South Norfolk’s waterways matter. Thank you to the Environment Agency for a productive discussion on flooding, river management and investment across the Yare and Tas. Protecting lives and livelihoods from climate driven weather extremes must remain a priority.

Great things are growing in Hethersett 🌳 A huge thank you to the amazing volunteers at Hethersett Environment Action Team for the unveiling of the Pocket Forest Lectern & celebrating 800 new trees planted behind the village hall. Honoured to help bury a time capsule for 2050 with Cllr Ben Weston!

SOUTH NORFOLK WIN: After years of hardship, a South Norfolk resident is finally moving into a fully accessible adapted bungalow that meets their needs. Proud to have helped push things forward through housing advocacy and wider support. You ask. I act. We win. #SouthNorfolkWin

Fab to pop along to the Little Melton Primary May Fair today. 🐀 Splat the rat is always a village fete favourite & definitely one of mine. With cakes, bakes, booze and BBQ I can think of nowhere better to be today! Open until 3pm so don’t miss out!

Maybe Nigel Farage could use the £5m he was given by a crypto-billionaire based in Thailand to pay Norfolk Reform’s legal fees instead of South Norfolk taxpayers? 🤔 www.edp24.co.uk/news/2610953...

⚽ Grassroots football matters. Yesterday I met with the Long Stratton FC to talk about how we can help take the club to the next level. Their success on the pitch this season comes from a real commitment to grassroots football and community spirit.

🚉 Haddiscoe station matters too. I’m delighted Greater Anglia’s new timetable will bring an hourly Norwich to Lowestoft service to Haddiscoe, improving connections for villages across South East South Norfolk. I’ll always fight for our rural communities. Listen. Act. Deliver.

I will never get bored of saying this: the team at the @quadraminstitute.bsky.social are epic! The Vital-D study is truly inspiring: seeing what we can achieve with precision breeding & improving health outcomes. Plus creating really tasty tomato soup!! 🥫

🚧 Traffic. ⚽ Sports facilities. 📚 SEND support. These were just some of the issues raised with me at today’s Street Surgery in Wymondham. Thank you to everyone who stopped for a chat. These conversations help me take local concerns directly into my work as your MP.

🚀 Norfolk’s gaming sector is a creative powerhouse. Great to meet Robin Milton, Founder of Fairer Games, to discuss how we back the 500 developers driving innovation across our county. Norfolk Game Developers are doing extraordinary work championing the sector. Now we need to turbo charge growth.

🚑 NHS waiting lists are DOWN by 110,000 in March. Outside Covid, that’s the biggest monthly drop since 2008. And despite strikes, the NHS still hit its electives target. Progress through partnership and hard work.

🚨 South Norfolk students: this is your sign to get involved in politics 👀 I’m launching my first ever Summer School this July at for Years 11 to 13. Learn how Parliament actually works, meet guest speakers, build your own campaign & gain real experience. 📧 [email protected]

My statement regarding the Prime Minister.

📍Rural Labour means showing up. Today I joined Cllr Jeremy Rowe for our advice surgery at Loddon Library, helping residents with issues from flood protection on the Yare to firearms licensing and NHS reform. We do not just turn up at election time. We work for South Norfolk all year round.

I interrupt your breakfast with news that Saiqa Ali, one of the two Green Party candidates in #Lambeth who was arrested on suspicion of stirring racial hatred and (apparently) suspended has been elected to the council.

A real milestone for Hethersett and for South Norfolk. Huge congratulations to the brilliant Ben Weston on becoming the first ever Labour County Councillor elected in South Norfolk, winning Hethersett Division. 1/8

🚨 Banking is back on Wymondham High Street. A real honour to cut the ribbon on the new Banking Hub today. All of the big five banks will now operate from one town centre location, making a vital difference for residents and businesses alike. And next: getting Wymondham a proper Post Office back.

South Norfolk Win: A family waited too long for a blue badge their child needed. I stepped in and got it sorted. When systems stall, we fix them. Proud to stand up for local people and get results where it matters.

🚨 Timo has an important message: don’t paws before voting 🐾 Polls are open until 10pm today. Remember to take your photo ID & vote Labour. We’ve achieved so much together in South Norfolk in just 22 months. Imagine how much more we could do with councillors working with me, not blocking progress.

Today’s the day. A message from Cllr Jeremy Rowe to everyone in Loddon division: thank you for your kindness, community spirit and care for one another. Let’s build on it together. Vote local. Vote Labour. Vote Jeremy Rowe. A champion who stands up, not by.

Tomorrow those living in Hethersett Ward get to vote for change. I hope you’ve seen what a difference I’ve made as your first Labour MP since 1950: just imagine what more we can do with a Labour councillor rooted in the community. Tomorrow vote local. Vote Labour. Vote Ben Weston.

💷 You could have £2,000 sitting there without realising. Thousands of young people have unclaimed Child Trust Funds waiting for them. If you were born between 2002 and 2011, it takes minutes to check 👇 www.gov.uk/find-child-t... Please share so no one in South Norfolk misses out.

May the 4th be with you. Please support Finnbars Force, a South Norfolk children’s cancer charity bringing hope to families. Join the light side and donate today: www.givengain.com/campaign/sup... Do not let the dark side win. #Starwarsday #Supporttheforce

Game changing news: a new one minute immunotherapy jab will save cancer patients hours in hospital. Having completed my own treatment with pembrolizumab this Easter, I know what that time means. This is how we get the NHS back on its feet. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

A hall built for 25 years, still serving after 112: what a legacy! Proud to open the refurbished Ketteringham Village Hall today. A huge community effort to preserve its history while making it fit for the future. Thank you to everyone who made it possible.

Second session today in Hingham division, which rather oddly includes southern parts of Wymondham. Great to be out with Debbie Rowden, hearing directly from residents and having proper conversations about what matters most.

Great start to the day in Wymondham with our brilliant candidate Lowell Doheny. Really positive conversations on NHS dentistry in Norfolk, including the new dental school and wider investment in public services. Good to hear what matters most to people locally.

This is happening in Norfolk. The extremes of the Far Right and Far Left believe now is their time. What once would be hidden in the shadows of our society are now on the streets. We must unite against hatred.

Well, that's certainly one way for the Green Party in one of the UK's largest cities to respond to a series of attacks against the Jewish community, of which Wednesday's stabbing attack was just the latest. Not even pretending it's about Israel now, are they?

Protest is a fundamental right, but division and antisemitism have no place on our streets. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Renters: your rights just got stronger. From today (1st May), 5,324 renters in South Norfolk will benefit from stronger protections: ending bidding wars, scrapping no fault evictions, capping upfront rent, and giving more security including for pet owners.

I have struggled to find the right words after Golders Green. The easy route is a bland statement. The harder truth is this: ambient antisemitism has been allowed to grow. I have written to Norfolk’s Chief Constable. We must act, not just speak.

Britain belongs to all of us — and we all have a responsibility to stand firmly against antisemitism, wherever it appears. #StandTogether #NoToAntisemitism #Unity #Community #Equality #InclusiveBritain

THREAD 🧵 Nigel Farage was secretly given £5m by crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne in 2024. That’s on top of the £22m Harborne has donated to Reform UK that we know about. This raises major red flags 🚩.

I could live to be a thousand years old and not understand how people do not understand that the logic of 'blowback' only motivates you to do something if you are *already* racist.

Today in Brexit Britain you are being asked to believe that a Thailand-based cryptocurrency tycoon secretly gave Nigel Farage - the person, not his party - five million pounds without any hope or expectation of getting anything in return.

🚧 Enough is enough: roadworks are hurting our high streets. I spoke to Greatest Hits Radio about why the law must change so utility companies compensate businesses when works hit trade. Local firms deserve fairness, not losses. www.hellorayo.co.uk/greatest-hit...

Urgent Message from the Minister: Fly tipping is now a crime with real consequences. New laws mean more fines, CCTV, and even vehicle seizures for repeat offenders. I backed this in Parliament and we are giving councils the tools to clean up South Norfolk. youtube.com/shorts/Rk1r7...

#ICYMI: St George’s Day in Wymondham: community and history at its best 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Great to join residents for a brilliant tour from the Market Cross to the Bridewell, led by the fantastic Georgette. Huge thanks to everyone who took part and to the organisers for making it happen. 📸 Sue Day

Costessey: yesterday I joined Jenny McCloskey, our fab Labour candidate, speaking with residents about what matters most. From immigration to welfare to our roads, we listened. Others post leaflets, we knock doors. On 7th May vote local. Vote Labour. Vote Jenny McCloskey.

Big truth: the climate and nature emergency is already reshaping Britain. Thank you to Sustainable Wymondham for hosting the People’s Emergency Briefing, bringing communities together to hear the evidence and act. We must protect Net Zero, boost renewables and restore nature.

Estate management fees are a scandal. Residents across South Norfolk are being hit with rising charges, hidden costs and unexplained overspends. You should not pay a second tax just to live in your own home. If this is happening to you & you live in South Norfolk, email me. I will take it up.

I’m demanding action. I’ve written to Reform UK calling for Karl Catchpole, Chair of South Norfolk Reform, to be expelled. He has praised Enoch Powell, defended Tommy Robinson and shared racist rhetoric about David Lammy: this is unacceptable. South Norfolk deserves better leadership.

The Chair of #Reform in South Norfolk must be suspended. Praising Enoch Powell, defending Tommy Robinson, and sharing racist conspiracy rhetoric about David Lammy is unacceptable. Leadership matters. South Norfolk deserves better. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/23/i...

Young voices leading the way on local change. Great to visit Easton College and see students tackling litter in Bawburgh, an issue raised by residents. Their presentation on community work was impressive, followed by thoughtful questions in our Q&A.

Saint George’s Day: it’s not about the clichés. Out walking with Timo today and thinking about what this day really means. For me, it’s simple: check in on your neighbour, celebrate our differences and do your bit locally. That’s how we build a happier Norfolk. 🌿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
