Birthday🎁drinks to thank my wonderful Gillingham & Rainham Conservative team & volunteers friends who have helped me get elected 4 times to Parliament, in 2010 Gillingham & Rainham was the most marginal seat in the country 15 votes difference now 15,000 majority. Great team. 🙏 https://t.co/58J7k39qqK — PolitiTweet.org

A real pleasure to attend the Justice Service for the County of Kent, organised by our wonderful High Sheriff John Weir. A big thank you 🙏 to all those that help administer justice. As a barrister before entering Parliament, I know the amazing work that our judiciary does. https://t.co/MQRvc1FhLs — PolitiTweet.org

So sorry to hear of the extremely sad news about James Brokenshire. James was a truly caring & kind colleague to work with in Parliament, as well as one of our most brilliant & effective Ministers in all the roles he held across Gov. My thoughts & prayers are with his family. https://t.co/8NTj4guNia — PolitiTweet.org

Very disappointed in Maidstone Council SPI Committee decision to move forward with unacceptable Lidsing development. Last year I sent letter to @maidstonebc outlining my total opposition to the 2000 home proposal. Along with residents, I will continue to fight this at every stage https://t.co/0pSmOHvu54 — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you all for your kind birthday wishes. Another year on! (43) In what has been a tough year for all. I try to apply following “never leave till tomorrow what you can do today”. For life is a mist that appears for a little time then vanishes. Never give up on hope & optimism. https://t.co/0JTdxoUK34 — PolitiTweet.org

My pleasure Ambassador keep up the fantastic work. A thought that comes to mind is once the document by faith leaders #Faiths4COP26 is signed & handed to COP26 President @AlokSharma_RDG if it can be placed in places of worship across 🇬🇧 for public to see ahead of COP26 meeting. — PolitiTweet.org
