This sounds like a good idea, but total extraction depends on the economics once the new dynamics of oil supply settle down. Either way, billions will be generated in tax revenue from new extraction. We must use that to roll out carbon capture & storage. https://t.co/oCGPQDwoYe — PolitiTweet.org

Sale to a foreign buyer seeking to influence British politics, or streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon, risks creating a monopoly in the media. — PolitiTweet.org

Selling off #Channel4 may be sensible, raising money to fund TV training and production. But we must be careful who we sell it to. https://t.co/fLCcda2uC9 — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday I wrote for the @Daily_Express on how we can only hit Net Zero with carbon capture and storage. The @IPCC_CH have today come to the same conclusion, and called for greater use of carbon capture and storage. The Government must now listen. https://t.co/L9cpiA5GXX — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

If we want to get to Net Zero, we have to invest in North Sea oil and gas as well as nuclear power in order to fund the necessary carbon capture. As prices soar, it’s time for decisive action from the government to secure our energy future. Read my piece for the Sunday Express: https://t.co/qFkraATKXm — PolitiTweet.org

“Acquiring a reputation for being the high-tax party will do every bit as much damage to the Conservative Party as the ERM crisis did to us in the 1990s.” Me quoted in today’s @ObserverUK: https://t.co/KXiUpq7DuY — PolitiTweet.org

This may not be a wise decision. Free trade is, of course, enormously important. However, the events of the last two years have shown that we cannot afford to allow any one nation to have control over the whole supply chain in critical industries. https://t.co/vG0UjTEHLe — PolitiTweet.org

Many people are anxious about changes to Covid testing in care homes. Care home transmission has serious public health implications, so perhaps it is best to give care homes free LFTs. They can then hand them out to visitors to use before they come into contact with residents. — PolitiTweet.org

As I warned in the House of Commons, cuts to foreign aid will cause at least 100,000 deaths so making further cuts to fund crises in Ukraine and Afghanistan will cause even more deaths in already unstable parts of Africa and the Middle East. https://t.co/u3y1BOvIWV — PolitiTweet.org

I spoke to @JuliaHB1 on @talkRADIO about how Brexit delivered an opportunity to the UK. It gave us the chance to set our own policies and go our own way. You can see it in everything from vaccines to taxes. And it's also clear from our world-leading role in supporting Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

These include but are not limited to small group tactics. There are many implications for Ukraine - but a smaller army is not one of them. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Ukraine isn't fighting so well just because small units are best. The Ukrainian general staff have analysed Russian tactics in Chechnya, Syria, Georgia, Crimea and the Donbas and applied the lessons. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Ukraine has a peacetime force of some 209,000 active military personnel. The figure for the British armed forces is just 138,500. As a proportion of population, that's roughly 0.5% for Ukraine and 0.2% for the UK. https://t.co/Brnf2Vz9JR — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Armed forces minister James Heappey says the war in Ukraine justifies cuts to the British Army. Apparently, 'small bands of determined people' are more effective in battle. Heappey will be aware Ukraine's armed forces are actually *bigger* than the UK's. https://t.co/EoM0oGX11x — PolitiTweet.org

This is long overdue. It's about time we took direct action against those henchmen of Putin who are operating out of the UK. https://t.co/0DCH8YiSnt — PolitiTweet.org

There is much to welcome in this white paper but in my view technology is the most important element. In the coming years we can foster a revolution in the classroom by augmenting learning with AI, without replacing teachers, to help failing pupils catch up and keep up. — PolitiTweet.org

It is true that the European Council has now agreed to a proposed directive allowing lower rates of VAT for solar panels, though it is not yet ratified. Nonetheless, it is good to see the EU finally adopting measures it prevented the UK from introducing years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

For instance, the ECJ ruled in 2015 that Britain’s five per cent rate for solar panels contravened EU law. The British Government was then required to change its rate and charge the vast majority of people the full 20 percent. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The Chancellor is right to point out that, because of Brexit, Parliament can choose independently to remove VAT from solar panels and other home energy improvements. https://t.co/5CBqEfyTiA — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

This is a sensible policy that will bring to heel some of those working for Putin and his henchmen. https://t.co/vd3gofKfew — PolitiTweet.org

Given this, Suella Braverman should be considering if she needs a new director of the SFO. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

There have been a number of serious mistakes leading to lost or quashed cases, and the Serious Fraud Office made a poor decision to palm off the Michael Lynch case to the Americans when the British judicial system could have dealt with it. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

In light of this decision, it is time to consider whether Lisa Osofsky has any future leading the Serious Fraud Office. https://t.co/WSXRNVBFnw — PolitiTweet.org

It was a pleasure to attend this week's event in Westminster marking World Down Syndrome Day, where I spoke with some of the inspirational ambassadors. All efforts to achieve full equality and respect for people with Down Syndrome have my full support. https://t.co/ypFw134jZq — PolitiTweet.org

And I am glad that @RishiSunak has finally unveiled a road to cutting tax. I will look forward to standing alongside him and our @Conservatives Party in 2024, on a platform that promises the first cut in income tax for 16 years. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

One of my remaining concerns is that I do not believe the Bank of England's forecast on inflation is reliable. It seems to me we could be living with high inflation for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

As @johnredwood points out, the deficit for the current financial year is running almost £26 billion below forecast, and overall the deficit is an enormous £75 billion below where HMT initially thought it would be. So we can easily afford these changes. https://t.co/4RedAYyX71 — PolitiTweet.org
