Without specialist treatments, phenylalanine can build up to dangerous levels, causing severe and irreversible brain damage.

I’m joining NSPKU’s call for the Government to ensure everyone living with PKU has access to the latest treatments and technologies they deserve

The work the National Society for Phenylketonuria does to raise awareness about phenylketonuria (PKU) is incredible. PKU is a lifelong condition that severely restricts what people can eat.

On #ArmisticeDay we remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us. We must truly honour their legacy by pursuing a more peaceful world.

Always great catching up with Christine, Nic and the team at The Locks Inn. It’s such a brilliant community pub. Thanks to Nic for updating me on the renewable energy plans.

And good to speak with residents about issues affecting Geldeston.

This isn’t an oversight, it is a clear, consistent breach of the law.

In 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that climate impacts must be considered in planning decisions.

Yet councils are allowing mega farms to conceal their emissions.

Thirty-five developments have routinely ignored or downplayed the industry’s carbon footprint.

Delighted to push for an equal Parliament with 50/50 Parliament.

If we want to ensure our Parliament really serves everyone, we need equal representation.

That is why it is vital that parties #AskHerToStand and support more women into politics.

It’s absurd that private jet fuel is still untaxed when ordinary people are seeing living costs go up and up.

I joined We Are Possible to call on the Chancellor to end this unfairness & make the richest pay their fair share, to support our public services & a healthy environment

Disgraceful while the ultra rich get richer and ordinary families are left to face colder homes.

I said yesterday that the chancellor was laying the ground for her budget as hard choices for everyone but the wealthiest.⁣

And now the chancellor is reportedly going to cut vital funding for desperately needed home insulation to cut bills.

This morning the Chancellor spoke of difficult decisions for everyone but the ultra-rich.

It’s time to tackle the cost of living crisis, end child poverty and invest in our vital public services by taxing extreme wealth fairly.

It’s simply not right that ordinary people pay while the very richest get away untouched. It’s time to tax the wealthiest fairly.

We must ensure polluters, not the poorest, pay for climate action.

Ahead of COP30, we have written to the Prime Minister, urging him to ensure that those most responsible bear the cost.

Behind every statistic is a real child and family living with the consequences of failure. Norfolk and Suffolk’s children deserve better. I’ll keep pressing the government and our County Councils to deliver the changes needed so every child gets the support they need.

This morning, I stood alongside families outside Norfolk County Hall for #EveryPairTellsAStory. Each pair of shoes lying on the ground represents a child who has been failed by the SEND system.

Since 2015, an average of 53 bank branches have closed every month nationwide. Over 85% of banks in Waveney Valley have shut during that time.

This isn’t sustainable.

I’ve written in this week’s EADT on why we need more banking hubs to keep communities connected. www.eadt.co.uk/news/2557825...

Opinion: Why we urgently need more banking hubs

We cannot allow rural East Anglia to become a patchwork of communities without access to cash or local banking.

Nicola is one of 29 families who lost loved ones in the Chinook helicopter crash.

The Govt still refuses to release key documents, denying truth and justice.

Today I urged ministers to meet the families and the cross-party group of MPs supporting them

For the vast majority of people (except Ukrainians and Hongkongers) there is NO WAY to claim asylum in the UK without coming by small boat

The only way to stop people making dangerous boat crossings to the UK is by creating safe and managed routes

Govt's plan is delusional

Thank you to @AFR_UK for a great session on #HerbiesLaw.

The Government still hasn’t set a timeframe to phase out animal experiments. With proven modern non-animal research methods worldwide, it’s cruel and needless to continue. As a nation of animal lovers, we must act.

Farage's motion on leaving the European Convention on Human Rights failed: 154 votes to 96

All 4 @greenparty.org.uk MPs voted against it, because we believe international agreements on human rights are a good thing.

But only 63 out of 401 Labour MPs did:

Screenshot of graph showing distribution of votes for and against by party.
The 'for' votes are from Reform, Conservatives and some smaller parties.
The 'against' votes are from Green, Plaid, SNP, Independent, Lib Dem, some Labour and some smaller parties.

It is horrifying that Netanyahu has bombed Gaza, a clear violation of the ceasefire.

The unimaginable suffering in Gaza must end.

We must demand justice and reparations for all victims of atrocities.
