On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day. As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time. At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

My statement on today’s horrific attack on a Greater Manchester Synagogue:

🏰 Heritage crime is theft from our shared story. Great to meet Tony & Mark from Historic England today. South Norfolk is rich with historic churches & landmarks: we must protect them. Offenders must face the full force of the law, & I’ll push for better resources from the Home Office to the police.

🚍 South Norfolk Win: after I raised it with Norfolk County Council, new bus stops are being planned near Howe Lane, Brooke. Better access for residents and support for local businesses.

🚨 The Royal Society has failed a crucial test of leadership. Today they issued this mealy-mouthed response to Elon Musk’s appalling remarks calling for violence against our fellow citizens. 1/5

🚨 Justice served! A High Court ruling forces a firm linked to Tory peer Michelle Mone to repay £122m for a PPE contract breach. While some tried to profit, South Norfolk’s stood strong: NHS staff, care homes, & our young people protecting the vulnerable.

This is your vote, your choice. You the members choose your Deputy Leader. Having this conversation is not dissent, but an important conversation about how we can be better. I will be your strong independent voice.

Great to join @pippacrerar.bsky.social on @itvpeston.bsky.social to talk about my Deputy Leadership campaign. I really want this government to succeed, but we need to be clearer about whose side we’re on and in whose interests we serve. I will be a strong independent voice for members.

Back in Norfolk after Party Conference season. Last week took me from podcasts to mushroom farms to advice surgeries in Loddon. Round-up here: bengoldsborough.co.uk/news/f/from-...

We’ll be presenting our latest research on biofortification to tackle micronutrient malnutrition at #EvidenceWeek with @senseaboutsci.bsky.social – @bengoldsborough.bsky.social please join us in Parliament on 4 November for a quickfire policy briefing. buff.ly/pfyQ25K

I'll be a listening, full time Deputy Leader, ensuring the voice of our broad movement is at the heart of what we do. Join my campaign actionnetwork.org/forms/volunt...

Guardian investigation into Facebook groups with 600k members in which the kind of extreme dehumanising language that socialises racist violence is rife. Facebook has become more permissive towards extreme content in the last year. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

The latest nominations have landed showing Lucy around 100 CLPs ahead now- it’s clear her message is resonating with ordinary members across the whole country- labour.org.uk/deputy-leade...

Another full Loddon advice surgery completed. ✅ A big thank you to our wonderfully hardworking District Councillor Jeremy Rowe for joining me and supporting residents. Lots of issues chatted about including: 💧 Flooding along the Yare 🏫 SEND provision in schools ↔️ Refugees 🌍 Foreign Policy

Visited Wymondham Cemetery today to pay respects at the Commonwealth War Graves. I met Paul, a retired RAF Squadron Leader who now tends the graves by hand. His service continues in another way. Remembrance is every day, not just November.

Democracy isn’t self-defending. It needs us to stand up for it. I’ve written for the @futuregovforum.bsky.social's new report: The Future of Asylum – A Vision for Renewal. 👉 www.futuregovernanceforum.co.uk/resource/the... 1/4

This from Lucy Powell is the strongest articulation I've seen yet of the way Labour can take on Farage www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚧 Tory Norfolk County Council at it again: “repairing” potholes on Norwich Rd, Morningthorpe… by tarring the grass verge. Good news for ants, bad news for drivers. 🐜 £56m of your taxes meant for roads: how much is being sprayed away?

Grateful to Langley School for having me today. Great to see the new Bluebell Nursery making full use of the Government’s scheme so families across South Norfolk can access early years education.

I’m not going to share the absolute rubbish from Reform’s Nigel Farage as it’s dangerous. Importing the anti-science agenda from the United States of America to the UK demonstrates that Farage does not care about the health or wealth of our nation but only his friendship with President Trump. 1/2

🍄 Spent the morning with Tas Valley Mushrooms in Flordon after Tim wrote to me about challenges and opportunities facing his business. We talked renewables, the end of Producer Org schemes, & future growth. I’ll now push for a debate + raise these issues with the minister.

Game changer for human health and science: and it’s happening right here in South Norfolk. 🌱🔬 1/4 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Delighted to receive the unanimous backing of the CWU Union NEC to be the next Labour Deputy Leader. I've worked closely together with the CWU for many years supporting their brilliant members doing their important work. I will be a much-needed conduit between our unions and Party.

Really valued my quarterly catch-up with Norfolk PCC Sarah Taylor on policing in South Norfolk. Talked rural road safety (survey still open: www.surveymonkey.com/r/SouthNorfo... ), plus community cohesion, youth engagement & LGBT+ support. Important work ahead.

I see that Reform UK have said they will completely scrap Indefinite Leave to Remain for all migrants. On the 8th September I lead a debate on this and Reform didn’t even bother to speak. 1/5 hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2025...

From Parliament to the plough 🚜 Last week I raised shopworker safety, backed our schools, met recovery champions, drove a tractor & more. Full weekly round-up 👉 bengoldsborough.co.uk/f/from-parli...

Disability Labour members vote to nominate @lucympowell.bsky.social for the Labour Party Deputy Leadership Election The result of our member ballot- Lucy Powell - 60.1% Bridget Phillipson - 22.8%   No nomination should be made - 17.1%

I’m standing to be a full-time Deputy Leader of the Labour Party so I can focus on bridging our membership, communities and leadership. More and more people are supporting my hopeful vision for change. Join my campaign here actionnetwork.org/forms/volunt...

Coffee, cake, and conversation: I’ll be at the Costessey Centre on Sat 4 Oct, 10am–12pm. Free, open to all, no booking needed. Hope to see you there! ☕🍰

Elon Musk is pushing a dangerous far-right ideology into the UK: using his platforms to poison our public debate. This isn’t free speech. It’s manipulation. 1/6 Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Do...

I really want this government to succeed, but despite early achievements, we aren’t being heard. I would be a strong independent choice for Deputy Leader, working full time, championing our movement and government. My article for the Sunday Mirror www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Labour is at its best when we are clear about whose side we are on, and in whose interests we serve, when our values shine through. I want us to be clear that our objective is to lift children out of poverty and that will mean we need to lift the 2 child benefit cap www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

🚜 Dream come true at Friars Farm: had a go in the New Holland (thanks to David’s 40 years of wisdom). Not sure I’ll be trusted to drill next year’s crop! Then down to business: IHT, SFI’s future, & the EA blocking farmers. Grateful to Will & the NFU for keeping me close to our farming community.

Great to catch up with Peter and Val from the Hamptons Neighbourhood Watch team, and with Kitty and her family, the founders of Hamptons Hedgehogs, at the Costessey Fete. Wonderful to see community spirit in action.

Wymondham buses aren’t working for residents: late, missed stops, unsafe crossings. I’m raising it with the bus companies. 📧 Share your experience: [email protected] ✍️ Sign Angela’s petition: www.change.org/p/safe-cross...

One year as MP for South Norfolk. Proud of the progress: £370k back into locals’ pockets, £200m for Thickthorn, funding for Wymondham Station, free breakfasts in schools. A strong start—so much more to do. 🌹 youtu.be/JzcbKqEJI48?...

Lovely to join Wymondham Bridewell WI for their Macmillan Coffee Morning ☕🍰 Huge thanks to Kate Gaskin & the branch for the welcome. Many members are ex-police or married to officers & raised concerns about the widows pension scheme. I’ll be speaking to the minister on their behalf.

🚪 Taking politics to your doorstep. Great conversations in Hapton today on farms, road safety, SEN and the Tasway Energy Scheme. Thank you to everyone who came to the door – looking forward to the next street surgery! youtu.be/AXxDpeUE-0s

9 in 10 cases of melanoma are preventable. I met Melanoma Focus to discuss how the Cancer Strategy can reflect that reality, & how we can learn from Ireland tackling the sunbed industry. As a Stage 2C melanoma patient, I know why a national awareness campaign is vital.

Tomorrow. 19:00. A year in South Norfolk, told straight. Tune in. 🌹

A resident’s UC was wrongly stopped after losing their partner. I stepped in & got it reinstated with a £780.92 back payment. If you need help with issues like this, email me: [email protected]

Speaking to Nick Robinson for Political Thinking on why I’m standing to be a full time Deputy Leader - being clear about whose side we are on, being a bridge between the movement & leadership, lifting the two child limit, the atrocities in Gaza and telling a unifying story 👇

Great to sit down with headteachers from Norfolk today to talk about the future of education in our communities. A real pleasure catching up with Mrs Arnold (Framingham Earl High) and Mrs Balado (Thurlton Primary). Their insights will shape how I fight for our schools in Parliament.

🆕 New £644K Microbiome Innovation Network to drive UK Bioscience Research and impact health, food and environments.

The EHRC needs stronger enforcement. It’s time for them to put their big boy boots on, properly investigate these platforms, and hold them to account. 1/5 www.politicshome.com/news/article...

🛍️ Shopworkers deserve protection. As a former Deputy Store Manager for Halfords, I know the fear shoplifting causes. Govt is scrapping the £200 threshold for shop theft: making clear that stealing from shops will not be tolerated. youtu.be/m5Z1zBYSqc8 @usdawunion.bsky.social
