Fascinating visit to @clivewoodfarm, who are breeding alpacas and processing the fleeces into wonderful finished products. Also offering walk experiences and teaching weaving, all open again after Covid restrictions. Great example of a diversified rural North Shropshire business. https://t.co/rGVlXDVyLV — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see Market Drayton's local shops returning to normal after lockdown easing, with several new stores and businesses opening up. Plus, good initiative by @mdtraderscic for a new web portal for shops & consumers backed by #MarketDrayton Town Council. https://t.co/ihFzIi2nHd — PolitiTweet.org

On the eve of the #Tokyo2020 Olympic Games, I wish all at @TeamGB the best of luck, particularly swimmers Freya Anderson, Hector Pardoe and Cassie Wild, all former students at @ellesmerecoll in #NorthShropshire. https://t.co/KkhOzWWQkO — PolitiTweet.org

Good that @DavidGHFrost is reopening talks and sees the harm caused by the NI Protocol, which I didn't back in the final vote. Encouraging that he also sees merit in #MutualEnforcement as proposed by David Trimble which protects Belfast Agreement & EU Single Market. @CentreBrexit — PolitiTweet.org

It is good news for all parties in Northern Ireland that distinguished former EU diplomat Sir @FaullJonathan endorses Mutual Enforcement, the route forward proposed by @NobelPrize winner David Trimble. Mutual Enforcement in detail: https://t.co/ERTns0VTTk https://t.co/MPbFCyHBuV — PolitiTweet.org

Parliament passed an important motion on Thursday but received very little media attention. MPs resolved to sort out Irish border issues & reject the EU's unreasonable manipulation of the Northern Ireland Protocol. Followed by swift pledges from ministers. https://t.co/q2p5R43u66 — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

Oswestry and the Borderlands are wonderful for holidays or short trips, so congrats to @OneOswestry for this promotional video. @OswestryTourism also doing great work supporting tourism business with initiatives including grants from @ShropCouncil and the Govt (BEIS). #Shropshire https://t.co/EViJku6wFf — PolitiTweet.org

"If any power needs speaking truth to (and most do) it is the BBC. It continues to see its licence fee income as its sacred right to do what it wants rather than its sacred duty to deal fairly with the millions who are forced by law to pay." Charles Moore. https://t.co/Jw2nAgSNV5 — PolitiTweet.org

The Midlands Air Ambulance has launched a Craft Club with lots of good summer activities for the whole family to try at home and all in a good cause. @MAA_Charity has performed many valuable air lifts in #Shropshire and is in its 30th anniversary year. https://t.co/qUsEAGgPFM — PolitiTweet.org

Constructive discussion with @EeTelecom 4G suppliers, filling in the last gaps in the network. Constituents continue to be frustrated by poor signal. If your signal drops in N Shropshire please email with the location so I can help build an accurate picture of the problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Very impressive vaccine results from the #NHS in #Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin: 87% of all adults have now had at least one Covid vaccine dose. 638,189 doses (incl 2nd) in total. 67.9% of 18-24s 69.4% 25-29s 77.5% 30-34s 80.5% 35-39s 85.5% 40-44s Congrats to #NHS staff. https://t.co/KJy7GDBCU0 — PolitiTweet.org

Very helpful info on #osteoporosis in my meeting with @RoyalOsteoSoc, highlighting that it causes fractures in half of women over 50 and 20% of men. 2/3rds of resulting spinal fractures undiagnosed. More widespread diagnosis then earlier treatment would prevent deterioration. https://t.co/4qvXmby086 — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see North Shropshire libraries opening up fully post-lockdowns. Staff at @ShropLibraries are encouraging adults & children to return to their local library with a Summer Reads competition: https://t.co/BJ2y7e5urr — PolitiTweet.org

I receive regular correspondence about pain management in healthcare, so this is a useful initiative by @HWShropshire gaining public input to help drive change. I urge people to participate. https://t.co/oBrQkKHCTD — PolitiTweet.org

Well done to #Ellesmere and local arts project Fizzgigs for organising the event, The Magical Plantation, from 25 July and through to August. Plenty of opportunities for people of all ages to get involved. https://t.co/1ixavtfLcn — PolitiTweet.org

Usually we only hear about the January slump in UK food and drink exports to the EU at the end of the Brexit transition, but this chart shows the subsequent recovery to pre-January levels. Via economist @julianHjessop. https://t.co/PAbosJe3Dr — PolitiTweet.org

Northern Ireland has a population <0.5% of the EU's, yet the Protocol creates documentary checks representing 1/5th of the equivalent documentation right across the EU. David Trimble warns that the Belfast Agreement is threatened as the Protocol breaches its principle of content. https://t.co/XiERf4MeYM — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

The Protocol puts Northern Ireland into a very different constitutional place in spite of the #BelfastAgreement's requirement that this may only be done with the consent of the population. It makes economic life more difficult and people's bewilderment is turning to anger. https://t.co/JgZ9oKNvGb — PolitiTweet.org

Owen Paterson @OwenPaterson

In the @HouseofCommons today I said that the Northern Ireland Protocol should be replaced by Mutual Enforcement which respects the EU Single Market and does not breach the Belfast Agreement's key principle of consent as advocated by Lord Trimble. https://t.co/ciu4kI0gGU — PolitiTweet.org

Many congratulations to Chaitanya Kalisetty for setting up Pearls Dental Practice in #Oswestry. A really impressive tour of their state-of-the-art equipment. I look forward to them receiving NHS accreditation so that they can provide services to Oswestry NHS patients. https://t.co/5arZtO8Cdr — PolitiTweet.org

Very informative briefing on Inflammatory Bowel Disease from @TakedaPharma's campaign #500000ReasonsWhy. Approx 31,150 sufferers in West Midlands, 1/2 million in UK. Major impact on people's lives and lifetime care costs for IBD patients are equivalent to cancer & heart disease. https://t.co/c1BpU5nJwc — PolitiTweet.org
