Wonderful to hear @HelenMorganMP (Lib Dem) speak about the impact of hearing personal stories shared at the APPG on Smoking and Health's Smoking Survivors event. #TobaccoAndVapesBill

The Secretary of State for Health @WesStreeting highlights MPs’ opportunity to consign the devastating harms of smoking to the history books: "Creating the first Smokefree generation, and eventually, a Smokefree nation." #TobaccoAndVapesBill

I was delighted to see the Tobacco & Vapes Bill pass its Second Reading! As Co-Chair of the APPG on Smoking and Health, I have long called for a SmokeFree generation. This is a a matter close to my heart, both of my parents sadly died from smoking-related cancer.

Biggest public health reform in a generation introduced to Parliament today by our Government. We’ll deliver the first ever smoke-free generation, clamp down on youth vaping and reduce the costs to lives and taxpayers caused by smoking.

Migration has been part of the human experience since the beginning of time. We should embrace it, not fear it. @Guli_FD @SanctuaryFd

Important polling on public support for creating a healthier society. People value the wellbeing of themselves, their family and their community and understandably want a government on the same page.

‘We used to play out in the streets, but these days all the kids are fat and depressed because they’re sat at home on computers.’ These days...

So much about the immigration and asylum system is just completely unknown to people day to day. Some examples:

OUR SIDEWALKS HAVE BEEN SHRINKING! (and we need to reverse that) “#NewYork didn't always have such meager sidewalks -- over the years, the city systematically shrank pedestrian space to make room for motor vehicles.” Via @StreetsblogNYC @StreetsblogUSA nyc.streetsblog.org/2016/07/01/the…

Free legal advice: You don’t have to attend a riot to be prosecuted for conspiracy to riot. You don’t have to be present at a terrorist incident to be guilty of encouraging it. A lot of Twitter warriors will be getting some unpleasant knocks on the door over the coming weeks.

I still agree with this
