On the left - Cpl Peter Robinson advancing on Stanley 40 years ago today. Today he was in Plymouth celebrating liberation day.

Privilege to spend so much time with these heroes today - Op Corporate seemed to have more in common with WW2/Korea than Afghanistan.

Treasure them🇬🇧

If we want our country to succeed, we need to do what we’ve always done and embrace new technologies, and the people and culture that creates them.

Very sad. Mesmerising as a player and a wonderful ambassador for the game of rugby in retirement. Devoted to his town and community. A true gent. Will be missed all across Wales. https://twitter.com/scarlets_rugby/status/1536069067076935687

Great to see @garystreeterSWD visiting @UHP_NHS & experiencing firsthand what happens in ICU - and thanks for chairing the APPG for Intensive Care hosted by @ICS_updates 👏👏 and your ongoing support for ICU patients, relatives & staff 👍 https://twitter.com/UHP_NHS/status/1535202464294658048

Sir Gary Streeter visits Plymouth’s ICU to learn about difficulties faced by patients

The ICU team felt it was crucial for Gary to see the complex challenges our patients face, both whilst they are in ICU and also during their onward recovery journey.

Fantastic to be at the launch of the Plymouth Commission into violence against women and girls report this afternoon with Victoria Atkins, @garystreeterSWD @PlymouthRebecca @HannahFShead and many many others.

We want Plymouth to be the safest City for women and girls in the U.K

Delighted to be in Switzerland over the next few days. I'll be meeting with the Swiss government and industry to deepen ties and facilitate greater trade of financial services and goods between our countries - boosting growth and supporting jobs.

Worth the wait. What a fantastic weekend!! #platinumjubilee

The Royal transition signalled to the watching world https://twitter.com/mrmikecowan/status/1533482290533261313

Have had honour & privilege to be in presence of HM The Queen on a number of occasions in #Wales #Canada and #Parliament

Hers has been a reign of true dedication, service and devotion to the UK and the Commonwealth.

Congratulations and thank you, Your Majesty! #PlatinumJubilee

Great news and a well deserved congratulation as @stephenctimms gets a #knighthood https://www.stephentimms.org.uk/latest-news

It’s only been a month since Plymouth City Council moved to Conservative overall control under Richard Bingley, and stuff is happening.
👉Help with the cost of living nightmare;
👉conversations on the airport;
👉new health and wellbeing hubs and

If you’re wondering where Henry IV&V are, they’ve been put straight through to round 2 to make the heats work. It’s randomly generated. Not Lancastrian bias 😃

If you’re a bloke in Plymouth I want you to watch this this weekend. The council have reflected on some horrendous crimes against women over the last 8 months.

Overwhelmingly, it’s a men thing. We need to talk about, and be more aware of our behaviours

The @resfoundation says yesterday’s measures announced by the Chancellor have offset 82 per cent of the rise in energy bills, rising to 93 per cent for households in the bottom three income deciles. They note that it’s not just energy bills going up, but that’s still a big chunk.

Huge congratulations to Helen Hurford who has been selected as the @Conservatives candidate for the #TivertonHoniton byelection!

Born in T&H, raised there, taught as a Headteacher there and now runs a small business in the area- she will be a strong local voice.

Cash remains vital for millions of people in the 🇬🇧 & it must be protected for those who rely on it

In 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 this morning I announced new powers for @TheFCA to ensure big banks continue to provide access to cash within a reasonable distance - helping to level up across the country.

Congratulations to Finland and Sweden on their decision to apply for membership of @NATO.

🇫🇮 🇸🇪 will bolster our collective security following Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. 🇬🇧 will work to integrate them quickly. https://twitter.com/jensstoltenberg/status/1526817668212396032

British workers lead the world in REFUSING to return to the office https://trib.al/5jHihym

The PM has this morning stated that the bill to introduce fairness in dealing with the legacy of the past that will protect veterans from vexatious prosecutions will be introduced this week. A seismic moment as we move from promises to delivery. You can achieve things in politics

Financial services is the engine of the UK economy, supporting jobs, growth & prosperity across all our nations and regions.
 
Yesterday’s Queen’s Speech confirmed that we will deliver a landmark Financial Services and Markets Bill in this new session.
 
A thread 🧵

1 in 100 people have coeliac disease. It's not faddy eating. It's not a lifestyle choice. One crumb really does matter. It's an autoimmune condition. #ShineALightOnCoeliac #Coeliacdisease

@Rentplus_UK delivers true #LevellingUp for the renters we help become homeowners. They tell us we’ve changed their lives for the better and that’s a great thing to hear. #makingadifference #affordablehousing #affordablerrenttobuy

Queen's Speech tomorrow should see the outline the anticipated Levelling Up + Regeneration Bill.

We think that giving working people the chance to own their own home by removing the deposit barrier is true Levelling Up. That’s what @Rentplus_UK does.

A new dawn has broken, has it not? #ConGain

Correction needed: he does have a spine, the NHS found it yesterday 👍 https://twitter.com/Matthewwilding7/status/1522474848185901057

Ignore Putin’s threats and expand Nato now. Instant membership for Sweden and Finland and raising defence spending targets would reinvigorate the alliance. Read my latest @thetimes column here: http://bit.ly/38Kd6OO

The old adage: “A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for” inspired @andyflannagan to write a new song for @thykingdom_come. Here's why he thinks the Church should not be a 'safe space' for Christians:

https://www.premierchristianity.com/opinion/church-is-not-a-safe-space/13038.article

We are so excited to announce the release of a brand new song, complete with a stunning animation - ‘Not Made for the Harbour’ by @andyflannagan - in partnership with @liccltd, for this year’s #ThyKingdomCome.

#Rentplus_UK provides needed affordable housing to those who cannot access #homeownership due to the deposit barrier.

We do this by partnering with #localcouncils and housing associations. Reducing #housing lists without LAs drawing on grants or #government funding.

The City Council work with the Nancy Astor Scholarship Trust each year to provide support to young people engaged in the study of early childhood education and care. I was so pleased to present the awards to the recipients last night #education #nancyastor #YoungPeople

Excellent discussion in Germany with my counterpart Dr Carsten Pillath.

We discussed how 🇬🇧 and 🇩🇪 can enhance regulatory cooperation in financial services – and how we stand ready to inflict further economic pain on the Putin regime for its barbaric invasion of Ukraine.

We want to see our affordable #RenttoBuy #homes on every new #housing development across the country. 🏡💙

#Rentplus_UK is opening up the opportunity of #homeownership to millions of hard working people on lower/middle incomes + helping create diverse, stable communities.

He is risen! Alleluia!

Happy Easter from all of us at Christians in Parliament! Watch our Easter video from last year below #ARenewedHope #HappyEaster https://youtu.be/EcLPAF7TLAU

Happy Easter! As a Christian, it is important to me to celebrate the miracle of Christ’s resurrection. I wish everyone a very peaceful and blessed Easter Sunday.

Putin and Zelenskyy agree on very little but both single out Britain as most supportive of Ukraine. And the person most deserving of credit for that? Definitely @BWallaceMP. An absolutely outstanding Defence Secretary https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-61126391
