During the first session of the @CommonsTrans #Infrastructure inquiry, @PhilipHammondUK discussed assessing the costs and benefits of large infrastructure projects and his experience of working on #HS2 during his time as Chancellor and Transport Secretary https://t.co/bU43NE9QY8 — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Former Chancellor and Transport Secretary @PhilipHammondUK expressed doubts as to whether there is a case to build a bridge or tunnel linking Northern Ireland with the British mainland while giving evidence to the @CommonsTrans on the first day of our #Infrastructure inquiry https://t.co/crHciDHidI — PolitiTweet.org

So I have I have tabled a Written Question to the Education Secretary asking how we can work with schools to help them identify the needs of #neurodiverse learners, and ensure we support their #education and #learning [4/4] #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

I believe it is really important that #neurodiverselearners are properly supported so their #creativity, #innovation, ability to think outside the box, unique insights and perspectives, and #problemsolving skills can flourish with support from their teachers [3/4] — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Currently in the UK, though, only 2 out of every 5 #neurodiverse children leave secondary education having had their learning difficulty diagnosed [2/4] — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

#NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek is a great chance to recognise how #neurodiverse people enrich our society, from gold medal winning athletes and ground-breaking physicists, to businesspeople, actors, and writers [1/4] https://t.co/GCAqU0W4vd — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, at the first session of the @CommonsTrans #Infrastructure inquiry, I asked former Chancellor and Transport Secretary @PhilipHammondUK whether the UK should be focusing on exporting our innovative transport technology to #China https://t.co/T3pZnFTiBC — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Interesting claim that @HighwaysEngland won’t take on enforcement powers for littering and councils cannot clean up because HE will not temporarily close their roads. Is full road closure needed? Is this why A27 in #Sussex is named as most littered road? https://t.co/ZX9W4PGoHX — PolitiTweet.org

Whilst I’ve tried to answer other interesting replies, I will probably ask for help and suggestions to this one....I tend to wear my rucksack on my back (let’s hope the author meant the same kindly thing) — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Guilty as charged. I want young people to have the future I was offered via education (recognising that we have largely vaccinated those most at risk from COVID mortality). If that makes me a monster then I’m an altruistic monster at worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

I hope so. I’ve been in to Parliament on a weekly basis since the first lock down (I chair a Select Committee so need to be in to do so). I don’t think Parliament is as effective remotely and I salute teachers who feel the same way (and who have worked so hard remotely) — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

This rule change is not subject to a vote in Parliament. I agree with you that it should be (and I would vote against if it were). This demonstrates that Govt can rely on existing powers, older than the pandemic, to enact these restrictions. — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

It’s ‘recommended’ but schools rarely go against Govt recommendations. Coverings in school corridors were ‘recommended’ and became the norm in Autumn on this same basis. No blame attached to schools. Who would do otherwise if a Headteacher? — PolitiTweet.org
