@RobOz73 Thanks Rob, I appreciate you letting me know. Would you mind shooting me a brief email to [email protected] with this info in so I can investigate? — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

We now have to learn the lessons and make the emergency measures unnecessary. Would you do me a favour, @RobOz73, and brief your local councillors on the detailed causes? I will be pursuing all of these issues with the local authorities when we have the data to review. Thanks. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Thanks Rob - the local services did a magnificent job in numerous places, as I saw for myself at Everthorpe. I am very, very glad they saved your house. — PolitiTweet.org

Quick update: as far as I can tell, about 18 houses flooded this week. That is 18 too many, as it is absolutely miserable for families. But it looks likely that the combination of millions spent on flood defences and the efforts of local authorities saved thousands more houses. — PolitiTweet.org

I also visited the Market Weighton canal. By Murphy's law, the canal's lock had a problem only a couple of weeks ago. But local drainage specialists fixed it just in time, protecting a vast area of East Yorkshire from high tides. https://t.co/bEpEksspXX — PolitiTweet.org

Today I was up at the lagoon at Willerby Carr to inspect the flood defenses there. The lagoon is full, and has probably saved thousands of households across the region from flooding. https://t.co/dpd1kyC2uL — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see @grantshapps committing to reverse Beeching rail closures. I launched a report from @the_tpa on opening up a whole series of local railway lines and services some months ago. Here is the report: https://t.co/sKX2EB6P6r — PolitiTweet.org

So far fewer flood victims than I had feared, but still miserable for those hit by the problem. Council think they have found every one, but if you have water ingress to your home call 01482 393939. They can help - from sandbags to housing to a range of items of advice. — PolitiTweet.org

Now Corbyn wants to nationalise broadband? Sure we need more investment in broadband, but we also need more competent provision. Openreach is useless because it has too monopolistic a position. It needs more competition not less. State control will make it worse. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

By the way, the village community in Everthorpe are amazing in how they turned out to help the residents who were flooded. Well done to all of them. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

There appear to be floods elsewhere, but I won’t repeat until I am able to confirm. My heart goes out to those facing these floods - it’s always ever so grim in these situations. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The emergency services here in Haltemprice & Howden are working flat out but are facing a really tough situation. There’s a perfect storm of saturated ground, non-stop rain, full dykes and high tide. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The biblical rains continue. I’m currently at Everthorpe where some houses are beginning to flood. Cllr Victoria Aitken is already here - and the emergency services are doing a great job. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Checked out the water levels at one of the flood alert areas near me - Welham Bridge over the River Foulness. But this was before the hours of biblical rain we've had this afternoon... https://t.co/lT07J5xFre — PolitiTweet.org

.@LauraPidcockMP said on this morning’s @BBCr4today programme that immigrants were not to blame for wages being depressed. Quite right! It’s the policy’s fault - very much not the same thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Diabetes U.K. analysis shows obesity has almost doubled in the last 20 years. This trend could cripple the NHS in a generation, not to mention the misery it will cause through diabetes, heart disease, strokes, and cancer. See my article: https://t.co/MgArG0gugc — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

I would like to see more investment in initiatives like the Advanced Manufacturing Centre. https://t.co/meJZ8xcSHC — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Excellent pledge by Boris to double r&d expenditure. We need to reverse the trend under all governments of the last 50 years. Just look at how we’ve been left behind: https://t.co/tj8WsSEhck — PolitiTweet.org

Good article from The Times on this here: https://t.co/Jd6OpO9zr3 — PolitiTweet.org

Fantastic that Nottingham Trent are reviewing the number of 1st Class Honours they award. This grade inflation - and the notorious unconditional offers - were both encouraged by the terrible tuition fee/loan system. I will continue to campaign for its reform. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Donald Tusk is unwise to ignore the convention of staying out of internal politics of member states. Foreign leaders should stay out of our democratic decisions, whether they are Obama, Trump or Tusk. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

@Marinosloizides Not sure just yet, certainly within the next couple of weeks. If you’d like to shoot me an email to [email protected], I’m happy to let you know! — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Great work guys - I’m very lucky to have such a fantastic campaigning team! — PolitiTweet.org

And can’t forget the inevitable dog photo... https://t.co/CbciKHVHjv — PolitiTweet.org

Brilliant and sunny - if chilly - day on the campaign trail today with some of my team, visiting constituents in Howden and Gilberdyke. https://t.co/13oy4ZYOoS — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Nice to see @Nigel_Farage is coming to my constituency, to the same place where I was readopted three months ago! He will find we’re all very welcoming in East Yorkshire. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Good news for democracy. The postal workers have every right to strike, but not when it would hold our democracy to ransom. https://t.co/QKhpKwpMYc — PolitiTweet.org

Good to see unemployment going down for the fastest quarterly rate in several years. https://t.co/xnhYFVE0Qo — PolitiTweet.org

.@john4brexit, the Brexit Party MEP, has a good piece on why Boris’ deal is a good one and can lead to a Canada+ outcome. https://t.co/veHD5DwrXl — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Lord Berkeley is right that it's been clear for a long time there has been a massive underestimate of the cost of HS2. It's ridiculous to suggest it should go ahead despite the spiralling cost. There are many other things the money could be spent on. https://t.co/sKX2EB6P6r — PolitiTweet.org
