It is heartening to see 4 community projects in Bury St Edmunds benefit from £463,508 of funding from @TNLComFund. These groups are fantastic in the great work and support they provide to local people and their community through what have been some extremely challenging times.
Fascinating visit at @INFARM_Global to discover the reality of delivering fresh food to the customers from the urban environment. A new way of farming to complement traditional agriculture: using data-driven ag and science for nutritious and sustainable crops.
Today @INFARM_Global launched one of the largest European urban farms in #Bedford, UK, spreading over 10,000 sqm. The opening ceremony included addresses from @Jochurchill_MP, @YasinForBedford, and Erez Galonska, CEO and co-founder of Infarm https://tinyurl.com/msfnvcxz

Great initiative to tackle crime hotspots in Suffolk - now to be copied by others - well done @SuffolkPolice @TimSPCC
The policing minister said more officers on the streets will help Suffolk face its crime challenges as the government looks to get tough on county lines drug dealing and knife crime. https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/crime/policing-minister-kit-malthouse-visits-ipswich-9094288

This week I'm proud to support #CervicalScreeningAwarenessWeek. Cervical screening (smear tests) can save lives, but 1 in 3 do not attend when invited. Follow @JoTrust to learn more about the test and where you can find support.
Fantastic news for science and patients 💉
Our new partnership with @moderna_tx will help NHS patients access cutting-edge vaccines and treatments.
Watch @SajidJavid and Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel explain more from @StGeorgesUni, the site of the company's first major vaccine study in the UK 👇
Grateful to Energy Minister @GregHands, for listening to me and colleagues from across the region raising concerns about East Anglia GREEN proposals and the consultation.
Good to meet Energy Minister @GregHands last night with my #OffSET colleagues from Essex, Suffolk & Norfolk. We continue to express our concerns about @NationalGrid’s East Anglia GREEN consultation.
Damson & Wilde welcome to Bury!
Great to see another new #hospitality #business open in the town centre on Abbeygate Street🥙 🍸
These costly strikes hurt individuals and the economy. On Saturday morning, I spoke to a local gentleman unable to make a job interview this week because of these strikes - one of the many to be affected alongside students, key workers and other commuters. 🚆
Today is the first day of the #RailStrike which will see services disrupted across Suffolk and beyond

Happy Suffolk Day
It was great to join @NFFNUK and Chair @LinesMartin to hear the latest nature-friendly thinking around the future of food and farming in the UK. Innovation in farming is crucial to tackle the challenges of the future. 🌾 🚜

Full house in Hintlesham village hall for Pylon public meeting - great Qs, huge support for Offshore Grid #OffSET
Wonderful day at @CerealsEvent talking to farmers and scientists. Genetic tech and innovation are unlocking growing more with less impact. Also loved @NHAG_UKandROI jubilee tractor, which runs on biomethane from waste. #agriinnovation
Lovely to talk to @thebedfed and wider mattress industry today, about how we can reduce the environmental footprint of mattresses. Some great work underway but lots still to do #CircularEconomy.
This #WorldEnvironmentDay I’m reflecting on the achievements of women leading the way on climate action and sustainability. I have seen firsthand how key inclusion is for future innovation, and I encourage the next generation to consider careers in these critical sectors.
Support #ClimateAction for women, by women!
On #WorldEnvironmentDay:
🌱 Use your voice & vote to hold leaders accountable
🌱 Support local women-led organizations
🌱 Learn about the work of women & girls fighting #ClimateChange
🌱 Share the stories & inspiration!
On this final day, I hope the street parties have not been dampened by the skies. Thank you to everyone across the #BuryStEdmunds constituency who has organised these wonderful memories! Most of all a big thank you to Her Majesty 👑
Fabulous to visit @NGSOpenGardens yesterday as part of the Jubilee celebrations #Elmswell

Earlier in the week, I had the pleasure of attending the @SuffolkShow, a fabulous two-day event that showcases the very best our county & beyond has to offer. I would like to congratulate organisers and volunteers on such a fantastic show!
Had a brilliant day at #SuffolkShow with @Jochurchill_MP - massive thanks to @NFUEastAnglia @ProagriLtd and @CLAEast for hosting some lively, insightful, constructive and useful conversations with farmers and @MTF_podcast and @The_Barker_Boys for lovely chats and podcasting 🙂

Arts Minister Lord Parkinson recently visited Norwich's wonderful @SainsburyCentre and the excellent @FoodMuseumUK in Stowmarket, both of which received funding support during the pandemic #HereForCulture
Thrilled to attend the opening of The Nest SEND building at St Edmunds Catholic Primary School. A much needed provision in a beautiful setting. Well done to everyone involved for their hard work and determination to bring this project to fruition. @suffolkcc
I started this great project with @SHSHeadteacher & others at the back end of 2020. We have since worked with @MidSuffolk to get to the point we are at today with these exciting plans which will offer sport, community, education & wellbeing aspects in the heart of Stowmarket.
Plans for a major new sports hub in Stowmarket are expected to take a step forward next month. https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/local-council/new-sports-facilities-for-stowmarket-8996840
Alongside the action we’ve already taken this year today's measures will ensure:
The vast majority of households receive £550.
Pensioners receive £850.
And almost all of the eight million most vulnerable households will receive support of at least £1,200.

I am really excited to see the Genetic Technology Bill being introduced in Parliament today. This Bill will enable precision breeding technologies to improve the sustainability, resilience, and productivity of agricultural systems.
Today, I called-in the acquisition of Newport Wafer Fab by Nexperia, a subsidiary of a Chinese company.
There will now be a full assessment under the new National Security and Investment Act.
We welcome overseas investment, but it must not threaten Britain's national security.
We’re introducing the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill to Parliament.
Agri-food and innovation will drive economic growth.

My letter with MP colleagues to Energy Minister @greghands asking that offshore transmission options be included in @nationalgriduk East Anglia GREEN pylon consultation.
Great to catch up with everyone at the Bury Deaf Association coffee morning, to learn about the fabulous work they do, sign language courses, the HOHO club & to talk through issues of concern, such as swimming lessons for deaf children & sub-titles on films & streaming services.
Fully support @TheatreRoyalBSE bid to become an @ace__london National Portfolio Organisation- it would be an excellent addition to the wonderful offering of theatres in their portfolio across the country and worthy of the investment!
