Today I met with @StuartAndrew to ensure the need to secure future orders for the BAE Hawk aircraft remains at the top of the Government's agenda. He assured me every effort is being made to create new orders as soon as possible. https://t.co/ZTs41pmUSf — PolitiTweet.org

Last week I went to the fantastic #MangaExhibition at the @britishmuseum. It is incredibly interesting and everyone should go. — PolitiTweet.org

I suspect the @BBC's decision will face a legal challenge in due course. They will likely lose this, thereby wasting more taxpayers' money. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Very poor practice by the @BBC to withdraw free TV licences for over-75s. In 2015 they agreed to take responsibility for this from 2020. They should now honour that commitment. — PolitiTweet.org

The Met's deployment of facial recognition technology resulted in a misidentification rate of over 90%. I am glad that Policing Minister @NickHurdUK has committed to carrying out urgent work to review how this technology is used. https://t.co/u4vDJeEUWK — PolitiTweet.org

The decision to drop the case against Loughinisland journalists @trevorbirney and Barry McCaffrey was a momentous day for press freedom. The PSNI must now deliver justice for the Loughinisland victims and their families. https://t.co/nv0NJ1637A — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

In March I wrote for @Telegraph on how S.60 stop and search powers are precisely the targeted powers necessary to cope with an epidemic of knife violence. https://t.co/nenOQYlyES Pleased to see the increase used of these powers is now having an effect. https://t.co/pBn1XXs89o — PolitiTweet.org

PSNI have now dropped the case against @trevorbirney and Barry McCaffrey. An outstanding victory for Press Freedom. My congratulations to two brave journalists and their fantastic team. Now for justice for Loughinisland. — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Everyone should condemn in the strongest terms the cowardly & irresponsible attack on the PSNI officer. The people of Northern Ireland want no return to the cruelty and violence of the past, and simply want to live their lives in peace. https://t.co/zlR0lhDL74 — PolitiTweet.org

For the second time this week I'm in Belfast, supporting journalists Barry McCaffrey and @trevorbirney in their fight against attempts to undermine the freedom of the press. https://t.co/tgk3TW4fee — PolitiTweet.org

Philip Augar's review on student fees is a good start, but it needs to be the beginning of a radical overhaul of the Higher Education system. https://t.co/zUCjWEULyU — PolitiTweet.org

I also wrote about the use of torture in today's Times. Torture is wrong both in principle and in law, it endangers serving soldiers, and it simply does not work. https://t.co/mNKhTxGvr0 — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Following troubling news today that Government policy could allow cooperation with torture if "the potential benefits justify accepting the risk and the legal consequences", I asked @PennyMordaunt to make a statement. https://t.co/SY8Crhl9vD — PolitiTweet.org

If the Government wants to help the North, it has to build railways in the North. — PolitiTweet.org

Good report on HS2 by the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee. As they say, too much emphasis has been put on cutting journey times and not enough on the economic benefits for the regions. https://t.co/OyRacRKSJk — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Very important the Government listens to personal stories like this. The retrospective Loan Charge is causing a huge amount of stress to tens of thousands of people. It needs to be scrapped now. https://t.co/ASt8pswAZE — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

HS2 will not deliver on its stated aims. Now is the time to scrap this vanity project and focus on infrastructure that will benefit all areas of the UK. https://t.co/amJ7rO1OkC — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

It was a pleasure to launch a report today from @the_tpa proposing 28 great alternatives to HS2. It's time the Government scrapped HS2 and focused on investments that will genuinely boost regional growth and improve connectivity. https://t.co/uAh8cGoPvL — PolitiTweet.org

The Disability Living Allowance appeal process is broken. It is causing deprivation and distress to young lives, including that of my eight-year-old constituent Jessica. I asked the Secretary of State for Work & Pensions to address this as quickly as possible. https://t.co/ZjkXZEqSnP — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The next PM must recognise HS2 for the wasteful vanity project it really is. The money could be better spent on regional infrastructure, fibre-optic broadband, fixing the housing crisis, or funding any number of more worthwhile infrastructure projects. https://t.co/wk0Y667UYO — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Insightful speech this morning on the rise of populism by my erstwhile Cabinet colleague @DavidGauke. However, we must face up to the fact that we - in the establishment - got it wrong in 2008... and now we are reaping the consequences. @ukonward #GaukePopulism — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Indefinite detention of migrants is an important issue from a civil liberties standpoint. But this report shows it also costs as much as £35m a year. This Government must change course on this when the Immigration Bill comes back to Parliament. https://t.co/8kQprDhWus — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Delays to the granting of probate are absolutely unacceptable. The government is causing undue stress to grieving families. This needs to be sorted quickly. https://t.co/rt4TXOSkWU — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

The local election results show the public are fed up with politicians failing to deliver Brexit. The way forward is to go back to the EU and give it one last chance - renegotiate an acceptable deal, or leave calmly and speedily without a deal. https://t.co/aM0tMKJuUB — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

I will be backing @DominicRaab in the forthcoming Conservative leadership contest. His unique combination of intellect, determination, decisiveness and courage means he is the best placed candidate to deliver on the opportunities Brexit presents. https://t.co/sliPObxqfK — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

A few months ago I wrote about this, and related issues, in The Times. https://t.co/AkIrRnqoft — PolitiTweet.org

This is a move in the right direction on what must be done to protect consumers buying smart home technology. However, it is only the first step, much will need to be done on this issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Fantastic news that North Ferriby will once again be home to a football team. There is a long history of football in the area and I hope North Ferriby Football Club go on to enjoy great success. https://t.co/dUCT0qnEWm — PolitiTweet.org

David Davis @DavidDavisMP

Well done to @CherylGillan on securing an Urgent Question on delaying HS2. People across the country are rightly concerned about the impact it will have. HS2 is a huge waste of money that needs to be scrapped. — PolitiTweet.org
