Sandy Martin, who was elected MP for Ipswich last week, is at Westminster for his first visit since he won the seat for the Labour Party.

He told me: "I feel like I've arrived. It's a good feeling.

"I know that I have now got a position which I'm very honoured to have, which I will have to work hard to justify, but which I think I can make a real difference."

The new Labour MP for Ipswich is spending his first day in London after taking the seat from Conservative Ben Gummer in last week's general election.

As he arrived in the capital, Sandy Martin admitted to "slight trepidation" saying: "I've got the sort of feeling of somebody who turns up at school a day late and I'm going to be criticised by people for not being here on time, missing the pep talk from the headmaster and so on."

An appeal by the optometrist who was given a two-year suspended jail sentence last August, after being convicted of gross negligence manslaughter of an eight-year-old boy, has been heard at the Court of Appeal in London.

Judgement has been reserved to a date yet to be confirmed.

Honey Rose, from Newham in east London, failed to spot an eye condition in an eight-year-old boy who later died.

Vincent Barker, known as Vinnie, died in July 2012 after fluid built up on his brain, three months after he'd undergone an eye examination by Ms Rose at a branch of Boots in Ipswich earlier that year.

Rose had claimed her examination of Vinnie was tricky, because he had closed his eyes to the light and looked away during the test.

The managing director of Ipswich Town Football Club says Sir Elton John (pictured during a gig earlier this month), has put in an order for some club merchandise ahead of his appearance at Portman Road on Saturday night, external.

Ian Milne said: "Sir Elton is looking forward to coming down, he's requested a few Ipswich Town football shirts, he's a big Watford supporter as you know, so we're very pleased about that.

"The write-ups of Birmingham last week, external were fantastic so yeah, we're all getting very excited.

"He's a great showman."

The decision by Ipswich Town to reduce the cost of their matchday tickets isn't necessarily going to lead to an increase in people going to Portman Road, if the comments on our Facebook page, external are anything to go by:

• Alan Marsh writes, external: "More positive football would get me back"
• Mark Onejob Green says, external: "Nope. Why pay for something that isn't entertaining?"
• Rita Mackenzie posts, external: "Interesting they do this after putting season tickets up and getting a dismal response"

Following Leigh Greenan's departure from Ipswich Basketball Club, external yesterday, the man who coached the giant centre for 12 years is hoping he can go on to play for England at the Commonwealth Games.

Nick Drane is backing Greenan to be a success next season with Division 1 side Hemel Storm,, external and believes that at 27, his best years are ahead of him.

"With modern science, professional athletes are playing for longer and it is no exaggeration to say that Leigh is a world class athlete," Drane told us.

"He is a freak of nature, the strongest man you will ever meet, and for someone that plays his role, his physical prime will come during the next 5 or 6 years.

"If he plays well for Hemel and the Commonwealth Games does happen for him, it is not too late for Leigh to do something special in the sport."

Bury St Edmunds resident and former member of Margaret Thatcher's cabinet Lord Tebbit says Theresa May "needs to continue as prime minister for the present".

"What happens in the longer term will depend on how she manages her affairs and how she gains the support of the whole party. That’s the most important thing," he added.

Lord Tebbit, pictured with Margaret Thatcher at the party conference in 1983, thinks Mrs May's future is "certainly more than weeks".

He continued: "We have to see what happens now, we can't undo those errors in the past.

"We've made the Labour Party a much more formidable opponent, because we let them get away with so much during that campaign.

"It's always hard to say there's no way back - it may be that she can strike back.

"She's done the right thing by bringing in new advisors, because the advisors she had were hopelessly incompetent."

Referring to how long the prime minister can survive in office the Tory peer said: "It depends what she does. The mistakes are behind her. It's where you go from here."

Lord Tebbit, who lives in Bury St Edmunds and was in Margaret Thatcher's inner circle of advisers and part of her cabinet for six years, says Theresa May's decision to call a snap election was "one of those things where it sounded a good idea at the time".

The man who was at Margaret Thatcher's side for her landslide victory in 1987, said: "You can only blame the prime minister herself, because her advisers were advisers that she chose and she chose not to take the advice of people who'd fought elections before, successfully.

"If she'd asked me about it, I'd have said 'if you want to go for an election, prime minister, you must go for the shortest possible campaign because if you're ahead at the beginning, then the only change that can happen will be for the worse'".

The outgoing head coach of Ipswich Basketball Club,, external Nick Drane (right), says he and star player Leigh Greenan (left) had discussed the latter's potential departure from Copleston not long after he first joined the club.

Yesterday, Greenan joined NBL Division 1 side Hemel Storm,, external and the 27-year-old hopes the move will help him earn selection for England at next year's Commonwealth Games.

"This process started in my mind when Leigh first started playing basketball for us 12 years ago. We've been trying to subtly convince him to take a chance and really go for it," Drane said.

"He picked up a knee injury 18 months ago and things accelerated from there. We told him to use the following season to get in the best shape of his life and then review his options.

"He is good enough to play at the Commonwealth Games for sure, but he was never going to get picked while he was competing in Division 2.

"Next season will be different and hopefully the selectors will take note."

Not long until Glasto now folks.

Another thing you can do in preparation of seeing Sunday's headliner Ed Sheeran is to delve into the world of his doppleganger.

Following on from Yorkshire's answer to Dave Grohl, the next in BBC Music's My Hero series follows Jack Shepherd from Reading, as he goes about his job of imitating Ed as the Ed Sheeran Experience.

Jack is such a ringer that his own kids can't tell the difference.

Oh and it was all his wife's idea.

An optometrist who failed to spot an eye condition in a Suffolk boy who later died returns to court today to appeal against her conviction for gross negligence manslaughter.

Honey Rose, from Newham in east London, performed an eye test on Vinnie Barker in 2012 at a branch of Boots in Ipswich.

He died five months later after fluid built up on his brain.

Ms Rose, who was given a two-year suspended jail sentence last August, is appearing at the Court of Appeal in London.

Money and cigarettes were taken in an armed robbery at a Sudbury service station last night.

Three men wearing balaclavas targeted the Gainsborough petrol station on Northern Road just before 23:00.

We understand they were armed with weapons, which weren't guns.

A fourth man drove them away in a silver Vauxhall Astra that was waiting nearby.
