- I have today offered my resignation from the Government & look forward to supporting @Conservatives & campaigning for #Worcester from the backbenches, it has been a privilege to work to support our brilliant schools
- Welcome news that the Netherlands is the latest EU country, along with Italy, France, Spain and others to confirm they will protect the rights of UK nationals in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Will continue to push all Member States to do the same as soon as possible.
- Gutted for @WorcsWarriors players today, outraged the directors didn’t even bother to turn up to court. Urging administrators to do all they can to get the club through this & restore professional rugby to Sixways & urging PRL & RFU don’t take the P share & give us a route back
- Delighted to be appointed by @borisjohnson to join @Nadhimzahawi at @educationgovuk as Minister for Schools - an enormous challenge and a huge opportunity to level up & support the next generationThank you to everyone for the warm welcome. It's been great to speak to so many of you who play a crucial role expanding opportunities and improving outcomes for our young people.
- A huge honour to be made Minister for the union working with @BorisJohnson @ScotSecofState & @NIOgov - our precious union deserves to thrive through brexit & beyond. I will work with colleagues all across the UK to ensure that it does
- This was true 3 months ago but it is more urgent than ever now. We need a leader who can govern effectively & with compassion, restore trust & bring us back into contention with Labour - speaking to colleagues & constituents I am clearer than ever that is @RishiSunak
- We have some excellent candidates running for leadership of the @Conservatives having paid close attention to the hustings & debates, I am backing @RishiSunak #Ready4Rishi
- To deliver for Britain we need economic credibility, experience & great communication, someone who can be trusted to look after the most vulnerable, protect livelihoods & support our NHS - @RishiSunak has all of this & can bring the party together #ReadyForRishiWhy I support @RishiSunak to become Prime Minister & leader of the @Conservatives party - a clear plan to deal with inflation, compassion to provide help where it’s most needed & the drive, experience & ability to succeed @worcester_tory #Ready4Rishi
00:00 - Honoured to be promoted to Minister of State in the Northern Ireland Office, it’s been a privilege to serve with @JulianSmithUK & I look forward to supporting @BrandonLewis in such a crucial role
- A lot on the order paper today but the most important debate for @WorcsWarriors will be the last - v grateful to the House authorities for recognising the urgency of this & giving me the first available slot for a backbencher
- Joining millions in saying a prayer for the PM tonight - get better Boris, your country needs you
- After such a horrible day yesterday, some cheering news from @Begbies today that they have secured the land - crucial and hopefully a major step forward to securing new investment, well done #saveourwarriors #COYW
- Totally agree, this would be a big mistake and would put people off using TwitterHaving campaigned against PAID-FOR scam ads for years, I'm concerned at rumours Twitter will turn the verified #blueTick into a paid-for option. Scammers, shysters, criminals are likely to be happy to pay for, and manipulate this, for a veneer of legitimacy.
