I was delighted to be elected as Co-Chair of @OceanAPPG. In my first meeting, we looked at the benefits the Ocean has for our health and wellbeing – and heard from some excellent speakers on the importance of ocean recreation. https://t.co/lE0wV8PHst — PolitiTweet.org

I have been campaigning for greater awareness of alcohol misuse. It’s crazy that we’re banning adverts for junk food before the 9pm watershed, but adverts for alcohol are still allowed. This week I helped launch a new report on alcohol advertising - https://t.co/WdBcqatXQl https://t.co/Rtk7MobMUI — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the last day to complete National Highways’ survey about their road investment strategy. They have already received a lot of feedback about the need to upgrade the A30 west of Camborne, but we need to make sure that everyone’s voice is heard. https://t.co/PWhqlOYhkn https://t.co/gAn6gEFH9O — PolitiTweet.org

We need to change the conversation about those who suffer the physical, social and mental harm that results from alcohol misuse. Covid has accelerated these harms. The number of adults drinking at high-risk nearly doubled between February and June 2020. https://t.co/D4zoGIO88b — PolitiTweet.org

Across the world, people are persecuted for their religious beliefs – bullied, arrested, jailed, expelled and executed. Today in Parliament I asked the government to show global leadership on promoting freedom of religion and belief. https://t.co/bzVzCEbB9z — PolitiTweet.org

This week’s Climate Focus event is about “Doughnut Economics” – how we find the balance between people’s needs and the environment. Manda Brookman, Climate and Ecological Lead for Volunteer Cornwall, will be showing us what this means for West Cornwall. https://t.co/EqT3vJfFVh — PolitiTweet.org

We use 11 billion wet wipes in the UK every year, and 90% of them contain plastic. They are behind 93% of blockages in British sewers, and when the plastic breaks down into microplastics it damages the marine environment. I support @PutneyFleur’s Bill to #banplasticinwetwipes https://t.co/bsDIKangCC — PolitiTweet.org

The only disappointment in the budget was that it didn't include funding for the Stadium for Cornwall. But the Chancellor reaffirmed his commitment to matching EU funding, as well as many measures that will help many families in Cornwall and on Scilly. https://t.co/NuxU3zZ5XX — PolitiTweet.org

Today the COP26 conference opened in Glasgow. As the Prime Minister's speech said, “While COP26 will not be the end of climate change it can and it must mark the beginning of the end.” The United Kingdom is showing true global leadership on the transition to a carbon-free future. https://t.co/OWXYgFYqgM — PolitiTweet.org

Brain tumours kill more children and young adults than any other type of cancer, but they are still little-known by the public and not fully understood by scientists. I’m pleased to join the international effort to raise awareness of this devastating form of cancer. https://t.co/XZCCfO1ATE — PolitiTweet.org

The Transport Secretary @grantshapps on Scilly's new transport links - levelling up West Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The Government recognises that upgrades will help people on Scilly and the mainland, bringing jobs and opportunities to the region. https://t.co/c1KV2TU0Rw — PolitiTweet.org

Our biggest health challenge is now from conditions which haven’t been getting the necessary support. Over half of those people living with Multiple Sclerosis said their conditions got worse because they could not get specialist support during the pandemic. #NeurologyNow https://t.co/AEEe6asVg4 — PolitiTweet.org

The Chancellor has just announced £48.4million for the seagoing link between Penzance and Scilly. This is levelling… https://t.co/LBDysJ4P31 — PolitiTweet.org

Cornwall’s schools are already leading the way on teaching children about climate change, and this morning I told MPs about the work in Mullion, Mounts Bay and Nancledra. We have a head start, but climate education is vital for Cornwall’s green economy. https://t.co/D0VbohJkkj — PolitiTweet.org

This is a victory for those of us who stood firm, and a testament to the government's ambitions with the Environment Bill. https://t.co/Effh4NsVdr — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
The Budget is tomorrow, but we’ve already heard that the Chancellor is going to increase the National Living Wage to £9.50 an hour. We are now moving beyond the pandemic, and into the high-skill, high-wage economy where everyone gets the pay they deserve. https://t.co/1cv1bK7nOl — PolitiTweet.org

We need the same kind of urgent close working we saw at the start of the pandemic, across NHS, Cornwall Council and elected representatives as myself, to make sure we can resolve this immediate issue, and to transform the health and care sector for the future. — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
This is a crisis in our health and care system as a whole, not just at the Emergency Department – there are still far too many beds occupied by patients who could and should have been moved on to more suitable settings – and the whole system needs support. — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
This morning the MPs for Cornwall met Edward Argar, the Health Minister, to call for more support for Treliske. Treliske is facing more demand this week than at any point during the pandemic, and its operational level has been escalated to an “internal critical incident”. https://t.co/mGOZRQcfge — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
The Environment Bill is the most ambitious environment legislation in the world. But last night I voted against the Government in relation to storm overflows as the proposed legislation does not go far enough. I voted for the swimmers, surfers and wildlife of West Cornwall. https://t.co/ulBrCqT7gI — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
The revised plans make an even stronger case for the Stadium for Cornwall. This isn’t just about sport – although our elite football and rugby will play there – but about bringing a whole range of benefits for Cornwall. https://t.co/Clzys85S5e — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
Heating buildings accounts for 21% of the UK's carbon emissions, and we urgently need change to achieve Net Zero. Today’s Heat and Buildings Strategy is a great step forward, but it must ensure that fuel-poor households can cover the upfront costs. https://t.co/Wq6nBrgiV3 — PolitiTweet.org

If you live on the Lizard, you will have received a survey about what your community’s priorities. Whether it’s housing, schools, shops, playgrounds – what makes a community? The closing date for the survey is Wednesday (tomorrow) – so please send it in! https://t.co/GZythSV0Xk — PolitiTweet.org

And National Highways say that its Investment Strategy for 2025-30 – in which an upgrade to the A30 could be included – will show that roads can be built in a carbon-neutral way. There’s still time to add your voice for a carbon-neutral upgrade at https://t.co/PWhqlOYhkn — PolitiTweet.org

Some industries will find it harder to reach net-zero than others. But at last week's Climate Focus event, @MelsGoodSpace from Spaceport Cornwall showed how the space industry could be sustainable. You can watch her presentation at https://t.co/kCy8MVwbZO — PolitiTweet.org

Chy Sawel is a brilliant local charity that raises awareness of new approaches to treating mental illness. It is holding an online event on Saturday to discuss Nutrition, Diet, and Mental Health in the 21st century. Find out more at https://t.co/bY3LiUvo53 https://t.co/W5pQKAlo7D — PolitiTweet.org

Can the space race ever be green? That’s the question Melissa Thorpe, head of Spaceport Cornwall, will be answering at tomorrow’s Climate Focus event. Can Cornwall’s space industry continue to grow while still achieving net-zero carbon emissions? — PolitiTweet.org

National Highways have told us they understand the need for upgrading the A30 between Hayle and Penzance. But they need to see more evidence of public support - please take 5 minutes to fill in the attached survey: https://t.co/PWhqlOYhkn — PolitiTweet.org

Cornwall's space sector is thriving: look at Goonhilly Earth Station and now Spaceport Cornwall. But can our ambitions be squared with the environment?
