This morning, I visited Coral in Windsor to take part in the @BetGameCouncil Grand National Charity Bet, where I backed Delta Work. I will be donating any winnings to @SebsActionTrust, a fantastic charity providing vital support to the families of seriously-ill children. https://t.co/Cu0URIAevw
This is such good news for our country. This is the UK re-engaging with the world after the dark days of EU subservience, when we subjugated ourselves to an unaccountable foreign power. Joining CPTPP shows we can trade without giving up our borders, our laws or our democracy. https://t.co/V1MLxMVfgX
In 2010, Joanna Brown was brutally murdered by her husband in my constituency. However, her killer, Robert Brown, is set to be released from prison in November. Today, I asked @DominicRaab if he can use new powers to ask the Parole Board to look again at Brown's planned release. https://t.co/7mztvTz56W
It was great to watch the friendly UK vs. Ukraine Solidarity Chess match this week between grandmasters Michael Adams and Andrei Volokitin, with the Speaker ceremonially opening the game.

I don’t like or agree with @GaryLineker ‘s nasty & insensitive comments, but I want him be to free to express his opinions, unless he is either breaking the law or breaching his BBC contract, in which case he must face the consequences. #FreedomOfSpeech
This #NoSmokingDay is an important opportunity to move closer to our Smokefree 2030 target. By ensuring access to a full range of alternatives such as e-cigarettes & heated tobacco, the Government are working to reduce tobacco related harm in the UK.
I am delighted to learn that the @educationgovuk have approved new free schools in Bracknell Forest and Windsor & Maidenhead, providing education and support for children & young people with special educational needs. This is part of £2.6bn of government funding for new schools.
