If the European Union intends to appropriate all the valuable intellectual property from Horizon, we should cancel our involvement immediately. And set up a competitor project, perhaps with the Swiss, or the Commonwealth. https://t.co/83MIaDxdJJ — PolitiTweet.org

I am getting constituency cases where the health authorities seem to want to apply Do Not Resuscitate orders to patients simply on the basis of age. That seems to me to be wrongheaded, antiquated and a solely budget driven judgement. — PolitiTweet.org

I do not understand why there is a grace period on fining people for coming into the country without taking required coronavirus tests. Any action against them should be taken immediately. https://t.co/DKFeXa9IOH — PolitiTweet.org

The Government has had successes and failures when it comes to handling the COVID-19 pandemic. Lessons must be learned promptly if we are to improve our resilience to fight future health emergencies. My piece for @ConHome today 👇 https://t.co/Dd22l2ruJA — PolitiTweet.org

The real aim of certification is to coerce people to get vaccinated. This is wrong. Vaccination should be a free choice. — PolitiTweet.org

It is trying to use certification to solve a problem that is not there. Most vaccines dramatically reduce the risk of serious illness and death from Covid to near zero. This transforms the requirements of any strategy to deal with the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

It is beginning to look like the Government has already made up its mind on vaccine passports, before concluding the consultation and looking at all of the evidence. https://t.co/oEowFnWQ7d — PolitiTweet.org

After the Act was passed, the West Africa Squadron patrolled international waters to stop slave ships. It involved 36 vessels, over 4,000 British sailors and saved nearly 200,000 lives. It was the first chapter in the British Navy's history against the international slave trade. — PolitiTweet.org

The abolitionist movement was the first major instance of mass petitioning as a form of political pressure in Britain. Over 500 petitions were presented to Parliament, totalling almost 400,000 signatures. — PolitiTweet.org

The abolitionist movement was a broad coalition, led by inspirational figures such as Ignatius Sancho (the first African in Britain to receive an obituary), Olaudah Equiano, Thomas Clarkson, and William Wilberforce. — PolitiTweet.org

The first duty of a nation state is the safety of its citizens. That is what we have done. This has been through a range of action including early investment in research, accelerated approvals and intelligently written contracts. https://t.co/Oc779OtmCd — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow marks 214 years since the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act 1807 received Royal Asset and became law. This was the first legislative step by Government to abolish slavery. Under the leadership of Wilberforce and others, it passed by a massive majority of 283 votes to 16. — PolitiTweet.org

I have now written to the @CMAgovUK on this matter. Too many parts of the IT industry, both hardware and software, are trying to find ways of making customers pay more than once for the same product. https://t.co/UOYYfGxEIO — PolitiTweet.org

As a result of the imbalance, the Committee believes only a judge-led inquiry would have the powers to fully investigate matters. They are right. A judge-led inquiry is now required to get to the bottom of these matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Rather disappointingly, the SNP members of the committee do not agree. They appear to want the Scottish Parliament to have fewer powers than unionists such as myself do. — PolitiTweet.org

The Holyrood inquiry also agrees with me on this point. The report finds ‘the Parliament may have insufficient powers to hold the executive to account’ and calls for a commission to review the relationship between the executive and legislature. — PolitiTweet.org

But this is not just about one politician. It is about the imbalance in power between the Scottish Parliament and the executive. We must ensure the Scottish Parliament can truly hold the Government to account and bring its overweening executive to heel. — PolitiTweet.org

The Scottish Government claimed to refute my allegation that a key document was improperly withheld from the court during the judicial review. The Committee’s report now confirms this did indeed occur. — PolitiTweet.org

This is but one of the report’s damning findings, many of which confirm the points I made in Parliament last week that the Scottish Government sought to discredit. — PolitiTweet.org

The Holyrood inquiry’s report today damningly concluded the First Minister’s written evidence to Parliament was ‘an inaccurate account of what happened, and she has misled the Committee’. — PolitiTweet.org

Requiring vaccinations for staff working in health professions, such as care homes, is the incorrect approach. We need to focus on vaccinating well-over 90% of care home residents. Doing so massively reduces the risk for residents, staff and visitors. https://t.co/YwSxKPCShl — PolitiTweet.org

I have serious concerns about vaccine passports either for work or attendance at events. It looks like the real purpose is to coerce people into having a vaccine. That is wrong. It is entirely right that we get as many people vaccinated as possible but it must be their choice. https://t.co/tRuzbNGwa2 — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I gave evidence to @CommonsPACAC concerning COVID-19 vaccine certification. It appears to me that vaccine passports offer a permanent solution to an at-most temporary problem, if not a non-existent one. The government must be clear about what they are seeking to resolve. https://t.co/eghkgNVTQK — PolitiTweet.org

The shameful scenes in Bristol yesterday demonstrate only too clearly the need for the police to have powers to deal with dangerous actions. But the right to demonstrate peacefully is the foundation stone of our democracy. It must not be eroded by such acts of criminality. https://t.co/k3IKR5rj3F — PolitiTweet.org
