Enjoyed meeting MP @tomhunt1988 this morning in the parliament, nice surprise to bump into @gregsmith_uk, co-chair of APPG for Motorsport, outside Westminster ahead of the @SMMT automotive summit. Automotive industry is a vibrant sector in Morocco 🇲🇦
With the greatest of respect I think the best thing Amazon could do to support people in this country is to pay their fair share of taxation. Not virtue signal and support an organisation that appears to be encouraging dangerous small boat crossings
Since October, we’ve supported @Care4Calais by transporting more than 33,500 donations to help refugees feel welcome and comfortable as they start a new life in the UK. #WorldRefugeeDay

A huge thank you to all supporters, campaigners & colleagues for supporting my Dyslexia Screening and Teacher Training Bill
Together, we have the chance to help every child with dyslexia deal with the challenges and make the most of the advantages that dyslexia brings us
1/1Telling that many of the most vocal critics of the Rwanda policy are members of elite society who have never had to live with the consequences of uncontrolled illegal immigration. The issue that the Rwanda policy is designed to tackle.
Just heard that apparently “Mr Rules” is currently under formal investigation by both the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards and the Police. Who would have thought.
I keep reading the argument that "safe and legal routes" will stop the Channel crossings. But unless we offer a safe and legal route to everybody prepared to make the journey, it quite obviously won't stop the crossings.
Shopkeepers and residents were asked for their views during a fact-finding walkabout aimed at tackling anti-social behaviour and criminal activity in Ipswich town centre. https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/crime/tom-hunt-ipswich-police-patrols-vandalism-town-centre-9030894
For all Labour’s talk of moderation, they still back hardline unions over hard pressed travellers. https://twitter.com/bbcquestiontime/status/1535019051017191424
“If I were a member of the RMT then I would be voting to go on strike and I’d be voting to defend my job’s terms and conditions”

On the day this Government is extending the possibly of homeownership to millions more hardworking people, Labour supports grinding the country to a halt because their union bosses say so… #SameOldLabour https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1534796746651574272
Labour frontbencher Lisa Nandy comes out in support of RMT strike https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jun/09/labour-frontbencher-lisa-nandy-comes-out-in-support-of-rmt-strike?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=twt_gu&utm_medium&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1654758970
Let’s not forget she also supports getting rid of the Monarchy whilst at the same time liking the idea of “Queen Meghan”. Apparently she’s a moderate 🤔

Go and find another job then. Border control is one of the key functions of the Home Office. Maybe try and get selected as a Labour candidate
A Home Officer worker has told Sky News they feel ashamed to work for the government because of its plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda https://trib.al/dM4EcHZ
Lab would almost certainly have stayed in the EU vaccines programme and locked down harder and for much longer.
The first of these would have meant more UK covid deaths, the second would have meant greater economic damage and a slower bounce-back. https://twitter.com/andrew_lilico/status/1534465551757676544
This is Labour. This is how wrong they'd be & what they would do to your lives if you gave them the power to do it. https://twitter.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1417185971284496384

1/1The Prime Minister was elected with a significant democratic mandate. Since then, a lot has happened. Many of the big calls the PM has got right. Broke the Brexit impasse, behind one of the worlds most successful vaccine roll outs, 1st class leadership on Ukraine.
“I have been humbled and deeply touched that so many people have taken to the streets to celebrate my Platinum Jubilee.”
As the #PlatinumJubilee weekend draws to a close, Her Majesty has sent a thank you message to all those who have marked her 70 years as Queen.
RIP Mike. It was a pleasure to serve with him for as a councillor for a short time. His passion and knowledge of Ely was second to none.

Can't believe my 👀 @UKLabour have just said that the rights of terrorists equal the rights of victims.
Whose side are Sir @Keir_Starmer & Labour MPs on? https://twitter.com/Conservatives/status/1529159395531169800
Wait, what did Labour say?
Wonderful to hear from the incredibly articulate @CubittTownPri pupils about how a focus on oracy in school has helped their learning & social skills since lockdown. Every child should have this opportunity! @EmmaHardyMP @tomhunt1988 @LordJimKnight @KateGreenSU @rach_hopkins
Having an amazing time with Westminster with @tomhunt1988 here

Ipswich MP @tomhunt1988 when assurances that FE will be a focus in SEND reforms. Skills minister @alexburghart says he's working with stakeholders to get it right.
Very pleased to hear. Doesn’t come as a surprise though. Have visited the school a fair few times over the past year or so and it was clear that under Andrew’s leadership the school was heading in the right direction. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Biological sex matters - ask any doctor or nurse. Facts matter. Respectful debate matters.
This growing culture of shutting people down is deeply disturbing and must be challenged.

The reality is Keir was happy to pose as Jeremy Corbyn's friend, happy to serve under him, campaign for him, and endorse major parts of his agenda. So long as it was politically useful. Then when it wasn't, he stopped. Which is fine. But not an example of honour or integrity.
We are campaigning for better funding of SEND in schools with a visit from @tomhunt1988 MP
Our Year 4 children asked questions on how to improve local issues such as litter, cycle lanes and empty shops 🗑 🚲

What do you think of @nationaltrust's recent introduction of gender-neutral loos at some sites, without convenient access to male- and female-only loos?
As one put it, "I had to stand outside the door for my teenage niece, as she was extremely uncomfortable"
