‘I’ve had massive highs and deep lows’: Edward Timpson on winning for the Tories and being sacked by Liz Truss
theguardian.com/uk-news/arti…
During a recent debate I spoke about the critical role that hospices such as @StLukesHospice & @HospiceGS play in providing end-of-life care and support for patients and their families.
I emphasised the importance of addressing funding inequality to ensure that hospices can continue to provide essential care and support to the community.

Local transport was one of my key focuses at the last General Election and I am delighted that the Government is committed to improving local transport links including the re-opening of the Beeston Castle & Tarporley Railway Station.

Today is #SelfHarmAwarenessDay.
People turn to self harm for respite and escape, not for pain. That is why it is vital to reduce the stigma and dispel the myths around self harm and be there to help and support those who need us.
I welcome the £349,115,000 for Cheshire as part of the Government’s long-term plan to level up local transport in Eddisbury.
This will provide almost 11 million people across the region with nearly 9 times more transport funding.

By redirecting money that would have been spent on HS2 we are now seeing more investment in local transport including more money to fill potholes & extending the £2 bus fare cap.
Working with @transportgovuk we are levelling up #Eddisbury & transforming how people travel.

Last week I signed the Book of Commitment for #HolocaustMemorialDay.
We have a duty to remember the atrocities of the past, stand with survivors, reaffirm our commitment to tackling antisemitic hatred and ensuring this never happens again.
It’s not always easy to talk about it, but sharing how we feel with others is often the crucial first step to improving our mental health.
Today is #TimeToTalk Day, a great opportunity to start!
@MindCharity
535 pharmacies from across #Cheshire and #Merseyside have signed up for #PharmacyFirst!
The scheme will free up vital GP appointments, help treat patients sooner & deliver more care in communities.
I welcomed the news earlier today in the House.

Measles cases are on the rise in England.
You can still ask your GP practice for the MMR vaccine if your child has missed either of the 2 required doses.
Anyone else of any age who has not received the MMR vaccine should also call their GP practice.

[2/2] I also wrote on behalf of all Cheshire Conservative MPs to Cheshire East Council Leader, Sam Corcoran, to bolster that opposition, and encourage him to reconsider his approach on his side of the County, for the benefit of his residents. Read the letter below!
