@Kateannelove @BorisJohnson As the PM himself said at PMQs earlier, the death of George Floyd was appalling. I write this with a 'Black Lives Matter' march through Parliament Square in ear shot, and I do understand why people have been so shocked. — PolitiTweet.org

@robjlinds @BorisJohnson You've specifically called on the PM to 'loosen planning restrictions for onshore wind and solar'. In which villages in your Division would you like to see new wind turbines or solar farms? — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@robjlinds @BorisJohnson Can I confirm you'd be happy for new wind and solar farms to be built in your Division? — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

V pleased that @BorisJohnson committed to a "green recovery" at #PMQs earlier today. Lots of progress already happening in this area & we are currently in a 54 day run without coal-fired power, the longest period since 1882. — PolitiTweet.org

For my first question back in Parliament today I was pleased to highlight the excellent work of our local NHS, partnering with the independent sector to deliver crucial extra capacity. @ESNEFT https://t.co/Md45bnimLb — PolitiTweet.org

@eyowlet I have had contact in one case like that where I am in correspondence. People using abusive language are not usually constituents, but if I block a constituent and they think it unreasonable they are welcome to email me: [email protected] — PolitiTweet.org

@TechnoTim2011 @SueCassells I don't, but my default is to cycle to the next village and get the train. Unfortunately the health advice at present is to avoid this where possible, so there are health arguments both ways. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@eyowlet Generally it's for using foul or abusive language, or otherwise being offensive. I wouldn't respond to correspondence containing foul language. — PolitiTweet.org

@TimRichmond3 We can work from home, but it's far from optimal. Children can be taught from home, but the same applies. So it's about coming back here and finding an effective way to work with social distancing. It will take a willingness to adapt as these are long established arrangements. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@TerrySmyth4 We've had more email then ever so we've been busy working from home but not in our normal place of work. I think you know what I mean. — PolitiTweet.org

@barrycagreen @moxeyns If you pair, you don't vote. This is a long established practice agreed through the 'usual channels', i.e. cross-party Whips' agreement, that ensures those absent are cancelled out and neither side has an advantage. Standard stuff, but obviously not a standard context. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@SueCassells I drove, presumably like the people moving your freight around. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@moxeyns The voting process is clearly being adapted and will continue to be. But we have always had 'pairing' for ill MPs, Covid or not, though it's an important point that we are as inclusive as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@TimRichmond3 When I was advocating schools fully reopening, a number of my fan club on twitter asked - would I be going back? Would I send my own children? I said yes to both. If I'd stayed at home plenty would have said 'double standards'. Cannot have it both ways. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

Really good to be back in Parliament, with important statements on HK & Coronavirus. We are asking many constituents to return to work, and schools to adapt so that they can start taking whole year groups. So it's right that we do the same, whilst also adapting our arrangements. — PolitiTweet.org

@MaudeRoxby @LukeMCresswell We are debating these details at 11.30 tomorrow. The important thing is that if we are asking teachers, dentists and others to return to work we should be going in where possible & with appropriate protections in place. — PolitiTweet.org

In my maiden speech, June 2015, I said: "I am a one nation Conservative, and for me that means not going back to the dark & divisive days of high unemployment". Thus, deeply troubling to see the economic impact of Covid, but proud that our furlough scheme has made a difference. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

These have been incredibly difficult times but now: extended families & circles of friends to meet again; schools, shops & dentists reopening; Big Macs & footie back; and Nissan has committed to its Sunderland plant, despite closing factories in Spain. Sun shining, be #positive. — PolitiTweet.org

Really important step forward with the launch of Test and Trace. I believe it's critical we start to reopen - whether that's schools or shops, or the broader economy. But we have to do so safely, avoiding a second peak as far as possible, and this will be a key part of that plan. — PolitiTweet.org

However, I understand this does not include hairdressers yet. But then our strategy has always been about growth rather than cuts. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

I'm also pleased we have more facts on the Cummings situation. Many constituents have emailed on this & I will respond at length as soon as possible. The main thing for the country is that we need to move on, and deliver a safe & successful next phase of lockdown easing (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org
