The Government must now put in place sensible regulation of facial recognition that protects privacy, and have proper debate and oversight in Parliament. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Pleased to see @libertyhq has won its legal challenge against the Police's use of live facial recognition cameras. The Court of Appeal has rightly ruled they unlawfully interfere with the right to privacy, and that there are "fundamental deficiencies" in the legal framework. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

I welcome the additional £4.3 million provided to @HullHospitals helping them prepare A&E for winter. However, the government should also publicise what the NHS is currently doing to reduce infections in A&Es to encourage people to start using them again. https://t.co/U6DvLYs7S6 — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

.@IndependentSage are right. Other countries have been able to set up track and trace within a week or two of their original infections. It is extraordinary that we still have such a clunky system, with a 0300 number, so long after our peak. https://t.co/eDN1i1G4hU — PolitiTweet.org

Next Wednesday afternoon I will be speaking with @IainDale as part of the Edinburgh Digital Fringe line up. You can get your tickets here - https://t.co/07qfY6QTaV https://t.co/rXTc5Ie07H — PolitiTweet.org

The Making Tax Digital changes will help modernise our tax process. However, they come just as small businesses will be focused on our economic recovery. The Government promised free software to help business comply with the changes. It is now time to deliver on that promise. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

This is great news. @Hull_Trains provide a great and much relied on service for passengers travelling between East Yorkshire and London. I am pleased to see them back. https://t.co/WMZsdSjGDP — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

I am pleased to be joining @Jamie4North's ExcludedUK APPG. This will reinforce some of the issues I have been pursuing on these matters. For example, in June, I wrote in @ConHome calling for a suitable rescue package for the live entertainment industry. https://t.co/1uVgffXuRC — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing is perfect, you are as likely to catch the virus on the London underground back home as you are on the plane or on holiday. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

On a 14 day holiday there is an 80% chance someone infected will manifest symptoms at the airport. If this is the case everyone on the plane should be quarantined. US companies like Cepheid can turnaround a test in 30 minutes. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

A fair point, but there are better alternatives. Remember, it is a numbers game. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Heathrow boss is right to call for airport testing to replace hard quarantines. Vienna has been doing this for months. I don’t understand why we haven’t. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

This is a welcome move. But unfortunately the US-UK Extradition Treaty is still massively asymmetrical, with little hope of justice for the large number of Brits who are extradited on thin allegations of white collar crimes. It needs complete reform. https://t.co/k4N1mGcfiL — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The suspension of the extradition treaty with Hong Kong is a good and symbolic first step in challenging China's bullying tactics. However, we must go further and work with our partners in the Five Eyes and other allies to take ethical, legal and responsible action. https://t.co/id6Hi9uW0L — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

It would be much better if we did what Sweden, Finland and the USA do and fortify flour and milk with vitamin D to help protect the most vulnerable. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

I wrote to @MattHancock on 18 May asking for an investigation on how vitamin D supplementation provides partial protection against COVID-19. Glad to see @uksciencechief is now recommending that we focus public health messaging on this. https://t.co/ypiaoSm1jZ — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Pleased to see the Northern Irish Chief Constable apologise unreservedly to @Barry_TheDetail and @trevorbirney for the appalling way they were treated. The Chief Constable must now facilitate a speedy conclusion to the mediation so Barry and Trevor can move on from this scandal. https://t.co/Aoz6VNIEe7 — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

I am afraid the return of Shamima Begum was entirely predictable. The Government should now change this policy to bring back children and mothers where there is not an explicit risk. https://t.co/6lhdanoAx5 — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

I also argued this point in @TheSun over the weekend. https://t.co/wdb4HlfzLt — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Today's decision to remove Huawei from our 5G networks is absolutely correct. It is now time we stand with our allies to face up to China's bullying tactics. https://t.co/L2C35eH0AE — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Unsurprisingly HS2 is expected to cost more than the government predictions. I still suspect there is a large change of it costing £200 billion. https://t.co/9QSfqoAbdA — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

RT @GMB: Face coverings will be made mandatory in shops from July 24. Former Brexit Secretary @DavidDavisMP suggests that the delay in mak… — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

It is very odd that this forecast assumes we will not copy Germany or South Korea's response to further outbreaks. We now have an antigen testing capacity of 200,000, with proper organisation, this should be enough to track and trace smaller outbreaks. https://t.co/RWb0Jhmcw5 — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

It was implicit in the Withdrawal Agreement that we would have a Free Trade Agreement. In the event that the EU is not offering a deal, we should certainly consider John Longworth's (@John4Brexit) suggestion of reviewing the Withdrawal Agreement. https://t.co/0AuoeGjCXh — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Nobody should be surprised at China's bullying tactics over Huawei. Now is the time for the UK and our allies to stand up to China and lay down some new rules. https://t.co/wdb4HlfzLt — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

This is a fantastic victory, not only for Barry McCaffrey and Trevor Birney - who have been treated appallingly by the Northern Irish Police – but also for journalistic freedom across the UK. The new Chief Constable, Simon Byrne, must now apologise unreservedly to them both. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Today, the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland has found that the original hearing to grant a warrant "fell woefully short of the standard required" and that the police had exceeded their authority. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

In 2018, two journalists @Barry_TheDetail and @trevorbirney, were arrested after releasing a documentary, No Stone Unturned, exposing the truth behind the 1994 Loughinisland Massacre in Northern Ireland. Their homes and offices were raided and electronic equipment seized. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Best Candidate. @LiamFox understands international trade, has connections and believes in free trade. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

.@RishiSunak delivered a very sensible budget statement yesterday. However, the unanswered question is how it will be funded. As I said on Tuesday, we need the modern equivalent of a war bond financing this over 50 years. — PolitiTweet.org
