Great news Chancellor announces Freeport status for Humber ports. More investment and jobs coming to this area and more Government funding for renewables and port infrastructure

A great day, despite all the hurdles placed in the way. - We Got Brexit Done and delivered on the referendum result

Just come out of meeting with Health Secretary after his announcement that Tier 3 restrictions continue. An opportunity to talk about testing, vaccinations & extra support for our area

Ignore reports that Covid vaccines won't be available in northern Lincolnshire. They will

Having spent last couple of days being briefed by ministers & local health chiefs I will support the tier system. The approach is sensible. It's a blow for many local businesses but we've got to squeeze out the virus. Better a few extra weeks of restrictions than prolonging agony

As a constituency MP, I will champion the bid by @ABPHumber. This bid includes the UK's largest port complex and will provide new and exciting job and investment opportunities.

It's now vital that we have a meaningful bidding window so that the best bids can be developed. This is not just a policy for England but the whole of the UK and I urge the Devolved Administrations to seize the freeports opportunity in their nations as well.

I am delighted that the #freeport bidding process opens in England today. The Government has responded to the key concerns that the APPG has heard from industry and I have every confidence that many strong bids will be submitted.

I'm delighted to have been appointed as the Prime Minister's Trade envoy to the Western Balkans and to play a part in building trade links between the UK, Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia

Today the Prime Minister has appointed 15 new UK Trade Envoys. They will support the UK’s economic recovery and help businesses take advantage of the opportunities arising from our new trading relationships. Read more: https://t.co/GWmRpzF3hj Here's what a Trade Envoy is👇

Thank you to @MartinVickers MP for Cleethorpes for visiting Today's Extra Fiveways Store with Nick Ramsden MD Ramsden Group and Lisa Flear, HR Director Ramsden Group, to talk about the work local shops have been doing to feed their communities throughout the Covid-19 crisis

Boris Johnson is absolutely right to demonstrate that we are a sovereign nation and will do all that is necessary to protect the UK's interests. He deserves our full support for delivering the Brexit that the country voted for.

Along with Grimsby colleague Lia Nici I had an excellent meeting with fishing industry reps ahead of next Tuesday"s parliamentary debate on the Fisheries Bill

Excellent meeting at Job Centre this morning to hear about help and support available as we emerge from Covid measures

Advice to Government is children don't need to wear masks but if schools want their pupils to wear them they can. Why are we even discussing it?

Reports that I will be at today's Black Lives Matter protest in Cleethorpes are wrong No MP councillor or official representative should be there. Under coronavirus restrictions there should be no gatherings of 6+. We want to restrict infection Please stay away & stop the spread

Watch this, it's a fantastic. Some highlights of our great county and the rural community. https://t.co/x2bMrK7JM2 Please support the Lincolnshire Rural Support Network

I've said many times Cleethorpes is the Premier resort on the east coast I can understand why you would want to visit but leave it for another day There are many elderly & vulnerable who are concerned about an influx of visitors Just because you can come, doesn't mean you should
