfolk kids needing mental health & emotional support.

Disgracefully, govt has excluded places like this from the new breakfast scheme.

I’ll fight to change that. Every child deserves a proper start. 🍽️🔥

Our precious chalk streams are rare, beautiful, and under threat 💧

I'm fighting for cleaner water, tougher regulation, and real accountability.

Let's protect what makes our part of the world so special 💓

🦕🧃 Chatted dinosaurs & snacks with the kids - pure joy.

But behind the smiles, rural early years settings are stretched & under-funded.

It's time we properly fund rural early years. No more excuses.

🚨 Sea Palling: poor mobile signal, no sirens, at risk of tidal floods.

Govt's plan? Knock on doors 🤦‍♂️

They just don't get it!

🔥 Rural poverty is a crisis hiding in plain sight. Families in North Norfolk are being left behind, and that's unacceptable.

We need urgent action, investment, and a plan that works for everyone, not just cities and urban towns.

Government should work for you. When Chris reached out, my team and I got to work - and together, we solved it.

I'll never stop fighting to make sure every voice is heard and every problem has a path to a solution.

Thank you, Chris, for your kind words 🙏

In Parliament today, I called for a fair, effective immigration system: one that keeps out those who exploit it and stands up for people fleeing genuine danger.

We can have security AND compassion.

But only if we fix this broken system.

First day back in Westminster, but my heart (and focus) is always in North Norfolk.

Today started with helping local residents via video call, because no matter where I am, supporting our community always comes first.

I've always believed that the best ideas don't come from Westminster - but from from listening to people.

That's what my Summer Tour is all about: ensuring your voice is heard.

Thanks to everyone who's turned up so far on day two - it's been another fabulous day 🙏❤️

🗣 Our cities have reliable transport because we've invested in them. Our rural communities deserve the same backing - to give everyone a fair chance to get around 🚍

🚍 You shouldn't need a car to live a full life in North Norfolk.

I'm working to rebuild our rural bus network so people can easily get to work, school, appointments - and back again!

Public transport shouldn't be seen as a luxury. It's a lifeline.
