This Government is taking steps to ease the pressure on household finances. Support like this will make a real difference to families across Bury St Edmunds & Stowmarket. Here’s a look at the cost of living help coming into force this April. 👇 #CostOfLiving

One train an hour, and no direct link to London. That’s not good enough for Bury St Edmunds. I raised this in Parliament - improvements are coming, and I’ll keep pushing for more! 🚂

Clean energy in every new home. Lower bills. Greater energy security. A better future. The right direction for our country. 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today, the Government has announced that Suffolk will move to three unitary councils. This keeps decisions local and delivers real benefits for our communities. Thank you to everyone who worked across the debate to get us here. 👇

As a Jewish MP, I stand firmly with our community against antisemitism. We will not be intimidated. #StandAgainstAntisemitism

Potholes shouldn’t be a daily hazard. Even I’ve been caught out. The good news? Record government investment is finally going into fixing our roads - and it’s long overdue. Now it’s about delivery. #FixOurRoads

As an ENT surgeon, I saw the devastating impact of smoking firsthand. This generational ban will save lives and protect future generations. Nigel Farage is wrong. #PublicHealth www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03...

Today, I asked the Defence Secretary how we’re strengthening protection against missile threats here in the UK. He confirmed an extra £1bn investment in UK air defence - a welcome step. Keeping people safe must always come first.

Antisemitism has no place in our country. Targeting life-saving ambulances is an attack on all of us. We stand with the Jewish community. #StandAgainstAntisemitism

Please see below my statement regarding the serious incident in Mortimer Road. My thoughts are with the victim and their loved ones during this time. If you have any information, please call 101.

Here's a brief overview of some of the things I have been doing this week across the constituency and in Parliament! 👇

I’ve been calling for stronger support for the BBC World Service since entering Parliament, so this funding boost is a really welcome step forward! In a world of growing disinformation, backing trusted, independent journalism has never been more important. #BBCWorldService

At this pace, it would take over 20 years to get through all the amendments. That’s not scrutiny - that’s filibustering. 👇 #AssistedDying #HouseOfLords #Politics

The Government’s changes to the criminal justice system are welcome. Now let’s ensure our magistrates reflect the communities they serve. 👇 #Justice #Magistrates #Courts #Law

The Shadow Justice Secretary’s comments are unacceptable and risk fuelling division - we must stand firmly for respect, tolerance, and the right to practise one’s faith freely. 👇 #StandUpToHate

Speaking in Westminster Hall on Royal Mail - the postal service in this country must remain an obligation, not an option. Residents in rural areas, including Thurston, have raised real concerns about ad hoc deliveries and unreliable service. It’s time this was taken seriously. #RoyalMail

Yesterday, I spoke in the House to extend my condolences to the families of US service personnel following last week’s tragic incident. Our local community has strong ties to RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall, and we stand closely with our American allies at this difficult time. #MiddleEast

This Labour Government is delivering real skills and opportunities for young people - and here in Bury St Edmunds, our new Construction Technical Excellence College will help lead the way! #Skills #Construction #CTEC www.constructionenquirer.com/2026/03/17/o...

My thoughts are with those affected by the meningitis outbreak in Kent. There is no immediate wider risk, but please stay alert to symptoms and seek medical advice if needed. #Meningitis #PublicHealth #NHS

Yesterday, I spoke in the House to extend my condolences to the families of US service personnel following last week’s tragic incident. Our communities have strong ties to RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall, and we stand closely with our American allies at this difficult time.

Dr Jonathan Broad is absolutely right - the current SEND system is too slow, too adversarial, and not working for families. Labour’s reforms are a positive step toward earlier support, stronger mainstream provision, and a more inclusive system that puts children’s needs first.

Households in rural communities should not be left behind when energy prices rise. The Government’s £53m support package will help vulnerable households facing soaring heating oil costs, with funding distributed to those most in need. #CostOfLiving www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Here's a brief overview of some of the things I have been doing this week across the constituency and in Parliament! 👇

Bury St Edmunds named the UK’s friendliest town - and I’m not surprised! A wonderful community, fantastic independent businesses, and a beautiful historic town at the heart of Suffolk. If you haven’t visited yet, you’re always welcome here!

I’ve had a lot of people get in touch with concerns about heating oil orders. Today, we contacted Goff Petroleum, who confirmed they will honour the original prices for orders placed on 28 Feb and 1–2 March. If you have any issues, please contact them on 01953 713555.

Thank you to everyone who came along to my Meet Your MP event this evening in Stowmarket. We had a great discussion on a range of local issues, including potholes, rural transport, and access to higher education. Always good to hear directly from residents about the issues that matter most!

Waiting lists are moving in the right direction. They fell by 43,000 in January, meaning the NHS waiting list has now dropped by more than 370,000 since July 2024. Expanded surgical hubs, Community Diagnostic Centres and more evening and weekend clinics are helping patients get treated faster.

Pleasure to attend the parliamentary launch of Honoured by Naz Shah today in Parliament. Naz’s powerful and deeply personal account reflects on identity, resilience, and public service, and it was a privilege to receive a signed copy. I look forward to reading it!

Seats in Parliament shouldn’t be inherited. Ending hereditary peers is long overdue and a win for democracy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great to see Ixworth Village Hall securing £7,500 from West Suffolk Council to create a new community café. Village halls are at the heart of rural communities - bringing people together and supporting local life. ☕🏡 www.suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmu...

Here's a brief overview of some of the things I have been doing this week across the constituency and in Parliament! 👇

On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the achievements and contributions of women and recognise the work still needed to achieve true equality. Thank you to the women who lead, care, campaign and inspire every day.

Great to catch up with Nikos Savvas from the Eastern Education Group at Abbeygate Sixth Form today! We discussed higher education provision, student transport, and the work his team is doing to improve SEND support across Suffolk.

As World Book Day draws to a close, it’s a good moment to reflect on the value of a good book. At the moment I’m reading Alan Johnson’s biography of Harold Wilson. What are you reading at the moment? I’d love to hear people’s recommendations! 📚

In Parliament today, I raised a question on the River Gipping. A Stowmarket resident showed me photographs spanning 50 years - from a clear, navigable river full of fish to one now choked with debris and neglect. Our rivers deserve better. We must reverse the damage and clean up our waterways.

Transparency matters when it comes to local government reorganisation. Residents deserve an open and honest conversation about what structure will best serve communities across Suffolk. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I want to share an update on the situation in the Middle East, including the UK’s position and the steps being taken to protect British nationals and our service personnel. You can read the full statement here: www.peterprinsley.org/news/situati...

Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, with Mr Speaker. A strong reminder that cooperation matters - and that we can do so much better together.

People across Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket are missing hospital letters, bank documents and time-sensitive post because letter deliveries are failing. Royal Mail bosses being called to Parliament is the right step - residents deserve reliability, not excuses. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The government’s £200 million SEND training investment is a welcome step that will make a difference for pupils and families. Credit to our constituency manager Tom Howard, whose tireless campaigning and commitment to neurodiversity helped drive change! www.suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmu...

Good news for households, with energy bills set to fall from April. After a long period of high costs, this will bring real relief for many families and shows progress in tackling the cost of living. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ukraine’s courage has exposed the lie at the heart of Putin’s aggression. Four years on, this remains a fight for democracy, freedom, and the rule of law - and the UK must stay resolute in standing with Ukraine.👇

First day back after recess and an important issue to raise. Today, I spoke about the pressure interfaith groups are under and the vital role they play in restoring community cohesion. I welcomed the Minister’s clear commitment to supporting this work.

Good to see the UK record a January budget surplus, with borrowing falling and inflation continuing to ease. Sound public finances matter because they create the space to invest in priorities like schools, policing and the NHS. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great to see Bury St Edmunds’ first cancer support group launch at the Newbury Community Centre. A welcoming, free space for anyone affected by cancer. Thanks to Macmillan, Cancer Support Suffolk and the volunteers behind it.

Really welcome news for Bury St Edmunds! This new SEND school and centre of excellence will give young people aged 14–19 the specialist support they deserve, and help strengthen inclusive practice across our local schools. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thank you to everyone who came along to the Meet Your MP event in Thurston last Thursday. It's great to hear directly from residents on a range of issues, from potholes and traffic calming measures to freehold maintenance charges. These conversations help inform my work locally and in Parliament.

Happy Pancake Day! 🥞 There are lots of great places to enjoy pancakes across Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket - including Petite Pancakes, just opposite the constituency office!
