Labour are bringing stability back to the country's finances we're putting more money in people's pockets.

This morning, I met with Forestry England to discuss the work they are doing locally and to get a better understanding of their challenges and opportunities.

We spoke about the importance of tourism to the region, including environmental tourism and ways to widen accessibility to the forest.

We desperately need a railway system that people can rely on in the East of England.

Whether passengers are taking a single trip or commuting every day, they should feel that the railway is there to help them.

I believe that people should trust that their train will be on time.

This morning I highlighted the need to broaden the criteria for Blue Badges.

We need more face to face assessments to ensure we are not isolating or taking away people's independence; many of whom are older people in rural areas.

Norfolk family's anger at disabled parking badge refusal Norfolk County Council says it follows guidance given by the government on blue badges.

Blue Badges being issue are a huge issue & I am helping people like Jean.

We need more face to face assessments to ensure we are not isolating or taking away people's independence in rural areas.

Today, I’ve been in Foulden, Gooderstone, Beachamwell, Narborough and Marham for day six of my summer listening tour, meeting with residents.

Throughout the tour so far, I have visited 28 villages across the constituency.

The beating sun was replaced by plenty of rain for a change!

Today, I’ve been out to Upwell, Outwell & Emneth, meeting with constituents as part of my summer listening tour.

Thank you to everyone who came to meet with me today. I had discussions surrounding SEND, Blue Badges, Palestine, planning, road safety and speeding, social care, and immigration.

YouTube video by Terry Jermy MP MP speaks on Blue Badges eligibility for cancer patients and people with life altering illnesses

We need to broaden the criteria for Blue Badge access.

People who are seriously ill are not getting the help they need.

This is even more important for people living in rural areas like Norfolk where the lack of public transport compounds issues.

'I'm the Labour MP who beat Liz Truss. Here's how the campaign to unseat her unfolded' - LabourList It’s been less than a decade since the term ‘post-truth politics’ came into our lexicon, but it’s now…

The Tories have now disowned Liz Truss, but the good people of South West Norfolk did it a year ago at the ballot box.

Last July, I won and beat the former Prime Minister at the General Election.

Here is how it unfolded.

Here is my statement on the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill.

Delighted that the new F35-A jets announced by the Prime Minister will be based at RAF Marham in my South West Norfolk constituency.

This will support 20,000 jobs in the UK, especially locally.

This is good for our local economy and our national security.

Labour is restoring our armed forces.

YouTube video by Terry Jermy MP Terry Jermy MP Campaigns to Save Thetford Power Station

I visited the Thetford Power Station with BBC Look East to highlight how important this is to our community and the country.

It produces electricity, enough to power 100,000 homes each year.

I am working tirelessly to ensure the government supports its operations post 2027.

I’ve been outlining various ways to reduce the welfare bill over last few weeks. Changing eligibility criteria is not the way forward IMO. System is slow and bureaucratic and full of waste, let’s tackle that, speed it up to stop people falling into crisis which is expensive & detrimental

Labour MPs launch major rebellion to stop welfare bill Amendment intended to kill off legislation that would cut benefits could be backed by up to 100 Labour MPs including senior figures

I have signed this amendment.

Welfare needs reform but I cannot support these proposals.

Disabled people have seen the brunt of cuts for too long. We need a system that is fair, fast & efficient.

I do not believe these proposals achieve that balance.
