As a long-standing supporter of non-league & grassroots football it was a real pleasure to attend the opening of @Longmelfordfc brand new clubhouse, a credit to all those involved. https://t.co/MXQfvhmBNs — PolitiTweet.org

In the @EADT24 I joined with Suffolk colleagues to emphasise that levelling up is still a top priority - for Suffolk & the rest of the country. https://t.co/IhAPzBKFxc — PolitiTweet.org

As #CPC22 closes, a real pleasure to attend 4 brilliant panel discussions with @womensaid on domestic abuse & MH; @WeAreBrightBlue on the justice system for victims & how SMEs can help with cost of living; & finally @tenantsandland1 on policies for the rented sector. https://t.co/HoEeg2iotm — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

Thank you @womensaid for inviting me to speak at your really important event on domestic violence & mental health. Inspiring accounts from @MissMalinSara; @DNammi & very interesting discussion with @FarahNazeer & @NimkoAli on how we can make more use of the VCSE sector #VAWG — PolitiTweet.org

Great to catch up with Jamie Burles, MD of @greateranglia at Conservative party conference in Birmingham. Much to discuss from rail strikes, to continued problems with the monitors on the Gainsborough line & agreement to push again for a lift at Marks Tey. https://t.co/MV3HJ3Kcjo — PolitiTweet.org

Delighted that the Chancellor has withdrawn the 45p tax rate proposal. Hopefully we can now focus on the huge help we are giving to households with energy bills, & other positive measures. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

But this does NOT mean that, having lost market support for proposed unfunded tax measures, we try to win that support anew with on-the-back-foot, un-pitchrolled cuts to benefits when the cost of food and staples is rocketing, whilst keeping a tax cut for the wealthiest. (4/4) — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

This does mean, for example, that we need to look urgently at how today's benefits system interacts with work, esp. with the economically inactive. But above all, it means we need a transparent discussion about how on earth we pay for our future health & social care costs. (3/4) — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

Of course, we do need welfare reform - at my South Suffolk selection, asked my top 3 policy priorities I answered 'welfare, welfare, welfare'. I was referring to the fact that the postwar Beveridge settlement, though well motivated, is no longer financially sustainable. (2/4) — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

At my Whatfield surgery yesterday I was asked what I thought of scrapping the 45p tax rate. It’s not right for me to keep my frank answer from other constituents – to be clear, cutting tax for top earners whilst reducing benefits in a cost of living crisis is unacceptable. (1/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Looking ahead to Conference, my top priority is for the govt to use the opportunity to reassure the public. Businesses & households are worried about interest rates & instability. It’s vital Ministers show empathy & reassure us that order will be restored to the public finances. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

Earlier this week I held a roundtable with the NHS and local mental health charities to discuss how they could work together collaboratively. One example is the @greenlighttrust who are working with NSFT to alleviate pressure on the NHS 111 service 📹 https://t.co/yvEUVUpXVW — PolitiTweet.org

The purpose of the meeting was to look at what more we can do to encourage greater collaboration between the NHS & local mental health charities as I promised in my ‘Positive Plan’. https://t.co/W1i42v8QBS — PolitiTweet.org

In my Q to the Chancellor following his statement on Friday, I warned: “He knows that to increase output he needs capacity in the labour market, which is extremely tight, so he will come under huge pressure to loosen immigration rules”. 48 hrs later… — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of important announcements from the Chancellor today, but with energy prices my constituents’ number one priority, it was particularly welcome that he confirmed support with bills for people & firms: For more information 👉 https://t.co/k3jAnVT7hG https://t.co/5D03siIRMI — PolitiTweet.org
