I have written to Suffolk County Council to ensure they postpone all non-emergency works in Ipswich during the repairs to the Orwell Bridge. This includes the planned schemes on Nacton Road, Woodbridge Road and the Hospital to Waterfront route.

I was proud to support a 6.7% pay rise for 1000s of social care workers. Our Government will go further: the Employment Rights Bill will establish an Adult Social Care Negotiating Body to ensure a fair deal for people in Ipswich and beyond who make such an important contribution to our community.

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”. The man is a fraud.

As being “free to make our own trade deals” has delivered the square root of jack shit and, as Brexiters still can’t tell us what EU regulations they want to scrap, closer alignment with the EU should be a no-brainer. Great work

Years of inertia regarding the Orwell Bridge and a Northern Bypass is hurting both Ipswich and Suffolk. That's why I'm urging the Government to elevate it out of the local political quagmire, and give it the attention it deserves by designating it as nationally significant infrastructure.

Before Christmas, the Government announced an extra £5.5 million for policing in Suffolk - a real-terms funding increase - alongside a number of other measures. I'll continue to lobby for fairer funding, but this significant boost is very welcome.
