@LeeBarronMP, as your constituent, I urge you to attend the 2nd reading of Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on 29 November, and vote for choice.

Every constituency in Great Britain backs assisted dying, including ours. It’s time to change the law.

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

@Flyer_Magazine Great news.

.@WBHoekstra, join the island states and back their call for a complete fossil fuel phase out at #COP28. Be a climate leader and phase out fossil fuels now!

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

I agree with @Whichuk. Stocking budget ranges in Tesco Express stores would make a big difference to customers struggling with the cost of living.

@Tesco Make #AffordableFoodForAll

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

Another summer, and another year of airlines treating passengers with contempt. I’m with @WhichUK - this needs to change

The only way to stamp out this bad behaviour is clear: @RishiSunak must give the @UK_CAA the powers to fine airlines who break the rules

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

I’m with @WhichUK. @RishiSunak it's up to you! Show passengers you're on their side and give the @UK_CAA powers to fine airlines that break the law.

If they’re never punished, they’ll never change.

.@RishiSunak will you make or break care? Older people and their carers need better care *now* not in 3+ years' time. Show them you care, give councils decent funding on 27th Oct.

Without this care reform will fail.

It’s time to Get Ocean Protection Done! Only the Government can properly protect our Marine Protected Areas by restricting the licenses of destructive boats in all 76 offshore MPAs. @BorisJohnson @VictoriaPrentis, @pow_rebecca end #DestructiveFishing now

THANK YOU - NOW SHARE THIS CAMPAIGN https://t.co/RlKTu9N2Zp

Dear @BorisJohnson, #TheTimeIsNow to stop funding fossil fuels overseas and switch to renewables. This means more jobs in the UK & around the world, cleaner air and a healthier planet. It’s just good business! What are you waiting for?

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

I’m with @whichuk. @DefraGovUK must #SaveFoodStandards in the Agriculture Bill.

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

Today @age_uk handed a petition to #FixCare to @10DowningStreet on my behalf.

@BorisJohnson you promised to #FixCare when you became PM a year ago. Our broken care system has now been decimated by coronavirus and fixing care is more urgent than ever. Will you keep your promise?

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

@WjrWendy A really great 'flying farmer' crazy flying routine. Hilarious.

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

Ahead of tomorrow's cabinet meeting I want you to know that I support the changes to pension tax relief proposed today @DominicRaab. It will help provide our NHS with £ it needs. #NHSTax

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

.@EstherMcVey1 please commit to including ALL our pensions on the #pensionsdashboard

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

@UK_CAA Remember that General Aviation is the foundation for all civil aviation and needs to be nurtured. Best wishes.

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

@AirPilotsCo John Turner has emphasised the importance of air displays in motivating young people towards a career in aviation, in addition to the shows being one of the largest outdoor attractions for the public.

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

@dimnoc @Miss__Demeanour I too remember that talk and the many times I saw you display the aircraft in your inimitable fashion. Many thanks indeed for some memorable occasions. You and Miss Demeanour gave us some magic moments.

[Barry Tempest @skybolt1938]

@pilot_mag Keith had been a significant member of the display pilot fraternity in the UK for many decades, especially on multi engine prop driven aeroplanes. A fine pilot and a wonderful character who was always happy to pass on advice to those getting started in the airshow world. RIP.

@ammhphotography @gliderFX @RAFBBMF @AOPA So sad. Chris reintroduced me to gliding in the early 1990's while he was the BGA National Coach. He was a good friend and a superb glider pilot and instructor. His partnership with Tizi Hodson at Tiger Airways at Staverton was a huge success I will miss him enormously. RIP
