Opening in House of Commons during an impassioned session on #aviation, #Quarantine and redundancies from #BritishAirways and other companies. Thanks to all colleagues, and the Minister, for signalling support to sector and workforce. https://t.co/9CFewlbtI4 — PolitiTweet.org

Huw Merriman MP @HuwMerriman

Thanks to the 130 MPs from across Parliament who joined the application to debate job losses across aviation. We’ve been granted it (subject to securing landing slot). In the meantime, after #PMQs tomorrow, have secured an hour to question our Govt Minister #backinthehold https://t.co/5V1zMbgTA1 — PolitiTweet.org

#BritishAirways staff; at suggestion of many Conservative MPs, I’m applying for debates in Parliament this week to highlight your cause/press pause. Sure opposition MPs will also support. Email your MP; ask them to email/join me so this will occur #BAStopThinkAgain #backinthehold — PolitiTweet.org

#BBC did not ask #emilymaitlis to come off air this evening. They did, however, make the fair point in this statement about their standards. Everyone, including journalists, politicians and commentators, should wait for the facts before piling in (Chair BBC APPG). https://t.co/fGHyt7NAtj — PolitiTweet.org

If correct, #BritishAirways need to read the mood music and stop restructuring now or Govt and Parliament must step in and halt this abuse of power. l‘ll never step foot on a BA plane if they go through with this. #backinthehold — PolitiTweet.org

Important Govt sets tough targets rather than play politically safe and duck challenges. Confident we‘ll bring in world-beating contact tracing system from June. Our record: - NHS capacity never breached ✅ - 100k tests a day by end April ✅ - 18k contact tracers by mid-May ✅ — PolitiTweet.org

You can’t beat the standard Twitter Q followed by immediate incorrect assumption barb. Took the Southeastern train to Parliament yesterday from East Sussex for Select Co meeting and walked from Charing Cross. Otherwise, I’m working from home. — PolitiTweet.org

The SoS for Transport clarified to me today that self-distancing is not an absolute requirement on public transport and that using medical grade PPE is not being advised - home-made face coverings suffice. Using medical PPE would strain supply for our healthcare workers. https://t.co/B7zO9vpDW3 — PolitiTweet.org
