I've already been lobbying Jake Berry at the Northern Embassy meeting for improvements to Lincoln. As well as speaking with Matt Hancock, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care about our City's and County's NHS provision. Not bad for a first week in the role! ✅

Absolute scenes @HouseofCommons as Speaker decides to break with convention after intense pressure from HMLO/Lab Chief Whip and others. Would love to see the WhatsApp, emails & other Comms of the 8 Labour MPs overhead last night saying ‘…it’s ok, Lindsay is sorting it for us…’

A vote for The Brexit Party is a vote against Brexit… ❌ voting for BXP will keep Lincoln red with a Labour MP who has blocked and rejected Brexit at every opportunity and now wants another referendum.

‘Funny that’ in a very unfunny serious sort of @CommonsTrans @transportgovuk @HouseofCommons sort of way. Many of my @Conservatives colleagues on the committee have long harboured doubts on the figures we were quoted & provided… & this firms up those doubts ahead of EV report.

Tricking Parliament, spending public funds to hide the facts, misleading a journalist who asked questions. Can the Climate Change Committee survive this?

Thankyou OG Realised quite some time ago, & it’s been a long, lonely, winding road at times, but more & more colleagues are now aware of challenges, & privately entirely agree with our view: ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes moment, as pointed out in ‘Fuelling the Future’ Report awaits.

“Karl’s had crazy expenses.” Here’s a comparison of my total monthly expenses (averaged out over the seven -7- full financial years I served as your MP) vs. those expenses of Karen Lee, our current Labour MP. I am far better ‘value for money’... Source:

Politicisation of the pandemic in the UK; by opposition politicians, our appalling 3rd rate biased + ill-informed media who confuse news with entertainment, + scientists with political affiliations, has been shocking, profoundly depressing + worsened our whole ghastly situation.

At the East Midlands Reception, Prime Minister @BorisJohnson shared that he is backing me for re-election in Lincoln, and mentioned Karen Lee, who sent a 'Happy Birthday' tweet to the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. 🎂

My constant promotion of Lincoln’s transport issues in questions, meetings and committees has not gone unnoticed by the executive. The Prime Minister this week specifically mentions Lincoln as part of his plan to improve transport across the country.

Anyone noticed how ‘off message’ NS is up in Scotland? It is a delightful and welcome change since the lack of imparting information to her ahead of @10DowningStreet announcements (due to her previous deviousness) means she has nothing to say of relevance. Blessed relief. 🤔😇🙂

Sensible centrist types think the world is going to fry if Britain backs away from "climate leadership" - despite there being "net zero" evidence that anyone is following Britain's lead. They're insane. Net Zero is the product of decades of propaganda. Most people take it as…

If any NHS/Health/Emergency Services worker has difficulties accessing provisions in/around Lincoln, (although smaller & independent stores seem to have most foods readily available) pls do email my office with your full contact details & we will pass on to store Mgrs to assist.
