MPs will have an opportunity to debate the impact of silica dust exposure in the workplace this week. Eastleigh MP @LizJarvisUK called the Westminster Hall debate and has previously proposed legislation on greater prevention and monitoring of silicosis. @itvmeridian

Yesterday morning I was on Sky News talking to Anna Jones and Leah Boleto about the campaign to protect workers including kitchen fitters and stonemasons from the dangers of silica dust from engineered stone.

NEW: Local elections "should never have been cancelled in the first place", says Lib Dem MP Jess Brown-Fuller. Chichester MP argues that the U-turn "shows the Government does not have a strategic vision for this country". @itvmeridian

Great point from @DougieCritchley . Romano's coverage of Greenwood feels disproportionate, and he should be held to account.
How on earth did this AI image of Mason Greenwood winning the Ballon D'Or get through Fabrizio's team? How did no one say... hang on, this isn't a good idea.

And colossally that’s Lando! Huge congratulations to @LandoNorris on becoming Britain’s 11th Formula One World Champion. A fantastic achievement. And well done to everyone at McLaren in Woking who powered him to the title.

Criminal gangs have built a mountain of illegal waste by the River Cherwell. The police are calling the mega fly-tipping across the county ‘the new narcotics’. It’s time Labour clean this mess up in Oxfordshire and everywhere else.

Guilty as charged. I wonder if @Nigel_Farage will be giving a press conference on this one?

Yesterday, I spoke to ITV about the Government’s mixed messages on special educational needs provision, which is doing nothing to fix a system that is already failing families. The Government must provide SEND families with the certainty and clarity they've been waiting for.

Nothing to see here, just a GB News presenter suggesting the BBC bung Donald Trump a few million of licence fee payers' money.

Samir Zitouni and Stephen Crean are heroes who saved lives. They showed the best of Britain: putting themselves in harm's way to protect others. They both deserve the George Cross in recognition of their incredible bravery.

The @LibDems leader @EdwardJDavey has been in Berkshire this morning building a raft at @DintonPastures with Wokingham MP @CliveJonesMP. Behind the fun was a serious message about @thameswater.

A brilliant response from @libdemdaisy
'I stood up for my values, I don't like seeing racism in our society.' @libdemdaisy responds to Tommy Robinson's 'expletive' reaction to her PMQs question about him.

"It was once said of Ming that he runs the risk of giving politicians a good name. Well, he certainly did that." Ed Davey remembers Ming Campbell 🔽
