Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Great @CommonsTrans visit to Birmingham yesterday to scrutinise #HS2's construction and impact on the environment, economy and local development. We will continue to monitor the progress of HS2 in six-monthly accountability sessions. https://t.co/j4QtozJ5aa — PolitiTweet.org

@ThomasWPenny The guidance is that we wear masks in any enclosed and crowded setting. I agree. That should not just be on public transport but all settings. That’s the message we need to send to show public transport is not a needy or dangerous case — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Stigmatising and singling out public transport as being unsafe; it’s one of the safest settings due to staff and industry measures. The car is not as clean, green and safe. Don’t blame anyone but yourselves if your demand crashes, and timetables reduce, from this poor messaging — PolitiTweet.org

My article in @ConHome with @SimonClarkeMP this morning. We must balance our duty to protect the economy and provide #InternationalAid, and so this compromise is fair and paves the way to restoring our 0.7% commitment. https://t.co/nJLZXuueZZ https://t.co/DVZAvRILE5 — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Have looked at the Treasury’s statement on a proposed compromise on #UKaid; it’s a sensible and reasonable approach which respects spirit of our 2019 manifesto in a more challenging 2021. I’ll be supporting and voting for it tomorrow. https://t.co/GTuWp6Zu4I — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Vital that Govt does not rest on its laurels. Green/amber categorisation remains critical for young families, where most parents will not be #DoubleJabbed until late summer. For these families, we must expand the green list so they can benefit from the same freedoms. 3/3 https://t.co/TGaXlyYZwU — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Govt should now work to tackle other barriers to travel by establishing an affordable testing regime and ensuring that Border Force resourcing is in place to get people through airports safely and efficiently. 2/3 https://t.co/VmM2fZ1dmZ — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Today's announcement is a much-needed shot in the arm for those who've had two shots of the vaccine in their arm and our #InternationalTravel industry. We are rightly taking advantage of our #VaccineDividend and reopening international travel safely. 1/3 https://t.co/wNpaFIUzaY — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Firstly, I was actually there. Second, I was on the crutches (so not imagining anything). To be chastised for a lack of self-awareness (given the first two) is the icing on the cake from a self-confessed ‘peace and love’ pretender. — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

@PaulPolitic Actually, I was the one on crutches; others were in a similar position. It’s beyond selfish when others can use their fully functioning limbs to shut down our streets and cause everyone else discomfort and inconvenience. — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Utter selfishness of inconsiderate idiots blocking the streets because they want the right to protest whilst those of on crutches or disabled cannot get a bus (and blocked traffic fumes pollute the air). Police pathetically watching by is a reason for more powers. https://t.co/KOieDWX6EW — PolitiTweet.org

Moved to tears watching this. Even more special given how tough this year has been for those in their teens. Emma is an inspiration that dreams can be fulfilled through hard work, dedication and holding your nerve. — PolitiTweet.org

Parliament acts as a check and balance on the powers of the Executive. It’s crucial for the democratic process that Parliament probes, scrutinises and holds to account. 5/5 https://t.co/5aIZaoxAnd — PolitiTweet.org

Transparency between Govt, Agencies and Parliament results in meaningful engagement and the best results for the public. 4/5 https://t.co/uxJvT66seU — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Our Parliamentary system is adversarial and can sometimes appear harsh, but we must scrutinise Govt and its agencies with rigour to properly hold them to account – this is in public interest. 3/5 https://t.co/zDwaDpEdtR — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Where we feel Govt and Agencies have fallen short then we will highlight to get better decisions in the future. This is especially important in the case of #SmartMotorways, which have the potential to revolutionise our road network if rolled-out safely. 2/5 https://t.co/tbXeZK3cGP — PolitiTweet.org
