Nearly 150 people at one coffee morning, 750+ members and 70+ groups. What a community! Thanks to Georgette and the wonderful Wymondham U3A team for inviting me. A brilliant reminder of why getting out and meeting constituents matters: wymondham.u3asite.uk

Last week, I visited Wymondham to collect signatures for our petition to bring a post office back to the high street. Huge thanks to every resident and business who helped, especially to Deborah, who gathered over 500 signatures!

Nine months after Stowmarket station’s new lifts were installed, they are still not working. I raised residents’ frustrations directly with Greater Anglia and, following my intervention, signs have now gone up explaining the delay. That’s welcome - but Stowmarket still needs working lifts.

Tomorrow those living in Hethersett Ward get to vote for change. I hope you’ve seen what a difference I’ve made as your first Labour MP since 1950: just imagine what more we can do with a Labour councillor rooted in the community. Tomorrow vote local. Vote Labour. Vote Ben Weston.

Reform's First 100 Days in Norfolk: 'Flag Fights, Resignations, Broken Promises'
A newly-elected Labour councillor charts 100 days of a Reform-run county council – scrapped funds, a resigned chief executive, a lost by-election, and not much sign of the 'laser focus on value for money'

REFORM FARCE A newly elected £79,000-a-year police commissioner is facing criticism for announcing a 127-date national theatre tour. Sutton insisted the tour "wouldn't impinge" on his day job, but Labour MP Ben Goldsborough warned "you can't police a county from the back of a tour bus".

Fly-tipping appears overnight, taxpayers pick up the bill and the same hotspots are hit again and again. South Norfolk Council needs new thinking: mobile CCTV, catch the criminals, seize their vans and hit them with every penalty possible. Labour has given them these powers. They must use them.

We will continue to choose hope over fear, unity over division.
The right to protest is a cornerstone of our democracy, but how it’s done matters. I urge all those who are planning to protest this weekend in London to do so peacefully, lawfully and with consideration for others in our city.  
 
The Met has a policing plan in place to keep everyone safe, and any violence and incitement of racial or religious hatred will be met with the full force of the law.
 
The Government is right to ban far-right foreign speakers from coming to our country who were intent on peddling prejudice and hatred.
 
London is a city where we cherish our diversity and reject those who seek to divide our communities. We will continue to choose hope over fear, unity over division.

I think it's really underappreciated that a large chunk of people across the world are everyday being served images of the world's worst atrocities, essentially live as they happen, in ways previously only experienced by people on the frontline, who have historically had years of trauma as a result.

5⃣ times Rhun ap Iorwerth failed to be straight with the people of Wales. Avoiding the question doesn’t make the risk go away. Plaid Cymru's independence plan would tear our nations apart and cost a staggering £7,000 per person.

The Tory two-child cap held families back and pushed thousands into poverty. It was unfair and it was wrong. This UK Labour Government is scrapping it so every child has the chance to thrive. In #CardiffEast, this means an extra 3,070 children will get a better start in life.
