Boris’ speech didn’t just speak to the party members, but to everyone in the UK. He spelled out what levelling up means: the changes he outlined – more housing, better transport links, skills, skills, skills – are all going to level up Cornwall. I'm excited about what is coming. https://t.co/CAa3al6N7Z — PolitiTweet.org

This week we’re celebrating all the grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, relatives and friends who have stepped in to raise children who can’t live at home. Tens of thousands of Kinship Carers provide love, support and protection to children who might otherwise be in care. https://t.co/4FkxxqSQap — PolitiTweet.org

Next week I'll be in Helston, Ashton and Germoe on Friday, and Marazion, Mousehole and Penzance on Saturday. Anyone who drops in is welcome – whether you want to raise an issue, ask for my help or just tell me your views. All dates are on my website at https://t.co/BsnbL4BmHD. — PolitiTweet.org

People talk to me about housing more than any other issue. In my discussions about NHS dentists, one of the biggest challenges facing the NHS is recruiting dentists to work where they can't live. How does the housing situation in Cornwall affect you? https://t.co/1ToklYvdN0 — PolitiTweet.org

I have been working to improve access to NHS dentists in Cornwall since before the pandemic – now it's more urgent. We've set up a working group of dentists, public health experts and NHS staff to tackle the waiting lists. Our first priority is improving children’s oral health. https://t.co/XCOCzMnU5Y — PolitiTweet.org

Cornwall has always had a concentration of creativity usually only found in cities. The rules of the prestigious City of Culture award have been changed, and areas that aren’t cities can apply – and Cornwall is the obvious choice. I joined all Cornwall's MPs to support the bid. https://t.co/EyhkK9cfpM — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve asked Cornwall Council’s Enforcement Team to take action against the breaches of planning permission at Tredavoe. We can’t rely on reinstatement: mature trees cannot be reinstated. The government's planning reforms need to help councils take fast and effective action. https://t.co/RMs7YzdIK7 — PolitiTweet.org

Until the Home Secretary renews the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme - and includes the harvesting of daffodils and other ornamentals - I will continue to raise the issue whenever the opportunity arises. https://t.co/kmtk9Fg3fl — PolitiTweet.org

In yesterday’s Select Committee for Food and Rural Affairs, we discussed Henry Dimbleby's report into a National Food Strategy. We need a strategy to guarantee our food supply, support our farmers and fishermen, and improve the nutritional value of food without driving up prices. https://t.co/vOsLdAQCKt — PolitiTweet.org

MPs debated the vaccination of 12-15 year olds today. I spoke up for schools who are stuck in the middle of this debate, as well as paying tribute to the fantastic staff at St Clare medical centre. https://t.co/AeExN7KPMv — PolitiTweet.org

My thoughts on the reshuffle: some great appointments, but for Cornwall the most important is Michael Gove. We now have one of the most senior ministers in the Cabinet in charge of addressing regional inequalities. and delivering 300,000 homes a year. https://t.co/H7k7Cdjlmj — PolitiTweet.org

On #BackBritishFarmingDay I told the Commons about Cornwall’s need for workers to pick daffodils. Last year, 274 million stems went unpicked. So far, the SAWS pilot schemes have only covered edible crops - it must be extended to our daffodil crops. https://t.co/vtBlNmFIUV — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I teamed up with @DanCardenMP to ask for a debate on alcohol harm. We are leading a cross-party group of MPs demanding the Government take action on the problems caused by alcohol abuse. It's an urgent problem – last year saw a 20% increase in deaths due to alcohol. https://t.co/zRWTMXKi84 — PolitiTweet.org

It was good to hear the Health Secretary confirm that vaccine passports won't be introduced. I'm one of a number of MPs who have written to ministers to say that we would never support that divisive and unnecessary step. https://t.co/XcN5T8brji — PolitiTweet.org

Penzance Driving Centre is still only open two days a week, and I'm escalating matters to the Transport Minister. Baroness Vere says a new examiner could be allocated from Camborne at the end of the summer - but that's not good enough for our learner drivers. https://t.co/xlCwX3trws — PolitiTweet.org

It’s the time of year when we all try to steer clear of the A30 – so it’s a good time to update you on our plans for the road between Camborne and Penzance. I’ve been working with town and parish councils to present a Case for Action to Highways England https://t.co/NUzWJqKzAn — PolitiTweet.org

Traditional apprenticeships require a year’s worth of unbroken employment, so sectors with project-based or flexible work have been unable to benefit. That’s why the government’s new fund to support Flexi-job Apprenticeships is so important. https://t.co/NlO6EusZ2P — PolitiTweet.org

This week, the UK begins delivering nine million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine to the most vulnerable parts of the world. This is only the first batch of the 100 million doses we’ve pledged already, and is over and above the overseas development target of 0.5% of national income. https://t.co/mha9HPOsug — PolitiTweet.org
