RT @ClaireCoutinho: Heating oil customers are being ripped off and Ed Miliband has taken no action since I first raised this with him last…

[Kevin Schofield @KevinASchofield]

Absolutely astonishing to see the shadow home secretary making a comment like this on the outcome of a jury trial.

Did he sit through it? Did he hear the legal arguments being made by the prosecution and defence? The judge's direction to the jury?

We're on a slippery slope.

Reform just managed to lose a vote in the Commons because they didn’t understand how to hold a division. This lot want to run the country but today they’ve shown they couldn’t run a bath

[Christopher Reid @CReidLincs]

A great choice. Pleased one of the two local candidates got selected.

[Sharon Edwards @SharonPolitics]

Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, selected as Conservative candidate for Greater Lincolnshire Mayor.

I am deeply saddened and disappointed that the new Labour Government has decided to close down National Citizen Service, @NCS.

I began pilots for NCS in opposition, to help build bridges across social divides. Young people from different backgrounds, different areas of the country, different ethnicities, faiths and sexualities would mix and work together – sometimes for the first time. In doing so, they were taken outside their normal comfort zones and had to work together, planning and delivering projects for their communities and learning vital practical and life skills along the way.

In government, we set up the full-scale programme, with cross-party support. It was the Big Society in action – a fantastic example of the positive and inspirational role young people can play in our modern, vibrant society. Lifelong friendships were built; resilience and self-confidence were nurtured; volunteering was encouraged; young people gained the creativity and soft skills needed to get on in life – and all could, and did, take part, ensuring that the opportunities offered were not the preserve of a privileged few. It was a programme that did a huge amount for social cohesion. Young people from BME backgrounds were particularly well-represented.

Since then, over one million young people have benefitted from the NCS experience. Indeed, it is a proud achievement and I still regularly get stopped in the street by parents who tell me what a positive difference NCS has made in the lives of their children; or by young people who have enjoyed taking part. The results speak for themselves, with an approval rating of over 90 per cent.

Much like young people, organisations need to grow, evolve and adapt to new challenges and changing times. NCS has constantly adapted to meet the times, not least during the pandemic, which impacted young people in such a devastating way. NCS has never been more vital, empowering our young people to be united in their diversity, with the skills to get on in life and the compassion to support each other.

But rather than be supported to become properly embedded in the fabric of our country and benefit generations to come, Labour are closing NCS for good. It is a deeply backward and regrettable step.

Good news @ULHT_News might finally enforce their "smoke-free site" finally rather than making ill people enter through clouds of smoke.

Government announces plans to make it illegal to smoke outside schools and hospitals in England

🚨 NEW: The Speaker has slammed Rachel Reeves for announcing the change to fiscal rules to the 'world's media' instead of to Parliament

"It is totally unacceptable... isn't it funny that it when it was [The Tories], it was [Labour] complaining to me. Get your acts together."

[Christopher Reid @CReidLincs]

As good as the new car park was when it opened, there cannot be a day since when everything in it has worked. Pay machines are always out of order, lifts and barriers when they aren't. Shambolic running from @lincolncouncil

[Andrew Bowie MP @AndrewBowie_MP]

I agree with Nick. This is far too important a Bill with such far reaching consequences for us to be asked to vote on it, with the details still to be published less than 5 weeks before and with only 5 hours scheduled for debate. Such a debate, such a bill, needs far more.

[Christopher Reid @CReidLincs]

Well that's as good a reason as anyone will need not to vote for him

[Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick]

Thank you @SuellaBraverman for your support.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Robert Jenrick has cancelled his event in Kent tomorrow due to the lack of interest from Tory members

"Due to the lack of members having RSVP'd, Robert will no longer be visiting Gravesend tomorrow, and we have therefore cancelled the event."

[Christopher Reid @CReidLincs]

Another day in the shambles that is the Jenrick campaign

[Kit Bradshaw @kitbradshaw]

NEW: Conservative MP Sir Christopher Chope says Kemi Badenoch is “preoccupied with her children” and “you can't spend all your time with your family at the same time as being leader of the opposition”.

He was speaking on this month's @itvmeridian The Last Word. @itvnewspolitics

[Eric McBirmingham @EricMcBirminghm]

@Mark_Storer86 @RobertJenrick Jenrick is dull, uncharismatic, has never achieved anything of note as a minister and is scandal ridden. What on earth do you see in him!

[Christopher Reid @CReidLincs]

@HFalconerMP Disingenuous to suggest the review would provide any positive changes to the (already poor) deal on offer. It is clear from what Government are suggesting that the intention is for the review to widen the mayorality to include Hull etc. Given Lincoln even less of a say.

[Christopher Reid @CReidLincs]

Didn't they get 6.5% last year under the Conservatives?

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

Teachers are getting a well-deserved pay rise.

The Conservatives left the profession overstretched and undervalued. We said we’d change that, and we meant it.
