A brilliant day at the Suffolk Show - celebrating everything that makes our County so special, from local food, farming and livestock, to crafts, rural businesses, military displays and so much more.

I recently chaired a roundtable meeting with Guy Singh-Watson, founder of Riverford Organic, focused on tackling farmwashing - where big supermarkets mislead customers into thinking their food is as ethical and sustainable as that from small farms.

Last week, I sponsored a Parliamentary briefing on the importance of the farming budget, alongside farming and environmental groups like the NFU - National Farmers' Union, RSPB, and National Trust.

I recently attended the opening of the new temporary banking hub in Leiston — a vital step in supporting our community as Leiston’s final bank branch prepares to close on Friday 2nd May.

I've submitted an appeal to LINK to overturn their decision that denied Felixstowe a banking hub, following the closures of Santander and Halifax.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Easyblinds in Southwold and seeing the brilliant work they’re doing right here in our community. We talked about how they’ve grown the business from a small start up to a business that operates across the globe.

🏖️ In East Suffolk, the tourism industry is worth an estimated £693million. I flagged the importance of the industry in our region to Minister Chris Bryant MP who reiterated the need for us to make sure it is not just cities that are the focus for the targeted 50million international visitors by 2030.

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of welcoming Minister Jim McMahon from Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to BT's Adastral Park.

Today, I was pleased to co-sponsor the Ten Minute Rule Bill "Food products (market regulation and public procurement)".

Yesterday, I asked the Minister if the Jobs Plus Pilot scheme will be extended to Suffolk Coastal.

Yesterday, I and 45 other Labour MP’s from across England, Scotland and Wales wrote to the CEOs of the UK’s six largest supermarkets.

A local business reached out to me for help as they were months overdue a £10,000 VAT refund from HMRC, and struggling to get the issue...

It was a pleasure to visit GAH Refrigeration again recently to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the cold chain industry,

Had a great visit to the Woodbridge Royal Mail Delivery Office this morning to see the hard work happening ahead of Christmas.

Wonderful to be at the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce East Suffolk Business Awards Gala evening last night.
