The first stop on my tour this morning is the Blacksmith's Tearooms in Burwash, for a slice of cake and a coffee to set me on my way☕️🍰 #CyclingConstituencyTour #BigSummerCycle https://t.co/iFWeFR6C9M — PolitiTweet.org

This is the account of our times. I’ll be the last haircut standing before we return to normal and you go back to holding the clippers (as opposed to holding the twitters) — PolitiTweet.org

Sorry for Dawn Butler that she was stopped when no need but can we please spare a thought for the police officers across this country who put themselves in harms way on a daily basis and keep us safe. They must wonder who cares about their welfare; I do. — PolitiTweet.org

This rather sums up my view. There is something seriously wrong with this great country when the powerful stand by whilst those who need us most at a time of crisis are betrayed. Disillusioned and disappointed doesn’t even scratch the surface of my feelings. — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

It’s been moving, heartbreaking and deeply shocking listening to the stories of loyal staff who’ve given their all to #BritishAirways and the passengers (like me) cared for over the years. You don‘t deserve this and we will continue to give you your voice. Stay strong and united. — PolitiTweet.org

I hope local pubs, restaurants and cafes will register for the #EatOutToHelpOut scheme at https://t.co/7OJxVcz1OQ, so we can all enjoy a meal in cafes, pubs and restaurants for less this summer. They are such a big part of our community, employ so many and need our support — PolitiTweet.org

As for £450m figure; this was the phased transfer cost of over 75s policy from Govt (so required BBC to use its reserves and scale back to cover higher one-off figure). As Minister said, any Govt or BBC would have to review £750m offer. — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

To answer; Govt, and not #BBC, has paid annual £750m (not £450m) for free TV licences for over 75s. BBC got a package of £200m when it had to take policy over. Leaves BBC £50m short when it provides just for those on pension credit (£250m). Hence job losses at BBC. — PolitiTweet.org

The BBC is to cut jobs in its regional news coverage. I know that many residents rely on these services to keep up with local events. Encouraging the BBC to look after the regions and explaining they were not fully funded to take over the over 75s licence fee. #BBC #regionalnews https://t.co/7WsAReRcyQ — PolitiTweet.org
