Housing costs are squeezing family budgets, especially in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, and we need action to drive down house prices and rents. The Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill is a welcome development, but it must support renters and drive down the cost of housing. https://t.co/gpEC49kRy2 — PolitiTweet.org

Food bills are also going up, driven by the cost of fertilisers and fuel to farmers, fishermen and other food producers. We need to supercharge homegrown food production in the same way that we have supercharged domestic energy production. https://t.co/mDOcNNZD17 — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
I spoke in the debate on the Queen’s Speech to demand more action on the cost of living. Rising energy bills are at the root of the current crisis. The government’s Energy Security Strategy will help in the long term, but people need help now - especially with standing charges. https://t.co/GErFzVKAr0 — PolitiTweet.org

Cornwall has a rich history of mining, stretching back as far as the Bronze Age. But what impact on the environment will modern-day mining have? At our next Climate Focus, we'll be hearing from local experts on this fascinating topic. Details on https://t.co/CkvxMojK1L — PolitiTweet.org

The Government will be giving local authorities the power to double council tax on second homes. It’s a welcome step in the right direction, but doesn’t go far enough: we need planning restrictions to protect homes for permanent residence and stop the flow to holiday lets. — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
I’ve been shocked at how many empty houses there are in Cornwall in the middle of a housing crisis. I was told about one – and found it was bought by the Council two years ago, and has been left empty! If you know of a house that could be rented, please let my office know. https://t.co/Ka2x8ko2hF — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
The current system doesn’t take account of our diverse housing – especially in Cornwall – or new technologies like heat pumps. The announcement shows that applying pressure on practical problems can get the action we need. https://t.co/Ymu5N4dcU8 — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
You can’t measure the efficiency of our homes if you use a dud methodology, so I’m pleased that the Government is to reform the EPC system. I’ve been fighting for this for years because it impacts the availability of affordable homes for local families. https://t.co/DnTUQ5gNBW — PolitiTweet.org

While you’re enjoying your bank holiday, you might be looking forward to your summer holiday. If you’re planning to go abroad, please check whether you need to renew your passport! The Passport Office is reporting unprecedented demand, so don't leave it till the last minute... https://t.co/KJ0Ag0A8W6 — PolitiTweet.org

There are grants and benefits available for help with the cost of living – but often people don’t know about them. Citizens Advice give free and independent advice on the support that is available, and their Money Roadshow is coming to the Family Hub in Penzance next week. https://t.co/PfqKt3Fs2Y — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
I spoke in a debate about affordable housing. Cornwall Council needs the tools to stop houses becoming second homes or holiday lets, through its devolution deal and planning legislation. More than that, we need to provide incentives to landlords to rent to long-term tenants. https://t.co/UDhI439Kyu — PolitiTweet.org

Today I learnt that I am on the Russian Duma’s list of MPs who "took the most active part in creating anti-Russian tools”, and have consequently been sanctioned by the Russian parliament. I shall follow the Prime Minister’s advice and treat this as a badge of honour. — PolitiTweet.org

Scilly Drop-ins I shall be visiting all the inhabited islands next week. You don’t need to make an appointment to come to any of my drop-ins – everyone is welcome, whether you want to raise an issue, ask for my help or just tell me your views. https://t.co/HTDHoRfgXF — PolitiTweet.org

Brain tumours are a vicious form of cancer: even if they can be removed, the impact of surgery, radiotherapy and drugs – and the tumour itself – can cause lifelong injury to the brain. We must ensure children have the therapy and rehabilitation they need. https://t.co/gUTbfM6o0a — PolitiTweet.org

I have been championing the Bishop of Truro’s report into religious persecution, and its call to make freedom of religion central to the Foreign Office’s mission, and I'm glad to see progress on what @pmounstephen recommended. https://t.co/HkX8L80gib — PolitiTweet.org

In 2020, 23 million children worldwide missed out on their vaccinations due to the pandemic and other crises. In #WorldImmunisationWeek I pledged to help protect the future of the world’s children with @UnicefUK_Action https://t.co/JYtIZW3l8W — PolitiTweet.org

At our Climate Focus meeting tomorrow at 5pm, we’ll be hearing from Cornwall Council’s public transport lead, Melanie Watson. Cornwall has received £23.5 million from the government to encourage more people back on to our buses – but how? Register at https://t.co/oqGsGSFqFT https://t.co/UGOIajNG2C — PolitiTweet.org

Cornwall Council need to act to relieve the pressure on housing – and it’s appalling that the council’s own company has the worst record. — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
Nothing is more frustrating in the middle of a housing crisis than seeing empty houses. By far the biggest offender is Cornwall Housing, who have 135 empty properties. This is a scandal when there are families in Cornwall living in temporary accommodation. — PolitiTweet.org

You have twenty-four hours left to let the government know your views on the future of fisheries management! We need everyone with an interest in our fisheries to ensure they are managed in a way that is good for the fishing industry and for our future. https://t.co/bynH8HrFP3 https://t.co/VDWshZ0va9 — PolitiTweet.org

When the Environment Act was going through Parliament, we forced the government to include a commitment to tackling sewage discharges. The government is now consulting on the largest programme to reduce storm sewage discharges in history. Take part at https://t.co/W3XMv0GLUH https://t.co/4Ae3bEa3SG — PolitiTweet.org

The NHS needs the right people with the right skills in the right places. In Cornwall, we have enormous problems getting the staff we need. Throughout the country, patients with brain tumours aren’t getting access to CNSs. We need workforce planning. https://t.co/K8W7XJBCzW — PolitiTweet.org
Derek Thomas MP @DerekThomasUK
I had the great honour of meeting and working with Tom Parker during his battle to fight his brain cancer. Tom turned his battle into a campaign to highlight the lack of effective treatment and support for brain tumour sufferers, which we will continue. My sympathy to his family. https://t.co/i9SRaVSl8D — PolitiTweet.org

One of the reasons I'm campaigning for upgrades to the A30 is that a major trunk road going through villages like Crowlas affects air quality. You can give your view on including National Highways into the statutory Air Quality Management framework: https://t.co/3Wpi3PVgyk https://t.co/kj2F4Ybvb2 — PolitiTweet.org

There was something quite poignant as I walked to Parliament past Westminster Abbey as it was being prepared for the thanksgiving service for Prince Philip’s life. His long life of service to the Queen, our country and the Commonwealth sets the theme for today’s service. https://t.co/DNfxl7vkU9 — PolitiTweet.org

I met Tim Henman to learn how @the_LTA plans to “open up” tennis – making sure that the game is accessible to anyone, from any background. As the weather improves, it’s a good time to be getting out on the courts. Find out more at https://t.co/akxVVDzqXb https://t.co/Xt6HgSOJDj — PolitiTweet.org

I’m looking forward to seeing you - and your dogs! - at the Great Western Dog Walk tomorrow. We’re meeting in Penzance at 1 o’clock and walking to raise money for Brain Tumour charities.
