The government is right to postpone the #IR35 reforms - but it should have been for longer. We now must use this time to have a wholesale review of the entire system. This was as called for by the @LordsEconCom and as I argued in my @HouseofCommons speech earlier this afternoon https://t.co/j5LnrRNae4 — PolitiTweet.org

The Competition and Markets Authority is right to seek powers to tackle pandemic profiteers. However, these powers need to be instituted and controlled by Parliament. https://t.co/lf8lnutt2I — PolitiTweet.org

Tensions between China and the rest of the world have grown during the coronavirus pandemic. However, we need to be careful not start a global trade war which outlasts the immediate coronavirus crisis. https://t.co/UsowYVZan5 — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased to hear @MattHancock announce yesterday that 21,000 contact tracers have now been recruited. To successfully control the virus they are going to need at least that many, if not many more. — PolitiTweet.org

Very sensible article by @mattwridley on Vitamin D and Covid-19 in The @spectator https://t.co/t4nHVHU8uq — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The Science Select Committee's (@CommonsSTC) letter to the PM is worth reading in full. Criticism of the testing strategy is on page 8. https://t.co/AWm1wpBVbR — PolitiTweet.org

Droplets travel much further and last longer than previously assumed. Demonstrates why Asian countries are right to have negative pressure wards for infectious patients. Also why Asian countries are right about masks. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Turns out the "scientific" advice was actually based on assumptions that date back to the 1930s, which now seem to be wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

It may be why countries like Austria/Czechia/Slovakia have made masks compulsory in some circumstances, and also why the CDC changed their advice. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Anybody interested in the erratic advice of the government about wearing masks should read this paper https://t.co/jnknZ838Df — PolitiTweet.org

Authoritative insights on vitamin D deficiency and Covid19 from Dr JoAnn Manson professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital. https://t.co/XbntMu7bwq — PolitiTweet.org

The best piece of data on this is the meta-analysis on vitamin D and respiratory diseases more widely. https://t.co/cXxvX9xsA7 — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The Government needs to review the research on how vitamin D deficiency affects COVID-19 morbidity. I have written to @MattHancock on this matter. https://t.co/WBxyqGGmv3 — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

It is likely the EU will change stance on a number of the issues in the coming months, if we stick to a firm line. https://t.co/lq0rkJQCFJ — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

It is pleasing that the UK is backing efforts to establish a @WHO investigation into the origins of the coronavirus. If we are to avoid a repeat of this in future, then it is vital we find out as much as possible about the origins of this pandemic. https://t.co/FhQ6jcyASE — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Charlotte Charles is right. Extradition Treaties absolutely have to be symmetrical both in letter of law and the judicial process that governs them. This is blatantly not true at the moment. https://t.co/Vd8I3wYXpS — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

I have asked the Government to publish the exact model and input parameters used by Imperial College in the now infamous Report 9. Still waiting on a response. https://t.co/GChbMrv3p0 — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

More damning criticism from expert coders on Neil Ferguson's Imperial model that led us into lockdown. They call it a “buggy mess that looks more like a bowl of angel hair pasta than a finely tuned piece of programming”. https://t.co/hazTpaw5Wr — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Yesterday, The Times reported up to eight million people will be waiting for NHS treatment by the autumn. This will cause large numbers of excess deaths well beyond the immediate coronavirus crisis. https://t.co/dQS1ikFIyr — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The PM is right to promise numbers of moderate sized infrastructure projects but he should not forget that the fastest recovery will be via tax cuts. The quicker we recover, the quicker we can pay our bills. https://t.co/l3RWpQ0EL5 — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Pleased to hear @BorisJohnson dismiss austerity as a way to pay off the deficit after the crisis. To attempt it would be economic nonsense. It should be paid off over 50 years, along with some limited QE. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

As I told Larry Elliot in the @Guardian, the debt accumulated during the coronavirus crisis should be paid off over 50 years, there is no appetite for repeat of austerity. https://t.co/FpceC5NyV5 — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

It is vital the Treasury's schemes provide assistance to small business facing lethal threat from the lockdown, most obviously the entertainment industry. A lot of entertainers miss out on support as their income changes erratically from year to year. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

.@mattwridley and I wrote how the modelling behind the decision to impose lockdown was 'mathematical guesswork'. Graham Medley, the chief pandemic modeller sitting on SAGE, described it as “educated guesswork” in a lecture this week. Same difference. https://t.co/2i1QdiukFv — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

This is a very level headed piece. Concerns about transparency over the Cabinet Secretary contracting coronavirus are entirely proper. A lack of openness throughout this crisis may well have inhibited good decision making. https://t.co/5jadZ1E4B2 — PolitiTweet.org

One effect is we could face a cancer crisis post coronavirus.@CommonsHealth received evidence from the National Cancer Director of NHS England and Cancer Research UK who have suggested this may be a possibility. https://t.co/wt2NjYsGlh https://t.co/aL36OrZloF — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Earlier this week in the Commons, I expressed concern that we were controlling pressure on the NHS by delaying treatment, discharging patients to care homes too soon and cancelling surgeries all of which could have a fatal effect on patients. https://t.co/FZPVk5peOp — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

I agree with @Edthejazzman & @OfficialALW. The UK music industry has been shattered & is right to warn of a #WorldWithoutMusic unless they are supported. @GaryBarlow @eltonofficial @coldplay @adele @PaulMcCartney please support Ed’s campaign. https://t.co/1hUzJ9etu2 — PolitiTweet.org
