🚨 Today, we wrote to Jim McMahon MP urging the
government to go ahead with this year's county
elections.
The people of Norfolk have rejected Conservative
politics and their voices must be heard.

The NHS dentistry crisis is forcing thousands of people into dangerous DIY solutions while creating 'dental deserts' across the country. This is unacceptable.
The government must stop dragging its feet and act now to save NHS dentistry. Everyone deserves access to safe, reliable dental care when they need it.

The climate crisis is real.
It impacts us in North Norfolk every day.
From flooding & coastal erosion to food production, our way of life is reliant on finding solutions - fast!
That's why I'm backing the @zerohour_uk campaign for a joined-up approach to the climate crisis.

This is the Conservative’s legacy of failure on crime. Thousands of victims left without the justice every single day.
Things cannot continue like this. Our communities deserve to feel safe.

Fly tipping scars the Norfolk countryside, polluting landscapes & harming wildlife 😡
The Tory Tip Tax & mad booking system at recycling centres has made it worse 😟
I raised this yesterday and challenged the Minister to look into what can be done to combat fly tipping.

Years of economic mismanagement, rising costs and insufficient support have left local businesses struggling.
The government must scrap the National Insurance hike on small businesses to save these community backbones.

What a great result. Electoral reform is vital for continued public support for healthy democracy #FairVotes #PR 🗳️
MPs have BACKED @sarahjolney1's Lib Dem bill on electoral reform. This is a historic day for fair votes.
Today, as we have done for a century, Liberal Democrats are leading the fight for fair votes and making sure that no one can be ignored in our democracy.
Fixing our broken electoral system, introducing fair votes, and making sure everyone's voice matters is the best way to rebuild trust in our politics.
We are grateful to all MPs who have backed our call. The government must now listen to the will of the House, make time for the legislation and make fairer a votes a reality and we will be holding their feet to the fire to make this happen.

It is absolutely jaw dropping that some patients in Cumbria and Lancashire have been left waiting 15 months for orthodontic care on the NHS.
I've written to local NHS leaders to ask what action they are taking to tackle these utterly dire waiting times.

I can't wait to join hundreds of Norfolk farmers in Westminster tomorrow & help ensure their voices are heard.
The Family Farm Tax is a disaster for many family farmers across Norfolk.
These are not millionaires or land barons but people who work hard to put food on our tables.

Flooding affects so many families & businesses here in North Norfolk. Its impact is often devastating.
That's why I'm determined to ensure the government is ready to step up support to help communities like ours combat flooding.

It is a national scandal that these bonuses are being paid out by firms who disgustingly pollute rivers, lakes and beaches. These executives are pocketing more every year whilst sewage levels rise. Frankly, the whole thing stinks.
The last Conservative government shamefully let these disgraced firms get away with it, and now the new government has to step up.

"Does the government agree that properly funding social care would reduce pressure on hospitals by preventing health deterioration and reducing emergency department visits?"
