This week Roydon Primary School warmly welcomed me into their assembly. I am always impressed by the thoughtful questions from pupils, from what it is like being an MP to the challenges around flooding.

Congratulations to Hannah Spencer for being selected for us in the Gorton and Denton by-election. It's a clear choice on the 26th of Feb between @greenparty.org.uk & Reform.

Thank you to everyone who came along to our recent Big Day Out in Diss - a brilliant turnout! Look out for my latest newsletter on my work in Waveney Valley and in Parliament.

WASPI campaigners let down once again. This Government has admitted wrongdoing but offered a bitter dose of nothing to a entire generation of women who faced so many hurdles and prejudices in respect of their careers and earnings. news.sky.com/story/waspi-...

If a practice is too cruel for food produced in Britain, it should be too cruel for food imported into Britain. I spoke in Parliament to argue that higher welfare standards on British farms should not be undermined by lower-welfare imports.

A Call for Evidence is open for women and families to share their experiences of maternity and neonatal care in England. It really matters that your voice be heard to give government the best evidence on how to improve care, make services safer,

Great news! This needs to happen in England too!

Today, on the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and International #HolocaustRemembranceDay, at a time when peace seems more distant than ever, it is more critical than ever that we learn and uphold the lessons of the Holocaust. #HMD2026

I support the ban on boiling animals alive. There is no reason for such cruelty. I was glad to see it included in the Animal Welfare Strategy. Now we need the Government to publish a clear roadmap and timelines for this ban to protect lobsters and other crustaceans.

Green-led Mid Suffolk District Council is calling on groups to apply for their new Community Nature Recovery Grant. The Council is offering up to £50,000 for projects that protect and expand wildlife corridors and habitats, including tree planting and the creation of wildflower meadows.

One of the highlights of my job is getting to speak with school children about my work as Waveney Valley's MP and hear what matters to them. Bacton Primary School’s pupils did not disappoint with their inquisitive questions about life as an MP and how we can help wildlife.

Diss Amnesty has week in, week out held a vigil for the people of Gaza, making sure we remember the ongoing dire humanitarian crisis. I was pleased to join them against last Saturday and talk about how I am pressing our Government to do more, including on access to aid and healthcare

A strategy is only as good as its delivery. I welcome the Animal Welfare Strategy, but it lacks clear timescales for action. It also leaves major omissions, including imports of fur and trophy hunting. The Govt must ensure this strategy delivers real, lasting change for animals

A strategy of very-well-resourced, nature-based based #climate adaptation is the most crucial single thing we need to do, once we have taken on board the awful forecasts contained in the full unexpurgated version of this report. archive.ph/ZMs9y

I really enjoyed my visit to Bressingham Primary School. The pupils’ questions were fascinating, from the importance of wildlife and preventing flooding to what it is like being an MP.

The Govt's National Security Assessment is a stark warning, showing that global biodiversity loss & ecosystem collapse threaten the UK’s security & prosperity. I welcome the Leader of the House's commitment to make time available so we can debate this critical issue.

This week, Govt quietly published a 'Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security assessment' after an FOI forced their hand. It is a deeply concerning read for anyone who cares about our future.

Retail, hospitality and leisure businesses face significant business rate rises this April. I raised the Blue Boar in Walsham le Willows with the Minister on behalf of the family who run it. Village pubs are vital for jobs, social connection, and rural community life.

It was great to chat with the Samaritans today on Brew Monday about the importance of looking after your own mental health & checking in on others. It is vital that the govt publishes its progress report on the Suicide Prevention Strategy as soon as possible.

It is good to see DEFRA relaunch the Sustainable Farming Incentive, opening in June for small farms and more widely in September. After the Government abruptly closed SFI to new entrants with little notice last year, I repeatedly pressed for clarity on when it would reopen.

I will be responding to the Government’s consultation on phasing out crates & cages. After long running campaigning, it’s vital we secure a strong, time-bound phase out with support for farmers. Have your say by 9 March

The Eye Opportunities Group does fantastic work supporting families across large parts of Suffolk and Norfolk. The group provides specialist play and family support for children under five with additional needs, offering structured sessions for both children and parents.

Thanks to the boys and girls at St Peter & St Paul Primary School for welcoming me on Monday. Great to see the fantastic work of their eco council, making a real difference in reducing the school’s carbon footprint, and to chat with students about life as a local MP.

I was delighted to host @heattrust.bsky.social to celebrate their 10th anniversary. Heat networks are set to play a vital role in the transition to clean heating, helping to decarbonise homes and meet our climate targets.

Astonishingly, even though we have modern, reliable alternatives to animal testing, this Labour Government has pushed through draconian legislation to restrict the right to protest outside animal testing facilities.

Just left PMQs without getting called. Yesterday, the OEP warned that the UK will miss most environmental targets by 2030. Nature is in crisis, and the watchdog needs real teeth, not just bark.

Today’s Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) report lays bare the scale of the crisis and is a deeply damning indictment of the environmental record of successive Govts.

It is totally indefensible how many critical welfare breaches occurred last year. Too many parts of our animal welfare systems are failing to protect animals, and the combined impact of these failures is devastating. stories.agtivistagency.com/revealed-uk-...

The danger those protesting in Iran face is nothing short of horrific, with hundreds killed already. The international community must stand in solidarity with the protestors and make clear the Iranian regime cannot kill and target their own citizens with impunity.

Thanks to the Park Hotel in Diss for welcoming my team and me yesterday as we plan for the year ahead. It is great to see good support for this locally owned businesses reopened in the heart of our community.

Reminder: I'm hiring a caseworker. If you can manage high volumes of queries, help resolve complex cases and advocate for individual constituents and the wider community, I want to hear from you. Join my team in Diss for four days a week. More info at www.adrianramsay.org.uk/jobs

It’s been obvious from the outset that the Government needed to review the APR threshold. It’s baffling that it took 14 months to do so. I've asked the Government if they recognise the emotional and financial cost of this 14-month delay to farmers?

Looking forward to Christmas, but it can be a hard time for those feeling lonely or grieving. On Friday I joined Norwich Soca Senior, where my late dad played, to honour members who’ve passed away this year and celebrate the friendship, wellbeing, & support the club gives older men bit.ly/3LaCgKa

We are hiring a Campaign Organiser for Waveney Valley. If you are well organised, enjoy motivating volunteers and want to help us grow the Green momentum locally, this could be for you! Application deadline 2nd Jan. More info at greenparty.org.uk/get-involved...

Much to welcome in the Animal Welfare Strategy, but it must have real teeth to deliver for animals. Ministers must set clear timescales to phase out crates and cages, properly support farmers through the transition and not allow imports that don't meet UK standards.

🚨BREAKING 🚨 Trump has put previously-agreed investment in the UK tech industry on hold. Why? Likely to strong-arm the UK into dropping taxes on US big tech firms. 🧵Here’s what you need to know about the tax Trump wants scrapped & why we need to hold firm…

Welcome news that the UK will re-join Erasmus, providing life-changing opportunities for students to study across Europe. We must continue rebuilding our relationship with Europe: secure the youth mobility scheme, re-join the customs union, and begin talks to re-join the EU.

The Government has repeatedly claimed to support nature protection. But exempting small sites from Biodiversity Net Gain risks undoing years of progress in tackling nature and biodiversity loss.

I’m often first to criticise the Govt on dentistry, but welcome this step. Easier access for urgent care and complex needs is good, but without proper contract reform and funding, NHS dentistry remains broken. Real reform is still urgently needed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. But soon there may be no turtle doves left. Their numbers have declined by 99% since the 1960s. That’s why I’m backing the RSPB's calls for proper, sustained funding for nature-friendly farming.

It was great to be at Bungay Primary School to meet Aoife in Year 5, the winner of my Christmas card competition. Her fantastic design, with beautiful and detailed drawings of animals and a lovely winter scene, will appear on my Christmas cards.

As a parent myself, I am concerned about risks posed to children and younger teenagers by social media. So I'm supportive of the new rules in Australia, though there's lots of detail to work out on how best to protect young people in the UK.

Really enjoyed my visit to NorwichCityFC to see the fantastic work they do for the community and the environment. Lovely to see the allotment and solar panels at the Colney training ground as well as the impressive facilities.

I’m hiring a caseworker. If you have experience in casework or similar work, and a passion for making a difference for individuals and the wider community, I want to hear from you. Join my team in Diss for four days a week. More info at www.adrianramsay.org.uk/jobs

Lots of energy and excitement at the @greenparty.org.uk action day in #Stowmarket today. Great to join @cllrctopping.bsky.social, @netdunning.bsky.social and @midsuffolkgreen.bsky.social councillors with party members from across Suffolk and beyond to get our positive message out.

Since 2020, three of the five worst harvests on record have hit the UK. This year, we saw the hottest and driest spring on record, then the hottest summer. Drought conditions spread across the country, resulting in the second-worst harvest since records began.

You can’t always see Crohn’s or Colitis, but 1 in 120 people in the UK live with it. Flare-ups can strike without warning, invisible to others, yet enough to disrupt daily life. #HowCrohnsFeels

Ten years ago, Storm Desmond devastated communities across the UK. A decade on, we are facing more frequent extreme weather, more floods & forest fires. Successive govts have failed to prepare, invest in fire & rescue services, & protect the people who need their support most.

In case it wasn't already obvious why Farage and his party are spreading misinformation about the climate crisis and trying to blame the most vulnerable for the problems caused by inequality - they've just received a record donation from a jet fuel multimillionaire!

The Government says it will publish the Animal Welfare Strategy by year's end. It must come out while the House is still sitting, to enable scrutiny. I have also pressed them to confirm that it will set a clear timeline to end cruel farrowing crates and cages.
