We should be aiming so much higher than "Well, the service in some towns is fine"... Rural communities deserve a first-class frequent bus service. I'm so glad to have @eddavey.libdems.org.uk in this fight alongside me 💪

If coastal erosion was threatening central London, you can bet the government would move heaven & earth to solve it... 🌊 Here in North Norfolk, where we have one of the fastest eroding coastlines in Western Europe, we expect that same level of urgency to tackle this emergency.

🚍🚆 I want to see a transformation in rural public transport. Residents in North Norfolk deserve the best. That means more buses everywhere & a more frequent train service from every station. It was great to sit down with @CBTransport to discuss how we make my vision reality.

It's not good enough to say that social care reform will come in 3 years+ 😡 The sector is on its knees now & at breaking point. That's why I joined the National Association of Carers & Support Workers today to demand fair pay for care workers & more funding for community care.

Residents in every community in North Norfolk should be able to hop on a bus where they are to get them to where they want to go 🚍 That isn't a pipedream. It's a bold vision that'll require bold action and leadership. I met with Sanders recently to get the ball rolling.

Really glad to have @eddavey.libdems.org.uk 's support for my campaign for the introduction of a Coastal Minister. This will ensure that areas like North Norfolk get the focus and attention they deserve from the government.

Road safety along the A148 has been a cause for concern for as far back as I can remember - it's time for action. Last night, I hosted a meeting to discuss what action can be taken to keep all road users safe.

Family farms are at the heart of our rural communities. Spent today with @steffanaquarone.bsky.social - listening to farmers who fear losing everything. The government must listen to them too, and scrap the Family Farm Tax.

Great to welcome @eddavey.libdems.org.uk to Norfolk today & visit one of our county's many hard-working family farms 🚜 🐄 I'm doing all I can to ensure the government #ScrapTheFamilyFarmTax and choose to #BackBritishFarming instead.

No child should go hungry in our country. We need proper reform to the system, so that eligible children automatically get the food they need.

Our children deserve the best 🌟 A bigger digital tax on social media giants could boost state school budgets. No more collapsing classrooms. No more staff cuts. No more basic supplies paid for out of teachers' own pockets.

BANK HUB OPEN 🎊 It was a real pleasure to cut the ribbon for the opening of the new temporary Bank Hub in Holt this morning 💷 I've campaigned to bring bank hubs to North Norfolk for several years. To see it open was both surreal & exciting.

The beauty of being out & about is that I can meet people where they are. People who may not ordinarily get in touch to raise their concerns. Many issues covered in Cromer today, inc getting more services at Cromer Hospital - something I'm championing at every opportunity!

Great time petitioning in North Walsham today ❤️ Huge support for our calls for a first-class rural bus network in Norfolk. I didn't get into politics to oversee a managed decline in services. Quite the opposite. Head to www.northnorfolklibdems.org.uk/take-action/current-campaigns

I'll never apologise for dreaming big & putting the residents of North Norfolk first 💭🚌 With bus services across Norfolk cut by a third over the last decade, it isn't unreasonable to say we deserve better. www.northnorfolklibdems.org.uk/take-action/current-campaigns & sign my petition today 🙏

We need a joined up approach to tackling the issues faced by coastal communities 🌊 That's why I'm determined to see the creation of a Minister for Coastal Communities. Coastal erosion; sewage spills; our tourism economy... ...we have no time to lose. #MinisterForCoastalCommunities

Rural bus services have been decimated. Cut to the bone over many years. It isn't good enough. We should be able to catch a bus that takes us where we want to go, when we want to go. If you agree, sign my petition: www.northnorfolklibdems.org.uk/take-action/current-campaigns

To help shine a light on this important campaign, I presented my Save Roughton Post Office petition in Parliament today. It's already secured lots of local signatures, with residents determined to ensure their rural community maintains its access to post office services.

School budgets are at breaking point 📉 Teachers & parents are already shelling out for basic supplies, & rising costs are set to make matters worse. 📣 WE NEED A DIGITAL TAX ON SOCIAL MEDIA GIANTS, NOW A digital tax would help plug the gap & get our schools back on the right track.

The climate crisis is real. It impacts us here 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 Zero Hour campaign for a comprehensive and joined-up approach to the climate crisis.

Happy Small Business Saturday! 🥳 Small local businesses are the backbone of our communities. I'm continuing to press the govt to reverse their national insurance hike, which will negatively impact small businesses. (1/2)

📣 "Slim profit margins pushed into the red" Instead of punishing small businesses and healthcare providers, the government should be going after wealthy tax-avoiding giants. These national insurance hikes need a rethink.

Residents across North Norfolk rely on a good local postal service. That's why I was out with fellow campaigners today with our Save Roughton Post Office petition. We collected hundreds of signatures, which will help make the case that this rural community should not lose its post office.

🚌 Buses when people want them, to places they need to be. It shouldn't be too much to ask for! Travel to Norwich alone simply isn't good enough for many North Norfolk residents. I'm fighting for a proper rural bus network that will let people get around easily & frequently.
