CANCER RESEARCH

Very happy to meet Sue and Shannon from Cancer Research and attend this event today in Parliament. I fully support @CR_UK who do such great work. 🧵1/4

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

Look after yourself. Check for anything unusual. Use the wonderful service that is the NHS. Let’s beat cancer together. 🧵4/4

15 MINUTE CITIES

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.

🧵1/7 #Doncasterisgreat #stronglocaleconomy
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.

🧵2/7 #Doncasterisgreat #stronglocaleconomy Image
These will take away your personal freedoms as well. Bristol, Oxford, Canterbury are signed up for them as is now @SheffCouncil. See their minutes of 2 February 2022. ➡️ democracy.sheffield.gov.uk/mgAi.aspx?ID=2…

NATIONAL APPRENTICESHIP WEEK

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.

🧵1/4 #Doncasterisgreat #stronglocaleconomy #education Image
I’m doing all I can to promote apprenticeships and I am lobbying those in Government when I can.

🧵2/4 #Doncasterisgreat #stronglocaleconomy #education
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.

SMALL BOATS

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

#StopTheSmallBoats #Doncasterisgreat #controlledimmigration
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

#StopTheSmallBoats #controlledimmigration
They could have claimed asylum in France. That is not a war zone. It is a perfectly safe country to be in. 🧵3/6

UCAS & APPRENTICESHIPS

Today, the Government is launching plans to allow young people to use @ucas_online to search and apply for apprenticeships alongside degrees.

🧵1/6 #Doncasterisgreat #stronglocaleconomy #apprenticeshipweek Image
This will give them a better understanding of all the options available to them so they can get the best possible start in life.

I’m really pleased as apprenticeships are something I feel are not used enough.

🧵 2/6 #Doncasterisgreat #stronglocaleconomy #apprenticeshipweek Image
Both my son and I served apprenticeships and gained so much from the experience. New skills. Salary. No debt. A real launchpad to get ahead in life.

AIRPORT CLOSURE - DAY 108

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 .

🧵 1/18 #SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat
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.

🧵 2/18 #SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat
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.

I have just come off a Zoom meeting about @DSA_Airport .

@PeelLandP have received a bid and @MayorRos says it is a credible offer. Peel on the other had put out a press release to @BBCLookNorth saying they have had no credible bids.

🧵 1/4 #SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat
I have now been given further information about this bid to @PeelLandP. On the basis of what I have been told this morning, this bid is absolutely credible.

🧵 2/4 #SaveDSA #Doncasterisgreat
I have been in touch with both the Secretary of State for Transport @Mark_J_Harper and the Aviation Minister and made that crystal clear to them.
