The first tool of those who wish to destroy democracy is to attack its very principles. Let’s be clear: Gorton & Denton was a free & fair election where the Green Party won. A democrat congratulates their opponent & moves on. Farage & Reform U.K. are the Orban’s & Trump’s of Britain.

You asked me to speak on Brexit. I listened. Thank you to everyone who emailed me about the debate on 24 February. It was oversubscribed so I could not speak, but my view is clear: a closer relationship with Europe is vital for South Norfolk’s farmers, scientists, manufacturers and tourism.

Thank you to everyone who attended today’s coffee morning in The Willow Centre, Cringleford. So many of you turned up that we overran by nearly an hour! A shout out to Cllr Deborah Sacks for supporting residents as well at the coffee morning.

Flooding under the railway bridge in Hapton? A resident alerted me to the problem. I contacted the highways team, and that same week the drains between The Mill and Valley Farm, including under the bridge, were jetted and cleared. Action taken. Problem solved. You ask. I act. We win.

I spoke with Roz Bird about the new Hawkmoth Building at Norwich Research Park, powered by publicly funded science and UKRI support. This is how we create jobs, attract global companies, and prove our area leads the world in science and innovation. youtu.be/D3zAND_soUA

Flood warning: Long Stratton cannot wait. This week I brought Anglian Water and Norfolk County Council to Manor Court with residents still scarred by 2020. Local people have done their bit. Now the Swan Lane relief pipe must be upgraded. I will push Ministers for action before it floods again.

Education should be a joy, not a battle: help me fix SEND in South Norfolk. The new Education White Paper is a chance to deliver real reform, but I need your voice. 1/2 youtu.be/YkCjyt0jL8M

Our GPs are going further: This morning I visited the Cringleford Humbleyard Practice to hear how Dr Dhorajiwala & his team are improving outcomes & tackling root causes of ill health. With the right tools & investment, they can deliver even more. Now pushing to open the new surgery in Hethersett.

Policy isn't like ordering from Amazon, you can't have good policy with next day delivery. I think our electorate has become impatient and we need more of this type of content. #UKpolitucs

Foot and Mouth: 25 years on, we must never be complacent. The £8bn crisis, highlighted by the National Audit Office, devastated rural Britain. With new threats emerging, we must protect farmers in South Norfolk. Biosecurity is national security.

What people do not see: real change happens behind closed doors. Policy is shaped over months through trust and relationships. My conversations with @sarahsackman.bsky.social have helped put South Norfolk front & centre in justice improvements. youtube.com/shorts/Doj-J...

Congratulations to Tom Bradshaw on being re-elected as President of the NFU. It’s been a pleasure to work hand in glove with Tom since I was elected the MP for South Norfolk. I look forward to what more we can achieve together on farming profitability and resilience in the months to come.

Rupert Lowe’s actions & words are contemptible. This is racism. We know he is getting paid by Elon Musk for this rhetoric & it is poisoning the political discourse in UK & particularly Norfolk. Lowe is the neighbouring MP to South Norfolk & I’m already seeing the impact of this online.

Energy bills falling: real progress. The energy price cap is down 7% from April, with around £117 off bills due to the Budget. The cost of living is still the biggest challenge & I will keep pushing for lower energy costs for families. www.ofgem.gov.uk/news/changes...

We may not be coastal in South Norfolk but we are definitely rural. A lot of amazing tech startups in our neck of the woods. Maybe have a chat with Zoë?

The veterinary sector is at breaking point. Since Brexit, we've seen a 68% drop in vets from the EU coming to the UK. Those vacancies haven't been replaced by UK talent & the threat to shut down this important course would've made matters worse. This is welcomed news. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Safety & rural livelihoods are not opposites. People expect us to get this right. That means putting safety first, respecting lawful rural activity, & acting on evidence. Good legislation strengthens public safety and public trust. We must approach these decisions with care & responsibility.

Four years on: Ukraine still stands. When Vladimir Putin launched his illegal invasion, the Kremlin believed Ukraine would fall in days. Four years later, I honour their courage and integrity. Their fight for freedom and democracy inspires us all.

Attention South Norfolk! Join me for coffee & cake this Saturday. My Coffee Morning is a relaxed chance to meet, chat & share what matters to you. Saturday 28 February, 10am to 12 noon at the Willow Centre in Cringleford. All welcome. I hope to see you there. No need to book. Just drop in!

Safety & the rural economy are not opposites. In yesterday’s debate on firearms licensing, I argued for balance. Protect lawful shooting & rural jobs. Strengthen safeguards on domestic abuse & mental health. Modernise outdated laws. Evidence over ideology. Responsibility first. youtu.be/52Al9HbOJzg

Labour is rising to the generational challenge of properly supporting children with SEND. We will set out our vision and ambition for a schools system where every child can achieve and thrive. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Serious questions for The Green Party to answer here.

On BBC Radio Norfolk I pointed out how Norfolk Conservatives cannot dodge accountability or walk away from reorganisation and devolution. Their grandstanding puts at risk £1bn for Norfolk over the next 30 years. Norfolk deserves a stronger future, not political games from the Tories.

A Reform UK leader took Russian bribes and is now in prison. £40,000 was enough to betray Britain. This is not a smear, it is a conviction. If you still think Reform are patriots, ask who they really serve. Our democracy must never be for sale.

Did me and Timo speak too soon about how Spring had sprung yesterday… ❄️ 🤦‍♂️🐕

Russia is flooding Britain with disinformation to divide us and drive us to extremes. Experts say we are on the front line of an information war. While they use digital weapons, our response is still analogue. This is an urgent national security threat.

Good housing starts with listening. Thank you to Jessica, Barbara and Joe from Orbit Housing Association for walking me around their homes in The Hampdens. We discussed improving customer service and flagged repairs in Archilles Drive. I appreciate their commitment to tenants.

Huge thanks to Jenny and the brilliant volunteers at Loddon’s Vickie's Parkinson's Charity Shop for inviting me to see their amazing work. I could not resist a bargain that brought back memories of my grandad’s biscuit barrel. Nearly £250,000 raised, pop down and support this Aladdin’s cave!

Plates today, planning tomorrow. Finished my Trowse advice surgery talking new build enforcement, policing & protecting our archaeological sites across South Norfolk. If you need a hand, don't be a stranger. Drop me a message. Now, back to the washing up. Glamorous life, eh? youtu.be/bRYvGw-WzH0

Visited Clinks Care Farm in Toft Monks today, a 143 acre social enterprise caring for land & people. I mucked out the goats and can confirm they are far less stubborn than some politicians. Huge thanks to Iris, Doeke and the volunteers doing brilliant work for our community. clinkscarefarm.org.uk

Boris Johnson met a former KGB officers son without officials after a NATO summit. Ignored security warnings. Then gave him a seat in the House of Lords. We were told to just trust him. This is not normal. These questions still demand answers.

On Monday, I led the debate on Russian influence on British politics. There are a number of changes in law I hope are included in this bill: ❌ Banning cryptocurrency donations ❌ Ensuring ALL Think Tanks declare their funding ❌ Strengthening independence of Electoral Commission And much, much more.

Kick It Out, the anti-racism charity, say the language used by Man United's co-owner that Britain has been "colonised" by immigrants should have no place in football. They note he was wildly inaccurate in his factual claims too.

Tell you what “Sir Jim”, when you stop being a resident of Monaco for tax purposes and actually contribute to the U.K’s schools, hospitals, and defence we will start listening to you. Oh, and stop spouting utter rubbish on migration.

Our democracy is not abstract. It is our values, our freedoms and our future. Foreign states, like Russia, are testing our defences and exploiting our divisions. We must get real, act fast and defend what we love about this country. Complacency is not an option. youtube.com/shorts/n0sDf...

𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝. This week, Jimmy Lai was sentenced to 20 years for standing up for democracy. I spoke in Parliament at The Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation Lunar New Year event to stand with Hong Kongers & say clearly: we will not look away.

@channel4news.bsky.social proves why our democracy is at risk. Brilliant reporting unmasked the man behind the satirical AI-generated Crewkerne Gazette as a convicted far-right racist, exposing how AI can be weaponised in politics. We cannot ignore this. www.channel4.com/news/unmaske...

💷 Reform UK took Russian money. 🚨 Their former Welsh leader is in prison for Kremlin bribes. 🗳️ Brexit was targeted by Russian interference. This is proven, not theory. Selling out Britain is not patriotism. It is betrayal. Our democracy deserves better. Find out more👇 youtu.be/2aIFYLOJmKM

No Reform UK MPs turned up for today’s debate. Tomorrow I’ll post my full speech which focused on: ❌ Russian involvement in Brexit referendum ❌ Boris Johnson’s appointment of Lebedev ❌ Cryptocurrency in British politics ❌ Helping Brits identify misinformation on social media

Flooding is not abstract in Norfolk. New pumps, better drainage and real partnership matter. Farmers do huge amounts to protect homes and roads, often for free and without thanks. We need to back them and stop building where flooding is inevitable. youtu.be/YUQgYyfz_A8

Can you guess where I am? Spooner Row station! A vital weekday train was cut after Christmas, so I raised it with Greater Anglia and Network Rail. From Monday 9 February the 5.27pm Norwich to Spooner Row service is back. Small stations matter. youtu.be/C6uL5z_oGxo

Cancelling local elections is a big deal. After one delay already, Norfolk deserved clarity not chaos. Councils that asked for elections got them. Norfolk Tories could not make up their minds and everyone has paid the price. Democracy should not be this messy. youtu.be/eCoqaNZGDcA

Interesting article & wholeheartedly agree that improvements in standards are desperately needed. However, when it comes to Lords reform I’m always concerned that MPs are focused on how it’s made up instead of what it does. 🤓 Nerd thread warning! observer.co.uk/news/politic...

An important test for the authorities responsible for policing our electoral law. Well done to excellent local journalism from @manchestermill.bsky.social for breaking this story. 👏
