"Anybody with any common sense could see that this process has been handled shockingly badly. The person suspected of breaching rules should be interviewed and witnesses spoken to before any decision" - my daughter's view on the Standards Committee report. https://t.co/bTvrz19iKS — PolitiTweet.org

"When Ms Stone refused to see witnesses, the committee should have instructed her to see them or interviewed witnesses themselves. They did not. For this failure alone, the case would have been struck down had it gone to court for review." - @DavidDavisMP. https://t.co/4NFTH9x5vM — PolitiTweet.org

Essential reading from Charles Moore explaining some of the wider implications of the Standards Committee case against me. https://t.co/ZDuuXBYIE2 — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Excellent news that the Transport Secretary @grantshapps sees the strength of the case we made for reopening the #Oswestry-Gobowen line and that he shares the enthusiasm we all have for it locally. Funding will turn the hard work of @CambrianChr volunteers into reality. https://t.co/P7DE3CVpt1 — PolitiTweet.org

Not often that being called ‘bone idol’ is a compliment, but see the spelling and I know as a former patient at @RJAH_NHS that surgeon Gillian Cribb thoroughly deserves the honour. #Shropshire https://t.co/uu7tzUZ72f — PolitiTweet.org

Great chance for a community representative with good local knowledge to get involved in the Future #Oswestry Group. Well done to @OneOswestry, @ShropCouncil & @OswestryTC for ensuring that residents, charities, businesses & volunteers are all heard. https://t.co/hDtwMm7Q4C — PolitiTweet.org

Delighted that the application to the Ideas Fund has been approved and is on track to progress to the next stage. I look forward to working with @chhcalling to restore the railway between Oswestry and Gobowen. A great team effort. @RishiSunak https://t.co/a1SMGLzRWZ — PolitiTweet.org

The tone of misreporting was also totally inappropriate. We should not be referring to MPs as ‘scum’ at any time, especially only a week after the horrific murder of Sir David Amess. — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

The aims of the amendment are in any case already delivered through measures in the Environment Bill and existing law. We in fact voted to achieve by realistic and affordable means the same end that campaigners want. My full statement: https://t.co/lXtWMrTQ2P — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

The Environment Bill actually reduces harm from storm overflows incl new enforcement & monitoring tools for @EnvAgency which supervises river cleanliness. The amendment I opposed contained uncosted & unrealistic ideas which would have actually diverted sewage to roads in towns.… — PolitiTweet.org

into rivers. I have worked for years to solve this problem nationally and locally in Shropshire. As Defra Secretary of State, I advanced and ensured the progress of the £4.2bn Thames Tideway super sewer to stop 39 million tonnes of sewage overflows annually. … — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

The misreporting of recent votes in Parliament on sewage & rivers would be comical if it weren't so dangerously inflammatory. [Thread] When we voted on storm overflows, we did not make it easier for companies to dump sewage in rivers. I am strongly opposed to sewage overflows… — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see progress on the roadworks which make the neighbouring innovation park possible. The new Mile End roundabout is also dual carriageway compatible, making it the first major step towards dualling the A5.

Many congratulations to @balfourbeatty for raising £3,000 for @severnhospice by holding a barbecue on the Mile End roundabout construction site. https://t.co/cRx1tGjLRZ — PolitiTweet.org

Great to visit Ashwood in #Oswestry and share the enthusiasm of residents. Ashwood is a supported housing scheme from @WrekinHG offering independent living for over-65s. I look forward to a similar facility opening in Paul’s Moss, Whitchurch. https://t.co/pRh65OARpn — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Really interesting visit to Cloverley Hall near #Whitchurch with its remarkable Victorian building & peaceful grounds. Offers residential courses, counselling & bereavement support. Also a location for church retreats in beautiful #Shropshire countryside. https://t.co/RpWqO8WUqk https://t.co/iaAdANOl9P — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations and thanks to @KieranDavies21 for organising a brilliant charity football match at @tnsfc Park Hall Stadium, raising funds for @MindCharity and @RPatersonTrust. More than £8,000 in donations. https://t.co/kse3NFE8ta — PolitiTweet.org

Really important that people who are offered a Covid booster take it up. New evidence shows that the booster reduces risk of symptomatic infection by >95%. Defence against Covid is greatly enhanced. NHS in #Shropshire has an excellent vaccination record, vital we keep that going. https://t.co/sNVWY09LOF — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @BeltonCheese of #Whitchurch North Shropshire for their great success at the @iCheeseAwards. 23 golds, 17 silvers, 13 bronzes & 5 trophies, plus National Westminster Trophy 10th year in a row for the most show points. A great ambassador for #Shropshire quality. https://t.co/OttSAGwntR — PolitiTweet.org

Great to visit Palethorpes in #MarketDrayton to see their new Christmas range. A major employer in the town since 1967, lots of innovative products. Good to hear from @leannemassey17 about major investment plans in 2022 incl many new jobs at the company's modern production site. https://t.co/uSPHzytKBp — PolitiTweet.org

.@Rothamsted’s Prof @JohnathanNapie1 has developed an omega3-enhanced camelina crop. Huge scope to boost omega3 in farmed fish & give UK farmers a new crop, while reducing damage to marine ecology. But it cannot happen without Govt regulatory framework for proper GM field trials. https://t.co/ObcLJHNCni — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Fascinating tour of @Rothamsted. Researchers @RaffanSarah and @Halford1Nigel have made low-asparagine wheat which reduces the risk of carcinogenic acrylamide in toast. A great research success, but Govt must let the public benefit by allowing field trials & commercial production. https://t.co/lxeisFcW14 — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see @ShropCouncil starting this local mobile service. It can be difficult for people in remote rural villages to ask questions or access services, so I look forward to more locations and dates being announced after the current trial. — PolitiTweet.org

I would urge everyone to read this wonderful heartfelt tribute to Sir David Amess from his former employee. The idea that we should 'start with kindness' is an important one. https://t.co/U2PLSoHHap — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Such a moving message from Sir David's family. He was 'strong and courageous', 'a patriot and a man of peace'. Still so much he wanted to do. Family have asked people to support his campaign for a memorial to Dame Vera Lynn in Southend. https://t.co/z5trB3Rn7G — PolitiTweet.org
