MPs should rightly face severe penalties if they abuse their positions. But before we jump to such conclusions, we need a proper system of justice, which is not what we have today. https://t.co/SShYNmLhIY — PolitiTweet.org

The Government should treat the Covid debt like a war bond. But if we are to do that, then the time is now and we must move quickly. In today's Budget speech I explained why 👇🏻 https://t.co/w150QiuytH — PolitiTweet.org

Today's Alcohol Duty reforms are a sensible & long-awaited overhaul of an overcomplicated system. These changes are only possible outside of the EU The introduction of Draught Relief will also mean a permanent cut of 3p in the cost of a pint in a pub https://t.co/xN1052CbQq — PolitiTweet.org

Today's budget confirms the support to replace dangerous cladding on high-risk buildings. Importantly, developers will be required to pay, not leaseholders. More needs to be done on fire-safety, but this is a welcomed first step. https://t.co/XBGmBH0XSY — PolitiTweet.org

Taking back control was about giving us greater freedoms to be a global Britain. That means stepping into the world and sharing our freedoms, rather than turning our backs on it. That requires fiscal responsibility at home, and strategic thinking abroad. https://t.co/EyZc31LjaY — PolitiTweet.org

I disagree with @novaramedia on most issues. But just as YouTube were wrong to censor me last week, they were wrong to take down Novara's channel. Free speech must be protected and the Government must end the erosion of free speech online. — PolitiTweet.org

The UK and Saudi Arabia are longstanding allies But real concerns exist on their hunting down of Saad al-Jabri and the treatment of Muhammad bin Nayef If the Kingdom's leaders do not stop their deadly medieval feud, we may need to change course https://t.co/xFnqyPSA5K — PolitiTweet.org

Very odd that our secret agencies are allowing a foreign company to handle their data. Hard to imagine a contract that will overrule US laws on giving their agencies access. We may be allies, but I can't see the NSA subcontracting to a British company… https://t.co/k4GcHKK01M — PolitiTweet.org

I note that none of the 17 critical witnesses appear to have been interviewed by the Commissioner. And of course, there is no appeal process, which I would demand for my constituents. https://t.co/4P70DUQE8P — PolitiTweet.org

I am afraid Charles Moore and Owen Paterson make valid points. This system of investigation would not be acceptable for our constituents, as it does not meet the rules of natural justice, or even ACAS rules. https://t.co/FvsUsHYz6q — PolitiTweet.org

You can listen to my party conference speech on vaccine passports here 👇 https://t.co/9kdHkS58qS — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Government research shows vaccine passports could fuel the spread of Covid. This is exactly what I said in my speech at conference. Not only is this policy illiberal, it is incompetent & dangerous. The Government must not introduce these measures. https://t.co/ihvt1X9vGU — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The Government’s own research shows that vaccine passports could actually fuel the spread of Covid-19. This is exactly what I said in my speech at party conference. Not only is this an illiberal policy, but it is incompetent and dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Judicial review is fundamental to individual liberty and a fair and balanced rule of law. The Government’s proposals to restrict judicial review go against these conservative principles. https://t.co/JxnNEOUFEi — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

I requested information on polling used to inform decisions in the pandemic and was blocked from doing so. The desperation of Whitehall to avoid publishing information means we have to ask, what are they trying to hide? https://t.co/dTwl9kBhKm — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

At the Budget, the Chancellor faces a choice: to pursue the politics of the 1970s through a high-tax, low-growth economy that seeks to repay the Covid debt quickly; or the politics of low-tax, high-growth that takes a long-view and allows economic freedom https://t.co/b6ZCiLKJj6 — PolitiTweet.org

We must provide proper assistance to Afghan interpreters attempting to escape Afghanistan. Other countries are helping their supporters and are giving us lessons in how to treat those that have served their country well. https://t.co/D1xIm2vEsi — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

We must stop the erosion of free speech online. This week, YouTube showed in the clearest terms why big tech cannot be trusted to police our free speech. https://t.co/s81eUhEpJ5 — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and staff of Sir David Amess. He was a thoroughly kind and decent man who above all else cared strongly for his constituents and worked hard for them over his distinguished career. We have all lost a good friend. — PolitiTweet.org

The NI protocol goes to the heart of the whole Brexit argument: it is a matter of sovereignty. While progress on trade can be welcomed, ultimately a palatable Brexit won't have been achieved until Northern Ireland is no longer subject to EU law. https://t.co/mfcEEyNm4x — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

This is yet another assault on free speech by YouTube. It is not the first, but I am afraid it is one of the more serious as it tried to suppress what is a serious policy debate in the UK at the moment. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

YouTube removed a video of me speaking about domestic vaccine passports. This is an outrageous attack on free speech. My speech at conference was carefully researched, wholly accurate and backed up with the latest scientific evidence. https://t.co/RkzewUKhNN — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

More generally Whitehall is simply no good at emergency planning, outside the MoD. Time for very serious rethinking, as the report recognises. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Exercises such as these should also prepare for the uncertainties of these events, and cover various sorts of diseases (flu/coronavirus/ebola etc) which it did not do. Our supposed advanced state of readiness was an illusion. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Cygnus was predicated on a situation where the disease was already entrenched, with deaths of up to 400,000 expected. It focussed (badly) on dealing with the consequences of the pandemic, not stopping or preventing it. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Much of this is detailed in the body of the Select Committees' report, and I recommend reading all of it, rather than just the executive summary. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Even if the current pandemic was flu, Cygnus would still have been a misleading exercise. In fact, the whole Cabinet Office Civil Contingencies set-up is not up to the task, and needs dramatic reform. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Today's report on the government's Covid handling is a thorough and valuable study. However, in my view its statement that Operation Cygnus failed because it focussed too much on flu is over emphasised. Cygnus was a poorly organised and misleading exercise. — PolitiTweet.org
