Pleased to join forces with @pritipatel to push for step-free access at Marks Tey train station - an important connection for my Sudbury based commuters. https://t.co/15RM3qRVjr — PolitiTweet.org

Strong polling for @RishiSunak with the public. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

Such a grid would have many benefits to set against the cost, something NG’s report doesn’t even attempt – interconnectivity for export; protection of rural communities; future-proofing etc. 8/8 — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

Therefore, we need an open minded independent expert to produce a meaningful report on a credible offshore alternative – not just to carry 6GW, but be the building blocks of an East Anglian offshore grid. 7/8 — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

But with NG’s reluctance to consult on offshore at all & their claims – now withdrawn – of having consulted on offshore in June, it’s clear that we cannot trust information they produce on offshore options. 6/8 — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

This detail, defective as it is, should have accompanied the original consultation. We shouldn’t have had to drag NG kicking & screaming to produce it – and they should never have said it would ‘definitely’ show an offshore option was not viable. It doesn’t. 5/8 — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

But that is if you take National Grid’s estimate at face value. In fact, as I predicted would happen when we debated this in July, NG have simply created a ‘straw man’ proposal: 4/8 https://t.co/0lObdbe0S4 — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

Constituents in East Anglia are bill payers too. They deserve to know why such costings are ok in the north but not in the East – & why National Grid won’t even give them a fair say. 3/8 — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

National Grid are rejecting offshore options on this basis in East Anglia, but proceeding in the north, despite the latter being around a third more expensive per GW. 2/8 — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

National Grid’s estimate of offshore alternatives to pylons in East Anglia is £3.1bn for 6GW – compared to £3.4bn for 4GW via the offshore Eastern Link from Scotland to Yorkshire. 1/8 https://t.co/Oc6Pj2rbwN — PolitiTweet.org

I'm backing @RishiSunak to be our next PM. The national interest requires a leader with a track record of handling a tough economic situation - just like Rishi did in the pandemic. He can restore stability & bring in talent from across the party to deliver a brighter future. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

Extraordinary events today. It's a matter of record I had strong views on Liz Truss's economic policies, but I never doubted her motivations; she wanted the best for the UK. In extraordinary circumstances, she left today with a brave statement that will have been tough to deliver — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

Thanks @MartinSLewis - a total focus on inflation is needed to help address the cost of living head on & that means every lever pulling in the same direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Lovely to meet them both, brilliant ideas to help those less fortunate! — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

Regarding how we cope with future health spending pressures, I believe that we need to build a more diverse healthcare system, with a greater role for the independent sector - which will help cut backlogs more quickly. https://t.co/izM62YM7uZ — PolitiTweet.org

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Hilly Ridge Alpacas in Wattisham who offer 🦙 trekking experiences with beautiful views of South Suffolk - a great boost to tourism in our local area.
