It is clear to me that the land the @DSA_Airport sits on must only ever be allowed to be used for an airport. No warehouses. No houses. No to anything else unless it is an airport.
I spoke in Parliament today to ask the Government to hold a debate on the international socialist concept of so called 15 minute cities and 20 minute neighbourhoods.
Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) in their present format do untold economic damage to any city. However the second step after ULEZ is this so called 15 minute cities or 20 minute neighbourhoods.
I did an apprenticeship. I have also employed many apprentices over my working life and it’s a joy seeing their skills progress and watching them progress as individuals too.
This week I met with @GillianKeegan the Secretary of State for Education to press the case for apprenticeships. Being on the @CommonsEd has enabled me to raise questions of her before.
Cancer affects us all. In particular breast cancer affects far too many women. Please check yourself for anything unusual and if you’re worried then seek advice from @BreastCancerNow and your GP. 🧵2/4
As Chair of the @APPGMenBoys (All Party Parliamentary Group for Issues affecting Men and Boys) I have also become very aware of @ProstateUK and how prostate cancer affects so many men. 33 men die every day. 🧵3/4
I am meeting the Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman this evening. I have made it very clear that I fully support the Government in using the full extent of the law to stop these small boats. 🧵1/6
I can assure you that my Conservative colleagues have the same view as me on this. It is unacceptable for economic migrants to jump the queue and then claim asylum and be fed and housed whilst their claims are investigated. 🧵2/6
My day started with preparation for the weekly zoom meeting for all MPs hosted by @olivercoppard . It’s held at 10 am on a Friday to brief all MPs as to latest developments on @DSA_Airport & @PeelLandP .
It’s an opportunity to ask questions re @DSA_Airport and to probe to try to find out what’s going on. The meeting started shortly after 10 and was stopped shortly after 11. Some people had other commitments so couldn’t stay past 10.30 am.
I wanted to know why @MayorRos had said the bid out to @PeelLandP was credible and why Peel said it wasn’t. There was a detailed explanation given by the CEO of @MyDoncaster about it.
