Fantastic to see the work of the team at Shotley Vineyard on their land overlooking Felixstowe. I am proud to have added my support to a parliamentary campaign to provide tax relief for smaller scale vineyards as we develop this burgeoning industry. https://t.co/rJMLO4AogZ — PolitiTweet.org

My @beisgovuk question to @KwasiKwarteng highlighting our clean growth in East Anglia & requesting assurances that the national grid will be ready. https://t.co/tVT3Xqwl9e — PolitiTweet.org

Four great Treasury SC Chair candidates but have decided to support @kevinhollinrake, one of the most approachable & fair minded MPs in HoC. He has real business experience & in campaigning for fairer banking has held the powerful to account on behalf of the powerless. Top bloke. — PolitiTweet.org

@Gumstr We didn’t have thousands of dead from a recent civil war in East Anglia. We have to respect the Good Friday agreement & exceptional circumstances will always prevail in NI. But I am v confident that our region will prosper after Brexit. — PolitiTweet.org

@TimInSuffolk At my 2 Brexit Q&A public meetings I explained my position at length and took questions for an 90 mins explaining my position. The change in the deal is around the CU and in those meetings I explained my support for an independent trade policy, after transition. Hence, my support — PolitiTweet.org

@MaudeRoxby @TimInSuffolk I did listen to him, I was there. I tried to intervene 8 times but he wouldn't take my intervention. No doubt feared I would point out the minor flaw in his argument on alignment that he was arguing you can either be 100% rule taker or Remain, which he knows is a false choice. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

Good reasons here on why, as I’ve also argued, leaving the EU but staying in the Customs Union is not viable even if well intentioned. On the politics, it’s not in the deal & requires renegotiation. Passing such an amendment wrecks our negotiated settlement. Deliberately? — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@Gillybean1961 @mikegalsworthy @EdeDinant @joannaccherry Of course it’s not an ‘organised’ walkout. Proceedings had finished. It’s conventional to leave at the end and not wait for adjournment. Of course, most stay for initial points of order, esp from party leaders, but not beyound that. Only ‘organised’ walkout I’ve seen? The SNP. — PolitiTweet.org

@DupreeGraham I believe you have been selected as your party’s PPC. Congratulations & I look forward to debating these matters with you at the hustings when Corbyn finally u-turns back to his long held position of wanting a general election. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

Fear this is right, if Letwin amendment passes then likely no further votes. Whatever my constituents feel on how we should vote today, they certainly believe & expect we will have a meaningful vote. No meaningful vote will mean a lot of frustrated constituents. — PolitiTweet.org

@wpetre44 @TimInSuffolk You don’t seem to mind when my colleagues are ‘co-opted’ to go against their manifesto promises. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@SuffolkSim Don’t know if you attended but at my two recent Brexit Q&A public debates in Shotley & Lavenham I held public meetings setting out my detailed reasoning at length, then taking questions on my position for an hour & a half. 250+ people. Reasoned consideration in full, in public. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@TimInSuffolk We are not going to go through the pain & cost of the WA just to have WTO at the end of it. As for a ‘confirmatory vote’ there was a general election in 2017 in which every Conservative & Labour MP was elected on manifestos confirming they would respect the 2016 referendum result — PolitiTweet.org

Suez. Falklands. Today. Sitting Saturdays are surely about making history not further dither & delay. On early train & delay avoided so far. Time to be decisive & #GetBrexitDone — PolitiTweet.org

Many residents asked about plans to reduce delays at the Copdock Interchange during my A12/A14 public meeting last week. Yesterday I raised this matter with @Jacob_Rees_Mogg during Business Questions. https://t.co/zmhOhONt5Q — PolitiTweet.org

Out & about in the constituency nearly everyone hoping we #BackTheDeal tomorrow. They know all other options are delay & disruption. I will be voting for the deal in our historic Saturday sitting. Time to move on. — PolitiTweet.org

Very enjoyable visit to @RHSSuffolk this afternoon. https://t.co/plpKQCHPPf — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

I very much welcome this review of school transport policy from SCC. I have focused on supporting parents with appeals, but flaws remain in the overall policy e.g. treatment of siblings. I will be writing to Mark Hardingham ASAP to set out my concerns. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@jpjanson Sorry, but you can't close a coal mine without closing a coal mine. Nobody, as I said in the chamber, would want to revisit that upheaval. But there is no escaping the fact that so much of our emission reduction has come from an action that other Governments might not have done. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@jpjanson Do you think we should have kept the coal mines open? — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I intervened on @patel4witham during the Queen's Speech debates to raise my concerns about the young age at which some individuals are becoming involved in county lines activities. https://t.co/bu5G1yGu6e — PolitiTweet.org

Delighted to hear the UK & EU have reached terms enabling us to vote for a #BrexitDeal on Saturday. An opportunity to finally move forward as a country. Great stuff! — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

These are shocking scenes. Later in the Commons I hope to speak in the ‘Climate emergency’, today’s theme in the Queen’s Speech debate. We can do this the civilised way, through reasoned argument & legislation, without putting lives at risk & causing massive disruption. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@Gillybean1961 As said, and as I think you know, I didn't 'laugh at' your question as I do see your point I just tried to inject levity into the proceedings by referring to the fact that the public are debating these matters all the time in public houses. — PolitiTweet.org

James Cartlidge MP 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @jcartlidgemp

@barrycagreen A very good point. I have also made this point repeatedly and it's why we need to be open with the facts in the debate about immigration. — PolitiTweet.org
