CPS Fuels have also confirmed they will deliver orders at the price paid, with deliveries expected within the next 10 to 12 working days.

After pressing both companies, Goffs have confirmed they will honour orders placed during the crisis at the original agreed prices. This is the right outcome for customers.

I’ve been working both in Westminster and directly with heating oil companies in Norfolk after many constituents raised serious concerns about cancelled orders and price changes. I’m pleased to say progress has been made.

I’m using every avenue to keep attention on the heating oil crisis facing rural Britain. I make no apology for the steady stream of posts on this issue. It matters. Glad ministers heard our solutions and councils can use the Household Support Fund.

UPDATE 4: Heating Oil

Grateful to be invited by the Treasury to meet Ministers to discuss heating oil pressures. A week into the Iran crisis the government is already gathering evidence, meeting suppliers & making the CMA to act.

I will keep pushing for a fair deal for South Norfolk.

Better crops mean better health.

Great to welcome Brenda & Georgia from the @johninnescentre.bsky.social to Parliament. We discussed their work improving the nutritional quality of crops here in the U.K. & around the world. Proud to represent such world class research at Norwich Research Park. 🌱

Dental desert no more: South Norfolk at the front of the queue.

On ITV Anglia I welcomed the Government funding 50 new dentistry training places. Ministers have told the Office for Students to prioritise dental deserts & areas without training.

That puts the South Norfolk at the top.

Our Labour Government is creating 50 new dental training places, the first expansion since 2007. The Edith Cavell Medical Campus in South Norfolk is top of the list.

I have pressed ministers and brought them to the site.

You ask. I act. We win.

Heating oil prices are surging and rural families are being hit first.

I spoke to Greatest Hits Radio about why households who rely on heating oil need protection equivalent to the energy price cap.

Ground source and air source combo would be good, but some of the housing in my rural constituency isn’t up to scratch on insulation. So we need to fix that first and Id also say look at cooperative energy community schemes as well.

After our joint Labour Rural Research Group letter to the Chancellor, she confirmed the Competition & Markets Authority will investigate the sector.

We have also secured a meeting with MPs this week to push forward solutions. Rural voices are being heard.

Attention: the receipt is in.

Since being elected the first Labour MP for South Norfolk since 1950, I have secured over Β£514 million of investment for our communities. People demanded change and change is what I am delivering.

Today I am publishing the South Norfolk Investment Receipt.

Norfolk Showground in my constituency as well. Wonder if he will follow parliamentary protocol and tell me: he hasn’t yet.

But then again we know he doesn’t care for rules.

Heating oil prices have surged for off grid households following global tensions. I liaised with BBC Look East to raise awareness and push for action.

If you live off-grid in rural Britain, the Labour Rural Research Group will make sure your voice is heard.

Crypto donations are a new back door for foreign interference.

Only one Westminster party accepts them: Reform UK.

Heating oil prices are surging & rural families are being hit first.

I have joined colleagues in the Labour Rural Research Group to write to ministers calling for a four point action plan to protect off grid homes and businesses from unfair price spikes.

Rural Britain must not be left exposed.

Village cafes are the heartbeat of our communities.

Had a brilliant afternoon at the Stoke Holy Cross Village Cafe yesterday after a kind invite from the fantastic parish council team. Great chats with villagers from Stoke Holy Cross. Thanks Annette for the cracking cuppa & cupcake. I will be back!

Community orchards thrive when neighbours pitch in.

Great to be back at Queen’s Hills Community Orchard with Chris & the gang today.

We split into teams renovating the big bug hotels & clearing weeds around the trees, adding bonemeal to the soil. Fresh air, volunteering, & brilliant chats.

Thank you to the team at Norfolk & Suffolk Foundation Trust’s Gateway House in Wymondham for such a warm welcome. Was invaluable to speak directly with staff delivering care & hear first hand about the opportunities & challenges they face. I’ll follow up with the minister on several points raised.

Heating oil prices are causing real worry.

In Parliament I raised concerns from South Norfolk residents and Thurlton Parish Council about the risk of sudden price shocks for homes that rely on heating oil. Rural communities must not be overlooked in the cost of living crisis.

Bird flu vaccine trials 'momentous' says Norfolk poultry farmer Poultry boss Mark Gorton says bird flu is

This is good news for British biosecurity and even better news for Norfolk poultry that we are at the heart of the trials.

DEFRA are taking the right action. The Bird Flu epidemic across Europe has been devastating and cost the U.K. Β£174m every year.

Throwback Thursday: I have been relentless in pushing for a dental school in South Norfolk.

I even brought Health Minister Karin Smyth to Colney to see the building herself. It has been promised for years. I am stubborn and I will keep going until we get it done. #TBT

One of the best parts of being South Norfolk’s MP? When constituents invite me to their events in Parliament.

Yesterday I met Prof. David Wright & Prof. Stewart Kirton to back the UK’s leading educators in nursing, midwifery & allied health.

And yes… something caused a lot of laughter first!
