The reforms must include scrapping GCSEs in favour of a broad baccalaureate. They must re-engineer and revolutionise the classroom with technology and AI. And, finally, we need to establish a special royal commission on education, AI and exam reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I along with @halfon4harlowmp, @anthonyseldon, @priyalakhani, Prof. Rose Luckin and 26 other education leaders, parliamentarians and entrepreneurs, call on the government to radically reform the education system. https://t.co/2JzZOwLaBH — PolitiTweet.org

The key issue in today's lockdown debate is what is the exit strategy? What are the exit criteria? Is it the total number of people vaccinated? Or is it the number of vulnerable people vaccinated who face a high risk of death if exposed to the virus? — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Teachers, and especially SEN teachers, must be given priority access to vaccines, as it is often impossible for them to avoid close contact with pupils. This will help protect the teachers and also reduce the risk of spreading the virus to their families. https://t.co/wLwr3b6O9a — PolitiTweet.org

4. Our Treaty with the US is completed lopsided and gives the US Secretary of State far more discretion than it gives our Home Secretary to prevent extraditions like this. Just look at the case of Anne Sacoolas - the person responsible for the death of Harry Dunn. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

3. The Judge stated that the Extradition Act does not prevent extradition for political prosecutions. This is precisely why our extradition arrangements with the US require fundamental reform. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

2. The chances of Assange getting a fair trial in the US are slim. The American public, media and Government are all biased against him. A US trial would not deliver impartial justice to him. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

1. Pleased to see the extradition of Julian Assange to the US has been rejected. The Judge was right to be concerned about Assange's mental health. The conditions in US prisons are appalling and the treatment of those extradited from the UK is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Good news Julian Assange's extradition has been blocked. Extradition treaties should not be used for political prosecutions. https://t.co/PEWhgow7Kb — PolitiTweet.org

Today I voted for the Treaty with the EU. However, this is not the end. There are outstanding issues which must be addressed and there must be greater Parliamentary scrutiny of the deal. One day is simply not long enough. https://t.co/tVuKwtZH7A — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

This was always the most likely timetable. https://t.co/ou7OlJLl9i — PolitiTweet.org

If Brussels is serious about raising standards, are they going to raise minimum wages through the EU to match British levels? https://t.co/yxigNhPTZX — PolitiTweet.org

On same day NICE published it’s hopelessly out of date views on vitamin D, this report reinforces the need for wide scale supplementation to prevent winter respiratory diseases, including COVID-19, particularly for BAME communities. https://t.co/TBCLUPakSv — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook should grow up. Many of us buy Apple products precisely because they protect our privacy against predatory operators like Facebook. https://t.co/hdA09fGjWk — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The provision of supplements free of charge to care homes and the clinically extremely vulnerable is a step in the right direction. But the dosage is far too low to support the immune system. The data shows it needs to be much higher. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

As I have called on the government to do since May, this study argues, "the UK requires targeted public health measures to mitigate deficiency risk in all affected populations". — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Meanwhile, the evidence showing vitamin D might help prevent Covid turning serious in some people continues to grow. This is especially true in BAME communities, where Vitamin D levels are low. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Latest study finds that those from ethnic minority backgrounds in the UK are amongst the groups most affected by vitamin D deficiency. https://t.co/tai5PwYk1l — PolitiTweet.org

This excellent panel discussion is now available in full on the @FutureWorkInst's website here: https://t.co/R1tloVhmgS — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Fascinating panel discussion with the @FutureWorkInst and three brilliant panellists on rethinking technology and the nature of work. COVID-19 has been a disruptive force and has accelerated trends in working practices. We must think through those consequences very carefully. https://t.co/eLpbtRgTsS — PolitiTweet.org

Throughout the Brexit negotiations, Britain has tried to maintain a civilised approach. Unfortunately, that is not true of the European Union. As negotiations continue today, we must remember that Britain has nothing to fear with a No Deal Brexit. https://t.co/XAYW3OU3s8 — PolitiTweet.org

@NYorksPolice appear to be stopping vehicles travelling in from surrounding areas. While I understand this with respect to social gatherings, I have written to the Chief Constable to clarify the rules on, for example, families travelling into the area for their weekly shop. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The Government maintain the policy throughout the pandemic has been to protect the NHS. It is difficult to do this if we do not known the level of stress put on intensive care. This is data which the NHS stopped collecting in February and now does not intend to backdate. https://t.co/KsHVQYc3gS — PolitiTweet.org

Here is why I believe it was a mistake to cut the foreign aid budget 👇🏻 https://t.co/qyMp5ykTAL — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Good to see the Government is paying attention to the arguments we put yesterday in the House of Commons chamber on the need for restrictions to be targeted on much smaller areas. It is fairer, does less economic damage and works much better, as can be seen with Germany. https://t.co/xeKmR529bb — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Restrictions on much smaller areas work better, they are fairer, and they cause much less economic damage. The Government's proposed tier system does not deliver this. I will therefore be voting against the government this evening. https://t.co/gHg4A5RxXC — PolitiTweet.org

December marks 20 years since the collapse of Equitable Life, where over a million people lost pension savings due to years of regulatory maladministration. But many have still not received full and fair compensation. The Government must right that wrong. https://t.co/uYi3NmBHSu — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Partially good news on vitamin D from the gov, albeit at foolishly low dosages. NICE & SACN seem not to understand their statistical tests and more importantly seem unable to make judgements appropriate to the times. This paper hits the nail on the head https://t.co/Rm6aZUq0T9 — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

At long last the Government is supplying free Vitamin D to the vulnerable. Regrettably, the dosage is more appropriate for bone health, not immunological reasons. Every little helps, but it should really be a dosage 5 to 10 times higher than this. https://t.co/MdhepNgqoD — PolitiTweet.org
