After talking to residents in Bridge last weekend, our @IpswichLabour team moved 'next door' to Stoke Park today. Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak to us. We had some really important conversations and it is exactly why we are out talking to people all year round.

Years of inertia re. the Orwell Bridge and a Northern Bypass is hurting Ipswich and Suffolk. That's why I'm urging the Government to elevate it out of the local political quagmire, and give it the attention it deserves by designating it as nationally significant infrastructure.

Replying to @Suff_highways
@Suff_highways When will this meet your intervention criteria? When the cold weather hits, water freezes? On-going for months, and wasn't dealt with during the recent round of work along that road. Residents are rightly concerned about safety for all road users. @tblacker7

Was listening to a topic about child poverty today and how there are 150,000 kids who leave school everyday and don’t have a proper home to go to. Anyway big protest tomorrow to try and make sure kids getting a free farm worth more than 3 million don’t pay any tax on it 👍

I would be prepared to accept the abolition of Inheritance Tax on condition that we tax the wealthy properly while they are alive.

🚨IT outage tips: - if on EMIS, try BC mode - you can use local non networked apps like Docman to pull critical information - use a simple GP notes proforma to keep records for uploading later - switch off incoming triage systems for now - update patient facing sites #GP #NHS

Watch this it’s fascinating - I asked James Timpson what he’d do about prisons and sentencing if he was in charge. He believes only a third of prisoners in jail should definitely be there. He’s now in charge of prisons (but not sentencing).

Rishi Sunak has offered his resignation to The King but Keir Starmer has yet to be appointed as Prime Minister, so who's in charge? Me.
