- Huge admiration for the Leeds United players deferring part of their wages to help support non playing staff - shame on the Premier League clubs taking tax payers cash to furlough their support staff whilst still paying in full their millionaire players
- Honoured to be elected as the Member of Parliament for Colne Valley and so proud of my fantastic team - we did it! #TeamJason @ColneValleyCons
- BREAKING NEWS - all of my Colne Valley constituency is among areas in Kirklees being taken out of the local restrictions from Wed 2nd Sept - this includes the Colne & Holme valleys, Lindley, Golcar, Crosland Moor, Netherton & Lindley - more info to follow @Examiner
- I've joined the Woodland Trust in calling for Councils to have Emergency Tree Plans and to ensure new developments have a minimum of 30% tree canopy cover @WoodlandTrust

- Delighted to announce that Huddersfield will be getting a daily direct LNER Azuma service to and from London from 18 May 2020, the first direct service in a generation - thanks to @DavidHorne & all the team @LNER for making this happen @Examiner @HuddsUnlimited @FelixhuddsCat
- I was shocked & disgusted by the video of an incident in Holmfirth yesterday. I had a police briefing first thing this morning & 2 people have been arrested on suspicion of racist aggravated offences. Our community stands united against racism & discrimination of any kind
- Come on Boris, you’re a fighter, our country needs you! Thinking of you, Carrie & all your family at this very distressing time #GetWellBoris
- Just been on a zoom call with Matt Hancock, I expressed frustration that my Colne Valley constituency included in new Kirklees household restrictions as infection rates very low in Colne Valley, will be reviewed in 1 week & I’ll keep pressing for use of more localised data
- Govt update on review of restrictions for Kirklees tmrw/Friday at 1100 with new localised data. I’m pressing Kirklees Council to join me in making the case for areas with negligible cases, including the Colne and Holme Valleys and Lindley, to come out of added restrictions ASAP
- On the train to London where I’ll be backing fellow Yorkshire MP Rishi Sunak to be our party leader & next PM. We need competent & stable Government led by Rishi to help get our economy back on track. Let’s unite, deliver for our community & our country & take the fight to Labour
- Have co-signed this letter calling on IPSA (Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority) NOT to give MPs a pay rise in the current circumstances. Whilst so many of my constituents face uncertainty it is only right that MPs pay is frozen
