Tommy Robinson is welcomed to Israel by a government minister. I’m banned. I’m a British Jew and a member of the Board of Deputies. Israel needs to ask itself: who are its allies, and what message does this send?

A haunting piece of Suffolk history comes to life this week at Moyse’s Hall, as Conservatoire East students perform The Ballad of Maria Marten. A sensitive retelling of a tragic local story and a wonderful showcase of talent from West Suffolk College! 🎭 suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmu...

October half-term is a great time to get out and explore what’s on our doorstep! 🍎 The Food Museum in Stowmarket is hosting Apple Week, with apple pressing, crumble-making, crafts, tastings and orchard walks for the whole family. foodmuseum.org.uk/events/apple...

Huge thank you to the team who were out in Barningham today letting residents know about the Meet Your MP event this Thursday!

"Go home” isn’t a policy - it’s a racist chant. People who are legally living in Britain should never be told they don’t belong.

Just arrived at Adastral Park for The Suffolk Convention 2 - great to be here with business leaders and key stakeholders from across Suffolk. Looking forward to a productive morning of discussion and ideas for our county.

Met the brilliant School Council at Stanton Primary on Friday - full of ideas, confidence, and kindness. Even the school therapy dog seemed to be listening intently. Thank you all for such a warm welcome and a great tour!

Wishing Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and everyone celebrating across Britain - including here in Bury St Edmunds & Stowmarket - a joyful Diwali!

Great visit to West Suffolk Hospital today to meet with the Chief Executive and hear the latest on the new hospital programme. The team is working hard to deliver modern, high-quality facilities for patients and staff. #NHS

Statement from Dr Peter Prinsley MP on the release of the remaining hostages and the need for lasting peace in the Middle East:

A proud moment for our region 🚆 Greater Anglia is now in public ownership - continuing to deliver high-quality services and helping connect communities, boost growth, and put passengers at the heart of our rail network.

Brilliant to see our West Suffolk College university graduates celebrating their graduation in the Cathedral today - we’re all so proud of them!

Delighted to be at the West Suffolk Business Awards this evening at The Apex in Bury St Edmunds - celebrating the innovation and community spirit of our local businesses. Great night recognising those driving growth across our area! #WestSuffolkBusinessAwards

Had a brilliant visit to Abbots Hall Primary Academy last week - I was impressed by the students’ ideas for new laws, from banning plastics to tackling littering. Some of their other suggestions might be a little harder to achieve… like a three-day school week or capping the price of a Freddo! 🍫

Great turnout in Elmswell last night - over 50 residents joined to discuss a range of topics, including railways, devolution, housing, and farming! Thanks to everyone who came along - I'm looking forward to the next one later this month in Barningham!

Terrible news from Manchester today. To see a synagogue attacked on Yom Kippur, our holiest day, is shocking. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the Jewish community. I'm grateful to the emergency services for their swift response.

Excitement building here in the Conference Hall ahead of the Prime Minister’s speech. Just over a year into government, looking forward to hearing how Labour will continue delivering for Britain. Watch live here: www.youtube.com/live/m_hys4Y...

Why I support the UK government’s decision to recognise a State of Palestine. Here's my piece in the Jewish Chronicle - read it here. 👇 www.thejc.com/opinion/why-...

Let’s be clear: no reliable study shows paracetamol causes autism. Many worry because of recent claims, but scientific consensus still rejects a causal link. We should base policy and health advice on solid evidence. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

London really does have everything… even a little bit of Bury St Edmunds at Liverpool Street! The Railway Tavern – a Greene King pub, newly renovated and looking fantastic!

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, starts this evening. It offers the chance to pause, and reflect on the year gone by. Families like mine come together to eat sweet foods, in the hope of a sweet year ahead. Wishing a peaceful Rosh Hashanah to all celebrating. Shana Tova!

Great to see the NHS #BeWellBus in Stowmarket today! Claire and her team are at the marketplace until 14:30 offering free health checks and wellbeing support. Pop along if you can!

Fantastic to meet Nick Mackenzie, CEO of Greene King, to discuss how the Government can support pubs. Greene King are a brilliant company right at the heart of Bury St Edmunds, and I'll continue championing them in Parliament.

When he should have been in Parliament, Nigel Farage was in the USA arguing for trade sanctions on Britain. Talking our country down, and pushing for higher prices. How unpatriotic. I raised this Point of Order in Parliament.👇

Equipping young people with real-world skills is vital for a strong economy, as well as a safer country. Delighted to have backed our excellent West Suffolk College to secure Government recognition as a Technical Excellence College.
