I am deeply grateful to @GillianKeegan announcing today that the admissions cap for faith schools will be scrapped. This will finally allow us to open new Catholic schools — all part of our plan to deliver better standards for all pupils and more choices for parents.
Fifteen months since the Government announced they were taking over Scampton to house 2,000 migrants and not a single one has arrived. The site needs to be released for redevelopment so that we can get the biggest and best levelling up deal we've ever had for an RAF base.
For 14 years I have campaigned for the iniquitous admissions cap on faith-based new schools to be scrapped. I'm hoping for good news soon.
Here in Gainsborough we have the finest urban Tudor hall in England — visit Gainsborough Old Hall! @EnglishHeritage In the 1960s some councillors wanted to knock it down and build a car park. Thanks to the Friends of the Old Hall it was saved. And currently blooming! 🌷
It is vital that one of the best runways in the country is preserved for a full range of uses. I'm glad the Defence Secretary is going to meet with me to discuss RAF Scampton's long-term future.
Jerusalem is a multi-faith city, but Christians of the Armenian Quarter are facing threats and intimidation. As good friends of Israel we need to call out the thuggish behaviour of the extremist settler movement and those few officials who sympathise with them. @SavetheArQ
Detaining and deporting illegal migrants is the only real deterrent.
Gainsborough on the up! Constant renovation at the Market Place. 🚧🧱🔨👷🏻🏗️🪚🛠️🦺 Here at the Old Town Hall.
Why should people living in rural areas be second-class citizens when it comes to mobile phone coverage?
There is no sense in building solar panels on good arable land. Ministers have continually reassured me that the guidance against this is clear. We must keep up the fight to make sure planning authorities don't slip up.
I fear my colourful phraseology in tonight's debate may have veered into the unparliamentary. But, as ever, Madam Deputy Speaker was gracious and gentle in her rebuke.
At the Buddies Dementia Cafe in Nettleham today helping dementia sufferers and their carers. Elvis turned up — alive and well!
This weekend I met with local campaigners. Proposal for 13,000 acres to be covered with solar farms within a six-mile radius around Gainsborough. And generating only 15 per cent the output of a power station. Ridiculous. We will carry on fighting against it.

Cllr Lewis Strange was the kindest of souls and a true gent. I feel honoured to have known him. He cared so very much about Lincolnshire and always reasoned his point of view with respect, honesty and good humour. You will be greatly missed Lewis.
@ConservGains @EdwardLeighMP So sorry to learn of Lewis's passing. An excellent and caring councillor and a real gentleman. He will be sadly missed.
It is with immense sadness that the Gainsborough Constituency Conservative Association has learnt of the death of Councillor Charles Lewis Strange, who passed away at Castle Hill Hospital, Cottingham overnight on Thursday 28th May 2020, following a short illness.
@McNestry @EdwardLeighMP Its Bomber county not a country. Named due to the history of WW2, people like you can ignore but you can't change what has happened or said.
Update - I got away fairly lightly, and the Labrador still recognised me 👍
