Delighted to celebrate the extension and refurbishment of Bungay Medical Practice NHS Norfolk and Suffolk ICB, Bungay Medical Practice, and East Suffolk Council have worked tirelessly, transforming the practice into a modern, accessible, and sustainable place for patients, staff and the community.

The People’s Emergency Briefing is a powerful reminder of the urgency of the nature emergency, biodiversity loss and climate change. Over the last few months, communities up and down the country have put on screenings.

Great to visit Fressingfield Shed to see the great work they do bringing people together. It’s a place to learn new skills, have a chat and share experience. It is a brilliant example of our fantastic community initiatives here in Waveney Valley.

Three years on, we all remember the horrific events of October 7 and the wave of destruction in Gaza that has followed it. I reiterate my call for an end to the violence, for peace and safety for both Israelis and Palestinians.

I am deeply saddened the ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion has passed. It doesn't reflect Green principles or my own view. The Green Party has long supported the principle of self-determination, and I stand by our 2024 manifesto commitment of equal rights of Israelis and Palestinians.

Looking forward to talking with members about my work on animal protection in Parliament. If you're in Brighton on Sunday, please do come along.

Great to be in Bungay and nearby villages for the latest stops on my constituency tour. Thank you to everyone who came along to talk about heating oil costs, school and public transport, and river pollution.

It was great to be in Laxfield earlier this month. Thank you to the parish council and residents for showing me round the village, and the wonderful museum. Like so much of Waveney Valley, it's clear just how strong and active the community is in Laxfield.

For people in rural communities like Bungay & Halesworth, public transport isn't a luxury. It's how many people get to work, college & appointments. It makes no sense that the Reform-led council has allowed cuts to the X41. Cllr Peter Aiano & I have asked to meet council leaders to challenge the cut

Really pleased to speak at various events and propose motions at the Green Party conference this year. On Friday, I'll be running the conference's first panel alongside Lydia and Emma, discussing the defence and security case for climate resilience.

Thank you so much to Judi and Clare from St Elizabeth Hospice for showing me around the proposed site for the new hospice in Gorleston. We have a clear need for more hospice beds in Norfolk and Suffolk and it's great to see the plan getting close to being a reality.

It was fantastic talking to the boys and girls of Wetheringsett Primary School, who popped into the village hall as part of my constituency tour.

Delighted to kick off my constituency tour, visiting village halls and pubs across Waveney Valley. I promised to be your voice in Westminster, not Westminster’s voice in Waveney Valley. Check your local Facebook page for a stop near you!

Adrian Ramsay @adrianramsay.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Great to be starting my constituency tour today. Over the next three weeks, I'll be visiting halls and pubs across market towns and villages, talking to you about my work representing you in Parliament and listening to your views.

I was honoured to open the Pulham Market Carnival last weekend. It's a wonderful event with a very long history of bringing people together and celebrating the community.

It is time to end Thatcher's failed 37-year privatisation experiment. It is time to bring water into public control.

I’m honoured to be highly commended for my work on animal protection at the Nature 2030 Political Purpose Awards this week. The Government made many welcome pledges in the Animal Welfare Strategy released last year. It must now deliver on these promises for farmed animals, wildlife and pets alike.

This summer, extreme heat forced the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital to switch off its MRI scanners, leaving hundreds without appointments. As heatwaves get worse, the Government's investment plans must cover keeping equipment running and keeping people safe.

Great canvassing session in Holborn and St Pancras last night with @greenparty.org.uk members. A Green MP will hold the Government to account on everything from the cost of living and building council housing to climate and nature action.

The work Healthwatch does is vital. I agree with the CEO of Healthwatch Norfolk, who said that ceasing the statutory functions of Healthwatch without a suitable alternative in place is to risk another major failing in patient safety.

I'm delighted that the real boss of our house, Bella, has been crowned Purr Minister of the UK. We are a nation of animal lovers, and I am proud to play a leading role in championing animal issues in Parliament. Animal protection isn’t a side issue.

Councillors and officers have spent huge amounts of time on reorganisation proposals, at the Government's request, time that could have gone into services instead. Today I asked the Secretary of State: will devolution mean real funding for local government, or just more upheaval?

Adrian Ramsay @adrianramsay.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
There's been lots of talk of a Number 10 for the North, but we need a Number 10 for the future. Last week I asked Louise Haigh if she agrees that we need a climate protection unit in the Cabinet Office, one that drives a cross-government approach to climate breakdown.

Adrian Ramsay @adrianramsay.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
This week I’ve hosted an event in Parliament calling for an end to the routine tail docking and castration of lambs, a needless, cruel practice. We are calling on the Govt to follow through on the independent Animal Welfare Committee's recommendations and deliver real action to improve lambs' lives.

Adrian Ramsay @adrianramsay.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Climate breakdown is a national security threat. Nature loss puts our food, water, health, economy and stability at risk. The Government no longer has the luxury of time. We need urgent action and a dedicated Climate Protection Unit. We need a Number 10 for the future.

It’s been a fantastic summer speaking with constituents across Waveney Valley, from public meetings to doorstep conversations. Thank you to everyone who shared what matters to you. Back in Parliament today, ready to raise the issues affecting our community.

Market towns like Bungay illustrate the problem with rural access to banking. There was a time when HSBC, Barclays, NatWest and Lloyds had a branch. Now there are none. Yet Link says it concluded that it does not meet the requirements for a banking hub.

Great to meet Fighting With Pride, the charity supporting LGBTQ+ veterans, serving personnel and their families, including those who served under the "Gay Ban" and were forced out of the military. Getting justice for LGBTQ+ veterans matters. I'll keep backing their campaign.

It was great to be out door-knocking in Old Newton with Green Party members and Councillors Agnes Watson and Janet Pearson, listening to residents about the issues that matter most to them.

It's always a pleasure when constituency visits take me out into nature. I enjoyed looking round the now community-managed Gallowsfield Woods in Haughley with the Parish Council and the Gallowsfield Wood Group.

Representing a constituency of more than 120 parishes, I am always keen to visit groups right across Waveney Valley. Attending parish council meetings, like this one in Yaxley, is a valuable way to catch up with residents about the issues affecting our community.

A pleasure to visit the much-loved Goodies Food Hall in Pulham and congratulate them on their recent win of the 2026 Muddy Stilettos' Best Norfolk Farm Shop and Deli Award! It was great to speak with the owner and founder Stuart Gooderham about all the hard work it’s taken to get to this point.

local medical centres refer people who could use a bit more company, and the Ramblers welcome them in for a walk and a chat. Great to spend time with the Ramblers and see this kind of community support making a real difference.

Adrian Ramsay @adrianramsay.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
Great morning out with the Ramblers group in Botesdale & Rickinghall last week. I joined their weekly meet-up, held every Tuesday. We had a beautiful walk around Redgrave Park. This group is such a brilliant example of social prescribing in action:

The UK has rightly imposed sanctions on countries like Russia. International law must be applied consistently. That’s why the Government must also impose sanctions on the Israeli Government's illegal settlements in Palestinian territory.

Last year, 254 horses died in horse racing, alongside 641 recorded whip abuses. Most people would be horrified by these figures. If the sector is serious about its future, it must stop treating these beautiful animals as expendable assets.

Bacton Village Fayre has been going for over 100 years, celebrating the local community. I was there with Green councillors Andrew Stringer and Andy Mellen, talking to fayre-goers about what we're doing in Bacton and beyond.

Really pleased to host the Floodmobile in my constituency. Lots of people came along to talk about the problems they’ve had following flooding. I’ve taken up many cases like this. In Parliament I am pressing for real action on flood management.

With the intense period of heat we're experiencing, it's vital we remember #DogsDieOnHotWalks. If in doubt about going out for a walk with your dog, don't go. Thanks to RSPCA for asking me to share

Britain has entered a new climate reality, and the Government hasn't grasped it. Last week I led a debate on extreme heat and the cross-government action needed to protect us. Here's some of what I said.

The climate emergency isn't a talking point. It's happening right now. Farmers are watching harvests fail, families are facing hosepipe bans, and our infrastructure is crumbling under record heat.
Dear Cllr Hadwen, As a Member of Parliament representing a Suffolk constituency, I am very concerned to hear of your administration’s intention to rescind the Suffolk County Council Climate Emergency Declaration declared in March 2019. Undeclaring an Emergency does not remove threats from flooding or extreme heat which residents will still face and it will not, on its own, save the council any money. The extreme heat we are currently experiencing is a clear example of our climate changing, and the council must use its powers to safeguard residents who are affected by this and other extreme weather which is becoming more common. Understanding that we are facing an Emergency which threatens all aspects of the way that we live, including how our food is produced and how our economic markets can be sustained, is crucial in order to make decisions and provide services which will help the people of Suffolk live well in the coming years.

It's hard to tell if meat or dairy comes from an animal raised indoors on a factory farm or in a genuinely higher-welfare system. That's not an accident. It's a labelling gap. Nearly 80% of the British public want mandatory method-of-production labels on all animal products sold in supermarkets.

I'm in Weybread, where residents have come together to oppose a mega egg incubator. This huge industrial unit would bring a big increase in traffic and heavy lorries coming into a small village that just isn't built for it.

I've signed the Repair and Reuse Declaration. The UK is the second-highest producer of electronic waste per person in the world. Too many of us are stuck throwing away and rebuying electronics because they're not built to last. Repair and reuse should be easy and affordable.

We know that climate adaptation has been the poor cousin of Government policy for too long, despite the threats to life. Ed Miliband acknowledges this. The new Prime Minister must put this front and centre.

I recently met with East Suffolk Travel Association (ESTA) to talk about rail and bus services in and around Halesworth. We discussed the success of the hourly service on the East Suffolk railway line, and I agreed to support the lobbying for a direct service to London.

I’m proud to be shortlisted for a 2026 Political Purpose Award!  The Political Purpose Awards, run by Nature 2030, recognise the politicians, councils and campaigners who have done the most to champion environmental causes over the past year.
