Stop the closure of Boots’ Bowthorpe pharmacy

I’m backing constituents who want to halt the closure of Boots’ Bowthorpe pharmacy and I have written to the company’s CEO and NHS England calling for a reprieve.

Enough is enough: NSFT’s CQC report

The CQC’s inadequate rating of Norfolk & Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust today only adds to a track record of failure. Enough is enough. No more buck passing, empty apologies, and inaction. I have asked the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to instruct his Department to take NSFT…

Boris Johnson’s ‘apology’: Not good enough

I listened to the Prime Minister’s apology today, and I think what was clear is that he was sorry – sorry that he was caught. Do I think that he was genuinely sorry for what he had done? No, because if he was, he would have resigned. And that wasn’t…

I call on government to show global leadership in Afghanistan

Afghanistan is facing an escalating and multifaceted humanitarian crisis. In response, the United Nations has launched its largest ever single country appeal. Today I asked the Government if ‘Global Britain’ will show global leadership and act on our humanitarian obligations to the people of Afghanistan. https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/01/1109492

I challenge Tories on failed ‘levelling up’ promise

Councils like Norwich City Council should be the engines of the ‘levelling up’ agenda. But while the Tories promise levelling up, a decade of cuts has left our vital services levelled. So today I asked the Government to stop fobbing us off, and to commit to a long-term, sustainable funding…
