Appalling that David has died. He was one of the nicest people in Parliament and hugely supportive of his colleagues. He was a tremendous spokeman for Southend West. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. — PolitiTweet.org

Terrible news coming out of Southend. David Amess is widely liked and respected. He is an unfailing champion of his constituents. MPs should be able to do their jobs in safety. My thoughts are with him, his family and his friends. — PolitiTweet.org

Best of luck to the Mayor of Oswestry, my colleague and friend Mark Jones, ahead of his fundraising run in the #Oswestry10k. https://t.co/ySZZsvGth4 — PolitiTweet.org

Good to discuss suicide prevention at the first ever AGM of the @STW_ICS. Very good to see all health and care partners in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin commit to complete @Zer0Suicide training by end of 2021. — PolitiTweet.org

Good news that another 650 homes in #Ellesmere & #Oswestry are receiving superfast broadband as a result of Government funding. Part of a project funded by @DefraGovUK and delivered on behalf of @ShropCouncil. Much still to do on #Shropshire connectivity. https://t.co/VJr6A6UT6x — PolitiTweet.org

A great honour for us to welcome the Princess Royal to #Oswestry to visit and speak to staff at @Aico_Limited. Aico, a market leader in fire and CO alarms, are a stunning showcase business & were exceptional hosts. They have also done great work locally including apprenticeships. — PolitiTweet.org

Very sad news about Trevor Hemmings. A remarkable man. An extraordinarily successful businessman, philanthropist & racehorse owner winning #GrandNational 3 times. He was a huge supporter of what my late wife Rose was doing at Aintree. Thoughts to all his close family & friends. — PolitiTweet.org

Just Ask A Question is a great mental health initiative by Danny Gray of @JAAQOFFICIAL now backed by @campbellclaret. It allows people with mental health questions to seek helpful answers from skilled professionals. https://t.co/Il0ZSS5TNU #JAAQ — PolitiTweet.org

I’m so sorry to hear of the death of my colleague James Brokenshire who has died far too young. A former Northern Ireland Secretary who was widely liked and respected across the political divide. We are all thinking of his wife, their children, family and friends. https://t.co/T3yWyv3jo8 — PolitiTweet.org

On #NationalPoetryDay, North Shropshire has a proud heritage in poetry, from Wilfred Owen to 13-year-old Amelia Blackledge of @PackwoodHaugh School whose poetry book Different Angles was published this year. https://t.co/71oUmH1OJP — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing US results on depression therapies which arose from epilepsy research. The ‘pacemaker’ analogy fits with the fact that suicidal depression is sometimes termed a ‘heart-attack’ of the brain. https://t.co/BUYBT4jNzL — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

“The Government’s first moves towards allowing gene editing, now that we are free from the EU’s stifling restrictions on it, while welcome, are frustratingly hesitant.” @mattwridley asks why we are wasting this Brexit opportunity – we must get on with it. https://t.co/KanxabtFkn — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Nobel Prize-winner Norman Borlaug saved a billion lives with crop improvement methods, but still faced opposition from campaign groups. As my article in @FarmersGuardian says, beneficial gene-editing must overcome similar obstacles today. https://t.co/861FzmHHJ0 — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Clear answer to my question from @DavidGHFrost at the @CentreBrexit fringe event, providing a timetable for progress on the damaging Northern Ireland Protocol. As he says, we must move rapidly. Video of his answer here: https://t.co/6Z3ZGCMlQv — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Useful to visit @alzheimerssoc, campaigning for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease which can help sufferers and families gain the most benefit from treatment and intervention. https://t.co/tRN3YiUp58 — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Good to speak to the NFU’s Tom Bradshaw. We agree that the UK needs to embrace the opportunities presented by gene editing and other emerging technologies in agriculture. https://t.co/z3UPY9vJvT — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Good to speak to @guidedogs exactly 90 years since the first guide dogs were trained & matched to owners. The charity is understandably concerned about e-scooters – simple rule changes such as warning noises could improve safety for blind people. #scootaware #guidedogs90 https://t.co/7SkBXaBQpv — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Impressive work by @mariecurieuk working to support cancer patients and their families, including the more than 500 people who will be diagnosed with cancer this year in North Shropshire. Marie Curie UK is also backing new research and flagging improvements in care. https://t.co/vQzZfUhWRP — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

I pledged to help end the untold heartbreak of cardiovascular disease with British Heart Foundation. Screening using low-cost modern techniques could have a dramatic effect, especially for those with inherited risk. Well done to @TheBHF, backing excellent trials in this area. https://t.co/LVkU3EWK5Y — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Good to speak to @FalklandsRepUK Richard Hyslop. 40th anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands next year. Falklands have an important role re Antarctica and security. Still much to resolve on fishing. https://t.co/WxR7ECRIyw — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Good to talk at @BrugesGroup event in Manchester. We should be pleased that we got Brexit done, but we absolutely must replace NI Protocol which means that 1.9m people still have EU laws imposed upon them. We must also rapidly embrace Brexit opportunities eg trade & gene editing. https://t.co/IvPg9zJctU — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Great to host @DavidGHFrost at @CentreBrexit's Manchester event. He stated a clear plan and timetable to replace the current NI Protocol which is not working. Government has clear intention to put this right. — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Very encouraging to hear @DavidGHFrost’s resolve. He is right that the Northern Ireland Protocol is not working and is creating instability. Cross-party support has collapsed. Without significant change, the Government will act and trigger Article 16. https://t.co/iZx6cfuXNf — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

I look forward to hosting @DavidGHFrost at 16.00 today at the @CentreBrexit event in Manchester in which we will discuss the Northern Ireland Protocol and the damage that it is doing. https://t.co/FwXs8y9CDa — PolitiTweet.org

Good to catch up with @DerwenCollege providing quality vocational training & independent support for young people with SEND. Continuing to do remarkable work. Congrats for winning Specialist Educational Provider in the #TESFEAwards & @TeachingAwards for sports & performing arts. https://t.co/CwuGYm5cK4 — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Good to visit Oswestry Cricket Club @OswestryCC and hear about membership and activities. Encouraging to see the club opening up for several local groups eg a weekly Armed Forces and veterans’ drop-in every Tues 10.00 - 12.00 with @SSAFAShropshire. https://t.co/Z5I6mmiKCa — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Many who were furloughed are now back at work, but Govt has launched a £500m Household Support Fund for those who still need assistance. In #NorthShropshire this will be distributed by @ShropCouncil. https://t.co/OCGmaYGM9C — PolitiTweet.org
