Good to see Boris taking obesity seriously now.But he had better be sure the science behind any policy is right.Quite a lot of evidence that all Western governments have based guidance on bad science for 50 years. We must review the science first, then act.https://t.co/mXiXR0Vo9v — PolitiTweet.org

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard rightly criticises the inflexibility of the Treasury. A large debt after the crisis will not look out of place on the global stage, we need investment in infrastructure to boost GDP. Similar to arguments I made in the @DailyMailUK. https://t.co/GS2VgQ0iWU — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

I agree with @john4brexit, ex-chair of the @britishchambers, and his argument that with low global interest rates, we should “pursue an economic stimulus programme based on tax cuts, investment, public procurement, state aid and reduced external tariffs.” https://t.co/UlgJlHIMSt — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The leaked Treasury documents suggesting tax rises and spending cuts could entrench the economic impact of coronavirus for several years. This is opposite to my arguments for significant tax cuts and investment in infrastructure to stimulate the economy. https://t.co/JcOpyxbJeb — PolitiTweet.org

The scientific advice is hardly surprising given lots of studies show vitamin D is involved in prevention and mitigation of respiratory tract infections, and recent studies showing high association between Vitamin D deficiency and Covid19 prevalence and mortality rates. — PolitiTweet.org

Government Department Chief Scientific Adviser now says sunlight is protective against coronavirus, in contrast to police stopping people sunbathing in the last several weeks! https://t.co/CxsyPkpWQu — PolitiTweet.org

We need a more bold and imaginative response. Time for Economics 2.0 rather than Treasury 101. https://t.co/Hy9ath83tz — PolitiTweet.org

Many of my colleagues quite rightly think Treasury austerity plans are madness. https://t.co/GFyy0tIDeW — PolitiTweet.org

The strategy should be to use the testing capacity we have to manage outbreaks in those settings. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

On @GMB this morning Piers Morgan challenged me on whether it is right to relax the lockdown. As we do not yet have testing in place, he has a point. However, the "R" number is likely much lower in many communities than in hospitals and care homes. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The NHS have stopped publishing data on hospital and ICU utilisation through the coronavirus crisis. This is very unwise. We must be able to view this information to manage capacity and manage our exit from lockdown. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

.@drraghibali also importantly picks up the arguments on the need for transparency in the data being used to guide policy and the weaknesses in the modelling being used — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

.@drraghibali says he is worried lockdown is "causing more health harm than we expected". @ONS figures out today show the price of anti-Covid measures is over 13,000 non-Covid deaths. This is only likely to increase with the cost of delayed treatment. https://t.co/DFh2ewu2SX — PolitiTweet.org

.@drraghibali says he is worried lockdown is "causing more health harm than we expected". @ONS figures out today show the price of anti-Covid measures is over 13,000 deaths in other areas. This is only likely to increase with the cost of delayed treatment. https://t.co/DFh2ewu2SX — PolitiTweet.org

Interpol have now issued a red notice for Anne Sacoolas. Since the Dunn family were not seeking a custodial sentence, this just demonstrates the American's handling of this has only made a tragic situation worse. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

It seems odd that we are allowing people into the country from France, where there are 394 deaths per million of population, but not from Greece where there are 14 deaths per million of population. https://t.co/QfYA2tEn3n — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

A fifth of small businesses are at risk of collapse. @BorisJohnson needs to think big to save the economy. We need a well-thought-out, long-term strategy of big tax cuts and a large volume of low-cost, high-impact infrastructure projects. https://t.co/Hy9ath83tz — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

We can then design a proper policy bringing the UK out of lockdown and importantly the public can exercise their own common sense. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

It is not good enough to simply predict total numbers. To fully inform government policy this must be broken down by how infections are caused. For example, whether they are in care homes, in hospitals, travelling to work or at work, and so on. https://t.co/irBcZuWc3U — PolitiTweet.org

Redaction of SAGE subcommittee report is daft. The government should be brave enough to justify their decisions in the light of the facts and all of the advice. It might help improve the decisions. https://t.co/3Npvz3FscZ — PolitiTweet.org

Everybody who is concerned about the Imperial College model must read this immediately. If true, it is scandalous. https://t.co/Y2SphE228u — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

We need the whole model, its assumptions and working in the public domain. We can no longer run our strategy on secret advice and potentially flawed calculations. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

A bigger issue than Professor Ferguson's private life is the accuracy of his model. When applied to the Swedish policy it forecast 40,000 deaths by now, over 15 times the reality. — PolitiTweet.org
