Much of modern politics involves sitting at a desk and looking at a screen - running a website,, running social media, sending groups of emails, dealing with data about our members, and processing data about voter research in Breckland. If you have some IT expertise and enthusiasm and are happy to explore the systems we use then we'd like to hear from you. One member volunteered to help recently but family circumstance mean they can no longer do so, so we are searching again. Email me and we'll have a chat about it foley845@btinternet.com

Conservative cuts pile pressure on nurses and put patients at risk.

• Operations delayed
• Hospital beds full
• Record numbers left waiting in A&E

Patients faced cancelled operations and long delays at A&E as the NHS struggled through another winter crisis.
