🚨@NHSEngland has quietly dropped dementia from its priority list - despite it being the UK’s biggest cause of death. I challenged Health Secretary @wesstreeting to commit to reinstate it. He didn't. This is unacceptable, so I will keep campaigning. @alzheimerssoc @DementiaUK

Another day, another @UKLabour review — so many the Government has lost count! Stuck in an endless consultation cycle and incapable of making decisions. See my quote in today’s Daily Mail. 👇 🔗 @martinbeckford @CCHQPress

Govt told the NHS - no money without reform - then handed over £10.6bn. 💰 NHS bosses admit the money will be swallowed up in pay deals, extra tax, and increased drug costs. Without radical reforms, nothing will improve.🥀 @GBNEWS @PatrickChristys

This will mean that the new money announced @wesstreeting will only cover the basic cost pressures and leave no money left for investment or new activity.

The Government should look at how it can better support charities, especially considering it is taking an estimated ÂŁ1.4bn from them with their NICs increase. The aims behind @wendychambLD's PMB are sound. @StuartAndrew @PostcodeLottery @NCVO @CharityTimes @ThirdSector

The Government should not extend the principles of the Law Officers Convention and avoid answering legitimate questions about whether the Attorney General is involved in government decisions which could benefit his former and high profile clients. @RobertJenrick

The reality of the @tulipsadiq story is No10 and Labour knew she was under investigation and had these links, yet have stood by her for weeks— another example of @Keir_Starmer’s shocking lack of political judgement.🥀
Is Conservative criticism of Labour over Tulip Siddiq's resignation a bit "pot, kettle and black" given previous scandals, asks @vicderbyshire Conservative MP Joe Robertson: "It is our job to hold this government to account and this Prime Minister has a very bad lack of judgement." #Newsnight

The Prime Minister has agreed the Isle of Wight ferry services aren't good enough at PMQs. Residents shouldn't rely on unregulated, debt-laden firms for essential travel. We are united on the Island and beyond, we need change. @kitbradshaw @Peter_Henley @BBCSouthNews

By increasing National Insurance, Labour is imposing crippling costs on women’s charities like Refuge and Women’s Aid. This will force vital services to scale back, leaving vulnerable women at greater risk of harm. Read my quote in the @Telegraph today. 👇

The hidden danger of Labour's so-called 'Devolution': A centralisation of our Council's powers to a Mayor shared with others. The Isle of Wight Council should decide where we build houses, not a Hampshire-based Mayor. See below my letter to the Isle of Wight Council Leader 👇

The Government of Inquiries, Commissions and Reviews (Over 60 since July) won't hold a National Inquiry into the grooming of children and the apparent wall of silence from people in positions of authority. @KemiBadenoch is right - we need a national inquiry now.
