This afternoon I introduced the first Parliamentary debate on brain tumours for seven years. The outcome of the last debate on this subject was the promise of £40 million for research into brain tumours. I demanded action to get the research funding where it is needed. https://t.co/YgKCGk4U0E — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow I’ll be in St Just, Pendeen, St Buryan and Newlyn, and on Saturday in Lizard, Cadgwith Cove and St Martin. — PolitiTweet.org

After a busy week in Westminster, I’m looking forward to meeting constituents here in West Cornwall. Whatever you wish to raise, you have a right to access your MP and I need to know exactly what matters to you. https://t.co/VeKSUeGnGs — PolitiTweet.org

Cornwall Council has opened a consultation on their plans to change parking charges in their car parks. I would urge anyone who would be affected by these proposed changes to take part. https://t.co/uxphK68vma https://t.co/vASJyPNKMs — PolitiTweet.org

St Piran’s day gives us a reason to celebrate Cornwall and Cornish life. I was pleased to join dignitaries and local schoolchildren leading the celebration. Today’s Furry brought Penzance to a standstill Gool Peran Lowen! https://t.co/UAeP8pI3dN — PolitiTweet.org

Travelling by bus is cheaper and greener – but I’d like to know if there are any ways the bus service could be improved for you. If you have any suggestions for changes that could encourage you to use the bus more please let me know. — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK

The Government has announced an additional £75m to extend the £2 Bus Fare Cap. Single journeys on buses have been capped at £2 since January, and this will be extended until 30 June 2023. This will ease the cost of living and get more people travelling by bus. https://t.co/JoWkJxmMWH — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK

The Government have now published full guidance to the Sustainable Farming Incentive, and I'd urge all farmers to investigate what's available. We can now ensure that public money supports public goods - essential food production, nature recovery, conservation and clean waters. https://t.co/epTD48hGZV — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands of homes and businesses in West Cornwall are getting access to lightning-fast broadband! Liskeard-based supplier Wildanet was awarded £36 million to roll out new connections in Cornwall. #ProjectGigabit https://t.co/RJ8Uj63Zb2 — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK

I proposed a change in the Levelling Up Bill to ensure helicopter pleasure flights - like the ones over St Ives - are subject to planning law. The Minister promised to see if we can make the change more quickly through another legal mechanism. https://t.co/xjAkpWe3RM — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK

This bill represents a new way of building homes – instead of top-down targets, which haven’t worked, we are now focusing on giving the communities the homes they want where they need them. — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK

The Government promised to introduce a register of holiday lets and consult on making planning permission necessary before turning a house into a holiday let - giving the council the opportunity to protect homes for permanent residence. — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK

I spoke in the debate on the Levelling Up Bill this afternoon, welcoming the new powers that Cornwall Council will have to make sure that local people have the homes they need. The Government has listened to me and my Cornish colleagues, for which I’m grateful. https://t.co/8ccPMBNpWC — PolitiTweet.org

If you have retired friends or family, please make sure they apply for Pension Credit to top up their income by 18 December. Pension Credit unlocks other benefits like a free tv licence and the Warm Homes Discount – and the £324 cost of living payment. https://t.co/rJABsJtRSM — PolitiTweet.org

I am working with George Eustice to remove the need for a directly-elected Mayor, but I am convinced that Cornwall can only benefit from having more power over its own future. — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK

The devolution deal is not going to be imposed on Cornwall – it must be approved by Cornwall Council and Parliament, and there will be extensive public consultation beforehand. — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK

The proposed devolution deal, signed by the Levelling Up Minister and local councillors today, promises to gives Cornwall Council greater control over transport budgets, building and skills delivery. — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK

The Government has announced that money from fines handed out to water companies that pollute our rivers and seas will be ring-fenced and re-invested in schemes that benefit our natural environment - the first policy from the @CEN_HQ manifesto to be adopted by the Government. https://t.co/tkuw4SN6sV — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK

Our farmers are vital – for our national food security, for our health and for our economy. But too often we have discouraged them by giving the impression that they are responsible for decline of our natural environment. I spoke up for Britain's farmers: https://t.co/CJ9HUxOEQF https://t.co/aaTYn3TwAi — PolitiTweet.org

Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK

I have signed the @CEN_HQ manifesto, containing six ambitious policies to restore the health of our rivers, seas, and waterways. Find out more about the manifesto: https://t.co/sgeMQymJAH https://t.co/pt0KKeHnLD — PolitiTweet.org
