Standing up for freedom matters.

Met Chloe Cheung from the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong to discuss how the UK can better protect Hongkongers from political persecution. Her testimony on fleeing repression was powerful. We must defend free expression.

Norfolk deserves world-class NHS dentistry.

Access is rising, but there’s more to do. After securing a ministerial visit to the proposed dental school, I pressed Ministers again this week to back UEA’s case and get this school approved. Let’s get it done.

Green Parliamentarians voting with the Tories to water down the Employment Rights Bill shows that they are all talk and no action.
An open letter to Zack Polanski

We hope that Green Party Peers will see sense and commit to backing working people ✅

Our immigration system is failing: we need progressive reform.

We cannot have moving goalposts for Hongkongers.

In Parliament, I called on the government to fix this and protect those who sought refuge here.

South Norfolk stands with our BN(O) community.

Ever wondered what Parliament is really like?

It was a pleasure to welcome Peter and Val for a tour of the Palace of Westminster today. I offer these tours to all South Norfolk constituents, if you're interested, email me: ben.goldsborough.mp@parliament.uk

Thank you to the Jewish Leadership Council and the Antisemitism Policy Trust for meeting with me today. I’ll keep doing all I can to support our Jewish community and ensure everyone feels safe in Norfolk and across the UK.

🚨 The recent revelation that X (formerly Twitter) will now show users’ country of origin isn’t just a minor policy tweak: it should be a wake-up call for anyone serious about defending Western democratic institutions. (1/14)

MAGA X accounts exposed as being run from far-flung foreign countrie
The rollout has hit the MAGA movement particularly hard, with high-profile accounts which often post about election results and Trump's anti-immigration agenda linked to far-flung foreign nations.

❄️ Rail fares frozen for the first time since they were sold off: yes please!

This will make a big difference to those using Wymondham, Spooner Row & Haddiscoe stations in South Norfolk. 🚆

Policies like this are what Labour Governments do.

I visited British Sugar’s Cantley plant: a huge part of our rural economy. Fascinating to see beet turned into granulated sugar. Massive thanks to Andy for the tour. Buy British, back British farmers!

Huge thanks to everyone who attended my Long Stratton coffee morning today. Most attended I’d say I’ve ever had.

Huge shout out to the constituent who brought along his photo of Denis Healey meeting his Keeshond (same breed as my Timo)! 🐕 I obviously have the best constituents!

South Norfolk is on the map! 🗺️

Brilliant to welcome Health Minister Karin Smyth to see the world-class research at NRP, UEA, & NNUH. I promised to make sure our voice is heard in government & yesterday we showed what our science and health teams achieve every day.

A fantastic, energetic evening was had last night!

Great to have Karin Smyth MP, Minister of State for Health and MP for Bristol South, speaking with South Norfolk Labour Party about all things NHS, becoming a minister and how we have a huge job to get on with.

Thank you Karin for your time!

Parliament turned green yesterday!

Brilliant to host the Horticultural Trades Association for Plants in Parliament.

Wonderful to see MPs, Peers and staff queueing round the building for British-grown plants. Huge thanks to the HTA and growers: I’ll keep championing UK horticulture.

🎥 Proud moment for South Norfolk:

This week I joined a reception celebrating the BBC’s apprenticeship programme, where one of our own local apprentices is thriving. The BBC isn’t perfect, but it trains the next generation of producers, writers and journalists who serve our country.

Road casualties in Norfolk have risen more than anywhere else. That should alarm every one of us. Rural road safety is personal to me and over 900 people have taken my survey. I’m fighting for safer school gates and safer villages because South Norfolk deserves nothing less.

A fair asylum system must protect people fleeing danger, support communities and uphold our obligations with dignity.

I pressed for clarity on how refugees will be helped to settle and become self-sufficient: because compassion and practicality can work together.

Labour is stepping up support for those who’ve served our country. We’re rolling out veterans’ support centres nationwide so it’s easier to get help with healthcare, housing, and finding a new job. Proud to back this work for our forces community.

South Norfolk will not be an afterthought.

I brought Recoup’s Ian Steward to Downing Street to make sure our local businesses are heard at the heart of government. I’m determined to muscle South Norfolk into every room that matters so our voice shapes the Autumn Budget.

Retail workers deserve protection.

Great to join the team at the Wymondham Co-Op for #FreedomFromFear week.

We've scrapped the £200 threshold for police action & new laws to protect shopworkers from abuse and violence will be in place by May. @usdawunion.bsky.social
