Our growers need certainty now.

Last week I met the U.K. Fruit & Vegetable Association to show my support for producers in South Norfolk, including mushroom growers in Flordon. This follows my joint letter with Terry Jermy MP urging action to protect Britain’s food security.

🎄 Feeling festive! 🎄

After a week of Christmas events across South Norfolk, I popped to Norfolk Christmas Trees in Great Melton and picked up this beauty.

And if Timo the Keeshond claims he “helped” decorate it… he’s telling tales.

Great to pop along to the Community Christmas event and always lovely bumping into the wonderful BikeActive team. Plenty happening until 6pm.

Check out the flyer to see what’s on!

Christmas starts here! 🎄

Huge thanks to Toft Monks Community Group, Clinks Care Farm and Loddon Brass Band for a brilliant Carols in the Cow Shed. We belted out Jingle Bells, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and O Come All Ye Faithful with mulled wine, apple juice for me, and top-notch mince pies!

Our posties keep Christmas moving!

Dropped into the Wymondham Royal Mail sorting office to thank our incredible posties for everything they do all year round. It’s a manic time with cards & parcels flying. When you see your postie, give them a thanks! @cwunews.bsky.social @cwueasternno5.bsky.social

Working together delivers better results.

Great to meet Wymondham Councillors to discuss how we can collaborate on the issues that matter to our town. Party labels shouldn’t block good ideas. I’m focused on getting the best outcomes for you.

Pleased to hear Norfolk County Council elections will go ahead in 2026. I’ve repeatedly called for certainty after the previous postponement.

On the new Norfolk & Suffolk Mayoral post, it’s right we take the time to get it correct rather than rush and waste public money.

Last Saturday I joined the Norfolk Skin Cancer Support Group to share my story and swap tips for tackling the side effects. Grateful to John Ragan and proud this group thrives at NNUH in South Norfolk.

𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐤’𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Brilliant to join the British Poultry Council’s annual awards.

Great to catch up with Chairman Martin Troop on this year’s infrastructure report: real ambition on investment into place, people and trade.

Huge thanks to Rachael and the team at Tesco Harford Bridge for welcoming me today and letting me help with the FareShare collection. In just 3 days, customers donated over 45 boxes of food and toys.

South Norfolk’s compassion shines through every time.

Brilliant energy at Framingham Earl High School for #UKParliamentWeek.

The class grilled me like a room of mini Jeremy Paxmans: climate, immigration, animal welfare and even fiscal drag!

Young people are switched on and ready to lead. Thanks for having me!

🚗 Nearly got run over filming this one… but worth it!

Great chats in Marlingford today about rat-run traffic, the Budget, and your local priorities. If I missed you, there’s a card through your door, or contact me via my website.

Great to meet Todd Baker in Parliament to hear about North Farm Livestock’s award-winning free range pork.

A brilliant local family business and now Producer of the Year! Learn more: www.northfarmlivestock.co.uk

Standing up for freedom matters.

Met Chloe Cheung from the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong to discuss how the UK can better protect Hongkongers from political persecution. Her testimony on fleeing repression was powerful. We must defend free expression.

Ever wondered what Parliament is really like?

It was a pleasure to welcome Peter and Val for a tour of the Palace of Westminster today. I offer these tours to all South Norfolk constituents, if you're interested, email me: [email protected]

Thank you to the Jewish Leadership Council and the Antisemitism Policy Trust for meeting with me today. I’ll keep doing all I can to support our Jewish community and ensure everyone feels safe in Norfolk and across the UK.

❄️ Rail fares frozen for the first time since they were sold off: yes please!

This will make a big difference to those using Wymondham, Spooner Row & Haddiscoe stations in South Norfolk. 🚆

Policies like this are what Labour Governments do.

I visited British Sugar’s Cantley plant: a huge part of our rural economy. Fascinating to see beet turned into granulated sugar. Massive thanks to Andy for the tour. Buy British, back British farmers!

Huge thanks to everyone who attended my Long Stratton coffee morning today. Most attended I’d say I’ve ever had.

Huge shout out to the constituent who brought along his photo of Denis Healey meeting his Keeshond (same breed as my Timo)! 🐕 I obviously have the best constituents!

Big news for rural residents!

I’ve been pushing hard to make sure rural heating oil users are heard, and we’ve secured a Government consultation on cleaner, like-for-like sustainable fuels. Have your say here: www.gov.uk/government/c...

A fantastic, energetic evening was had last night!

Great to have Karin Smyth MP, Minister of State for Health and MP for Bristol South, speaking with South Norfolk Labour Party about all things NHS, becoming a minister and how we have a huge job to get on with.

Thank you Karin for your time!

Parliament turned green yesterday!

Brilliant to host the Horticultural Trades Association for Plants in Parliament.

Wonderful to see MPs, Peers and staff queueing round the building for British-grown plants. Huge thanks to the HTA and growers: I’ll keep championing UK horticulture.

🎥 Proud moment for South Norfolk:

This week I joined a reception celebrating the BBC’s apprenticeship programme, where one of our own local apprentices is thriving. The BBC isn’t perfect, but it trains the next generation of producers, writers and journalists who serve our country.
