We are lucky enough to live in a place surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty. But we need to make sure that they are managed in everyone’s interests – local communities, farmers, and families who need a place to live.

On #WorldWaterDay2022 the UN is focusing on groundwater. The threats to rivers and seas from climate change or pollution are obvious – but the water in our ground is just as critical. The Environment Act gives more powers over water quality, and we must not forget groundwater. https://t.co/6fEFKn9rwh — PolitiTweet.org

How do we work with our rich heritage to build healthy and prosperous communities for the future? We need to protect Cornwall’s unique inheritance of landscape & history, but we can’t let Cornwall become a museum. Cornwall Council is asking for your views https://t.co/Mddn42KQzf — PolitiTweet.org

Some people get nervous visiting new places – or just want to find out whether they’re fully accessible in advance. When I heard that this was putting people off coming to my office, I asked @Ocean3DUK to produce a guided tour. You can have a look round: https://t.co/DFJOVtKJ11 — PolitiTweet.org

There’s no conflict between working towards net zero and supporting those hit by high energy prices. I’ve joined @thisischerilyn in arguing for grants and tax incentives for insulation, which can help people right now. https://t.co/1H2brkmia5 — PolitiTweet.org

St Ives School has planted over a thousand trees as part of a G7 Legacy project. The mini forest has been planted on the school site, to create an 800 square metre outdoor classroom that whole classes can use. I was happy to lend a hand with Linda Taylor from @CornwallCouncil! https://t.co/kFKsAnbjOX — PolitiTweet.org

The rise in the cost of living is affecting us all, but it hits pensioners particularly hard. I have been pushing for the government to return the “triple lock” – a straightforward way to increase their income. https://t.co/1VLYuzn0Xj — PolitiTweet.org

It's Brain Tumour Awareness Month - and the Great Western Dog Walk Returns! I'm looking forward to the first dog walk for two years - it's great meeting so many people who share an interest in beating brain tumours and raising money for vital research and support. And their dogs. https://t.co/C8x9NDZXTk — PolitiTweet.org

Women and girls still face discrimination all over the world. It’s especially brutal when combined with religious persecution – and women from religious minorities are specifically targeted for both their faith and their gender. On #IWD2022 please watch: https://t.co/nUbZaxf7P2 — PolitiTweet.org

St Piran’s day gives us a reason to celebrate Cornwall and Cornish life every year – but this year is very special.

Russia Today is not just a terrible television channel – its own editor-in-chief calls it the Kremlin’s “information weapon”. We cannot allow it to continue transmitting in the UK – and I have written to @NadineDorries demanding that she takes action to shut the station down. — PolitiTweet.org

Strong winds and large waves, coupled with the storm surge, are likely to cause a tidal surge in Cornwall this Friday, especially at the high tide. Read more of the Environment Agency’s advice at https://t.co/PXGkwg6AYX — PolitiTweet.org

The government is consulting on removing Local Connection tests for victims. I’m the first to say that social housing should go to local people, but this can mean that victims of abuse have to stay in the same town as the perpetrator. What do you think? https://t.co/FvHYPQniSC — PolitiTweet.org

The government’s Domestic Abuse Act is putting this horrible crime at the top of our agenda. We need to support the victims of domestic abuse to recover and rebuild their lives – and I’m pleased that Cornwall has been given £1.176 million to provide vital support services. — PolitiTweet.org

Saving for your future is essential, but people often need a nudge in the right direction. Ten years ago, the government introduced Automatic Enrolment into pensions – and now 7,000 workers in St Ives have been enrolled. A stronger savings culture is great news for our future. — PolitiTweet.org

This is good news, but it's ridiculous that it has taken so long to enforce such an obvious breach of planning conditions. I'm continuing to press the government for “on the spot” fines against rogue developers. https://t.co/ujB6vMtxiy — PolitiTweet.org
