Local MP and long time River Wye campaigner Jesse Norman has given a qualified welcome to news today of the first joined-up action by governments on the river.

Local MP Jesse Norman was a guest speaker at the opening of the United Kingdom Youth Parliament 2025 last week.

The River Wye is one of the most beautiful and ecologically significant rivers in the UK. 

I looked at Leon, Leon looked at Katie and Milly, they all looked at me, and we peered once again into the drain. The water was near the top, and it wasn't moving. Not good. 

Local MP Jesse Norman has expressed his deep concern at the continuing lack of effective drainage on Brookend Street in Ross-on-Wye. 

Local MP Jesse Norman has expressed his strong support for two great initiatives in South Wye, the new CMA debt advice service and the community food parcels provided to needy families. 

Jesse Norman writes for The Telegraph.

To say that the 2024 general election was a disaster for the Conservative Party tests the art of political euphemism to its limits. The result has been to create a wasteland on the centre-Right of British politics.

Jesse writes for the Hereford Times.

A new government in a new parliament is always an opportunity for political renewal. But how vigorously that opportunity is taken varies wildly.

Jesse writes for The Telegraph.

Who should be the next leader of the Conservative Party? Every MP will have their own take, of course. But for me it comes down to two key issues: the task and the person.
