- How do my colleagues @EdwardJDavey @mpmwilko @JamesMacCleary @ThomasMorrison celebrate Men's Health week? Dad jokes.
00:00 - Danny Chambers MP 🔸🩺 repostedLabour ministers are pointing fingers at each other over funding when they could just take up our plan to issue Defence Bonds which would inject a desperately-needed £20bn and ease financial pressures on defence immediately.@AlistairCarns tells @cathynewman that the defence investment plan funding settlement “is not enough” (yet - despite collective responsibility - seems to be still in his job)
- Danny Chambers MP 🔸🩺 repostedThe Prime Minister must stop begging tech companies to tackle child sexual abuse material and take decisive action to protect children online. @munirawilson, @DannyVet, @CarolineVoaden
00:00 - We're all far more likely to be treated by immigrants working for our NHS than we are to be waiting in queue behind them. In our local hospital, staff come from 104 different countries and a third of the social care workforce in Hampshire come from outside of the EU or UK.
00:00I urged the Home Secretary to reflect on how her immigration reforms could seriously impact our NHS and social care workforce. - Financial abuse is a form of domestic abuse. A parent that refuses to attend court leaves the other parent stuck in this loop of abuse, with no means of escaping. I raised this with the Solicitor General, asking why parents who fail to show up to court evade prosecution.
00:00 - Danny Chambers MP 🔸🩺 repostedWith leaking roofs, a huge repair backlog, and vital A&E and maternity services under pressure, patients deserve action, not hypothetical projects. @DannyVet
00:00 - The Government's Veterinary Medicines Directorate is concerned that pet flea treatments sold in supermarkets are washing pesticides into Britain's rivers lakes and chalk streams, killing aquatic life.
00:00These include the chemicals fipronil and imidacloprid which are banned from agricultural use to protect bees. Millions of pets are blanket treated for fleas the ticks every month whether they need it or not.We already require professional advice from suitably qualified people before selling products to treat parasites for farm animals. A chemical too dangerous for use in a agriculture should not be available over the counter. - Danny Chambers MP 🔸🩺 repostedWhat does the reaction to Henry Nowak’s treatment by the police mean for community relations in the South and public confidence in policing?

- Danny Chambers MP 🔸🩺 reposted‘It really shows the urgency of the need to strengthen our defence in this country.’ Liberal Democrat MP James MacCleary discusses the Government’s defence spending plan and argues that more investment should be directed to British industry rather than to the United States.
00:00 - Nobody is getting a fair deal if people can’t afford healthy British food and producers can’t make a profit producing it to high welfare standards.Replying to @DannyVet @LibDems and @amcarmichaelMPIt would ringfence agriculture funding, protect support payments and move to a 3-year funding deal to give farmers the certainty they need. The government should also support a bespoke UK-EU customs union, making it easier for businesses to export to their main markets in the EUFood security is national security, and given the current geopolitical uncertainty, not since the 1940s has it been more important to ensure that we have an agricultural sector that can feed our nation.
