4 Jul 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“Community matters: Bawburgh does it again! 🦆 A huge thank you to the organisers for another brilliant Duck Race. Great to chat with so many residents ahead of the meeting I've arranged on antisocial behaviour and congratulations to our Westminster duck spotting winner! #Bawburgh #SouthNorfolk”↗
3 Jul 2026Environmentmeasured“The data centre proposed is a closed loop system so won’t be abstracting any water. Plus, the current planning permission on site is for an industrial estate (this is approved) & would be far more polluting with HGVs using the site regularly. The proposed Data Centre doesn’t & would secure 150 jobs”↗
3 Jul 2026Agriculture & Rural Economymeasured“The best policies start in the field, not behind a desk.🌱 This week I attended Groundswell with the EFRA Select Committee, hearing directly from farmers and land managers. I also joined a CLA panel and caught up with DEFRA Secretary Emma Reynolds MP. #Groundswell #Farming”↗
2 Jul 2026Transportmeasured“The roadworks aren't the issue. The planning is. I support upgrading the A47. We need better roads. But it's not beyond the wit of man to keep buses running while the work takes place. With a bit of imagination, residents shouldn't have to lose vital transport links.”↗
2 Jul 2026Economy & Jobs (General)celebratory“🔬 South Norfolk is helping shape the future. It was brilliant to visit the Royal Society and see the incredible work of the Norwich Research Park's @quadraminstitute.bsky.social, @johninnescentre.bsky.social and @earlhaminst.bsky.social on show. We should all be proud. #SouthNorfolk #Science”↗
1 Jul 2026Agriculture & Rural Economymeasured“Planning ahead matters. As demand grows for livestock vaccines, whether for bovine TB or poultry, I asked whether the UK will actually have the supply to deliver. Farmers deserve confidence that ambition will be backed by action. 🌾🐄🐔”↗
30 Jun 2026Agriculture & Rural Economymeasured“20% of England's pig herd is in Norfolk and Suffolk. That's why I challenged experts in the EFRA Committee over veterinary vaccine shortages affecting our farmers. We need resilient supply chains that give farmers the certainty they deserve. 🌾🐖”↗
30 Jun 2026Transportangry“Easton bus nightmare. I told BBC Norfolk exactly what local people are thinking. Getting answers from Reform-run Norfolk Council been like "nailing jelly to a wall". While organisations blame each other, residents are left stranded. I'll keep fighting until Easton gets the bus service it deserves.”↗
29 Jun 2026Transportangry“🚨 A win for Easton, but First Bus still hasn't learned. I've been calling for a diversion, not a cut to the Excel service, and they've finally agreed. Yet once again I wasn't told. I found out because a constituent spotted it on Facebook. That's simply not good enough.”↗
28 Jun 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“The best of British. 🇬🇧 A brilliant afternoon yesterday at Wymondham Ex-Services Club celebrating Armed Forces Day. Great food, music and community spirit, but above all the chance to thank those who served our country. They deserve our gratitude not just today, but every day.”↗
28 Jun 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“Your votes made the difference!🐟🍟 Congratulations to the brilliant team at Rumble's in Hethersett on receiving a Highly Commended certificate in my South Norfolk Fish and Chip Shop Awards. A well deserved recognition for going above and beyond for our community.”↗
27 Jun 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“Antisemitism is a vile form of racism. If we dismiss it or look the other way, it spreads until hatred and suspicion become normal. Challenge it. Call it out. Never become indifferent. 6/6”↗
27 Jun 2026Othermeasured“I'm not sharing this for sympathy. I'm sharing it because too many people still claim antisemitism isn't a real problem in Britain today. It is. 5/6”↗
27 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentdefensive“Whether I am Jewish or not is completely irrelevant. It should make no difference whatsoever to whether people believe I can represent South Norfolk with integrity. 4/6”↗
27 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“It's one of the oldest antisemitic tropes there is: the idea that Jews have divided loyalties and cannot truly act in the interests of the country or community they serve. 3/6”↗
27 Jun 2026Culture & Communityangry“The comment suggested that because I have a Jewish “sounding” (whatever that means!) surname, I must have hidden motives and that the public are entitled to know whether I'm Jewish. That isn't an innocent question. 2/6”↗
27 Jun 2026Culture & Communityangry“🧵 This is why I will never stop speaking out about antisemitism. I'm constantly told it's "not a problem" in South Norfolk. Then someone posted this on my Facebook page. 👇 1/6”↗
27 Jun 2026Local Governmentsarcastic“Nothing - in actual fact they gave him a job as Chair of the Infrastructure and Development Committee.”↗
27 Jun 2026Environmentsarcastic“Reform tried to bin a council's climate emergency declaration. The vote was delayed... ...because the chamber was too hot. Even reality has started mocking Reform. 🔥 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...”↗
27 Jun 2026Agriculture & Rural Economymeasured“🌱 #ICYMI: I was honoured to deliver the closing remarks at the Royal Norfolk Show's Big Debate. My message was simple: farming succeeds when consumers come with us. We must be honest about the choices between price, production and environmental protection.”↗
26 Jun 2026Agriculture & Rural Economycelebratory“🚜 #ICYMI: Farm accidents remain far too common. At the Royal Norfolk Show I met Thea from RABI to discuss the brilliant FarmersAid app. It is packed with practical advice for farmers and countryside users alike. A simple tool that could help save lives. rabi.org.uk/rabi-officia...”↗
26 Jun 2026Housing & Planningcelebratory“🏡 Strong social housing starts with strong partnerships. A pleasure to meet the team at Saffron Housing today to discuss how we can support both tenants and the social housing sector to thrive. Thanks to James Francis for his proactive engagement. Looking forward to working together.”↗
26 Jun 2026Local Governmentmeasured“Are you getting the post you deserve? 📮 I've secured a meeting with Royal Mail following concerns raised by South Norfolk residents. If you've experienced missing post, undelivered parcels or poor service, email me at ben.goldsborough.mp@parliament.uk by 30 June 2026.”↗
26 Jun 2026Agriculture & Rural Economycelebratory“🌾 #ICYMI: Great to join Norfolk farmers and @terryjermymp.bsky.social at the NFU roundtable. We discussed everything from input costs and trade to precision breeding, water management & planning. I always value the knowledge & honesty of our farming community. We always have a laugh as well!”↗
25 Jun 2026Agriculture & Rural Economycelebratory“🚜 Great to welcome the Farming Minister, @stephenmorganmp.bsky.social to the Royal Norfolk Show with @terryjermymp.bsky.social . We discussed backing rural businesses, cutting red tape and unlocking investment. I also hear some South Norfolk produce made its way onto the Minister's lunch plate!”↗
24 Jun 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“The greatest show on earth? Right here in Norfolk. It was a real honour to join the civic welcome for Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal at the Royal Norfolk Show today. Great conversations with farmers, businesses and our rural community. Looking forward to day two.”↗
24 Jun 2026Environmentmeasured“A privilege to make my first appearance on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee since being elected unopposed. I opened proceedings by questioning experts on the growing threat wildfires pose to rural communities like South Norfolk. 🌿🔥”↗
23 Jun 2026Transportangry“🚨 Easton deserves better. I've updated constituents after the appalling handling of the Excel bus. First Bus told me a replacement shuttle was coming. It wasn't true. I'm demanding answers, pushing for the service to return and won't stop fighting for Easton.”↗
23 Jun 2026Environmentcelebratory“📬 The next generation is speaking up for wildlife. I was proud to bring letters from pupils at St Augustine’s Catholic Primary School in Old Costessey into Parliament today. Their passion for protecting elephants from poaching and trophy hunting is inspiring. I’ll be writing back soon.”↗
22 Jun 2026Culture & Communitymeasured“It was a pleasure to meet with the Jewish Leadership Council, Campaign Against Antisemitism and Community Security Trust in Parliament today. Thank you for the discussion. I reaffirmed my continued support to stamp out antisemitism and keep Jewish people safe in South Norfolk.”↗
