...and have incredible expertise, will be absolutely vital to that just transition. I can promise them that, as long as the SNP is in government, we will protect them from the damaging plans of Keir Starmer and Labour, which would end up seeing them thrown on the scrap heap.
Ivan McKee: ...the brief ceasefire in November last year. Those negotiations must also lead to the recognition of a Palestinian state, which I believe is now the United Kingdom Labour Party’s position. If Keir Starmer becomes the next Prime Minister, I hope to see that promise delivered without delay, and not abandoned, as has been the case with other commitments. I know that there are many good...
Ross Greer: ...Marra has to be joking—he would not take a single intervention. Workers in Scotland get so much for that £6 a year, yet the Labour Party rejects it. It is abundantly clear to all of us that Keir Starmer—not Anas Sarwar or Michael Marra—sets Scottish Labour’s tax policies, but they are the ones who are left owing the public an explanation of where the £1.5 billion of Labour cuts...

Sally-Ann Hart: ...for that purpose. Well, Labour had better get building more schools, because it intends to implement the policy as soon as the right hon. and learned Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer) enters Downing Street, with no consultation or risk analysis. What a nonsense. The policy will harm both the state and the independent sector, and there will be an exodus of pupils into an...
Ruth Jones: ...is a debate about the future of steel, not the past. There is hope for steel, because a UK Labour Government led by my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer) would start by earmarking up to £3 billion for investment in green steel alongside the industry. We must retain our strong and viable steel industry because our automotive, defence,...
Keir Starmer: I start by welcoming my hon. Friends the new Members for Kingswood (Damien Egan) and for Wellingborough (Gen Kitchen). I know that they will both be powerful advocates for their constituents. On a more sombre note, I join with the Prime Minister—I was glad to hear what he just had to say, because I am sure that the whole House will join me—in sharing our disgust at the death of Alexei...
Greg Hands: ..., which reflect an old-fashioned view in the Labour party, perhaps from a few years ago, that business is always bad? Whatever the right hon. and learned Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer) or the right hon. Member for Leeds West (Rachel Reeves) might say now, I think that today we are still seeing that attitude that business is always bad.
Mabon ap Gwynfor: .... Mae hyn wrth gwrs yn wir, ond mae’r dystiolaeth yn dangos nad ydy'r Llywodraeth yma yn codi bys er mwyn trio cael gwell setliad ariannol, ac mae’n annhebygol y bydd y Llywodraeth o dan Starmer yn rhoi tegwch ariannol i Gymru. Ond y gwir yn achos bwrdd iechyd y gogledd, fel gyda gwasanaethau iechyd yn eu cyfanrwydd, mewn gwirionedd, ydy fod yna broblem lawer dyfnach yma sydd angen...
Rhun ap Iorwerth: Fe wnaf i ailadrodd y cwestiwn. Beth mae'r Prif Weinidog yn ei wneud i berswadio arweinydd y Blaid Lafur i fynd i'r afael â chyllid teg i Gymru? Bydd ASau Plaid Cymru yn falch o ddwyn Keir Starmer i gyfrif os yw Gweinidogion Llafur Cymru yma yn anfodlon gwneud hynny. Y peth y mae pobl eisiau ei wybod yw bod y Llywodraeth ar eu hochr nhw. Rwy'n meddwl ei bod hi'n eithaf amlwg bod y Ceidwadwyr...
Greg Hands: ...a series of speeches that give the opposite impression. That is often the case in today’s Labour party: there is a diktat from the right hon. and learned Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer) up above, but below him something different is done, particularly by Members who were active when the right hon. Member for Islington North (Jeremy Corbyn) was the party leader. The...
Jamie Hepburn: ...party leader has said that it will not reverse that position. What does Mr O’Kane say about that in relation to the prospects of young people not just in Scotland but across the UK under a Keir Starmer-led Government?
James Daly: ...hon. Friend share, therefore, my genuine disappointment about the weak, flip-flopping and changing position of the Labour leader, the right hon. and learned Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer), concerning the remarks of Labour’s now ex-candidate for the Rochdale by-election? Martin Forde KC, who compiled a report for the Labour party on bullying, sexism and racism within...
...Conservatives. It would be really helpful if Anas Sarwar was able to confirm that UK Labour, if it forms the next UK Government, would reverse those Tory cuts. What we have had from Labour, Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, however, is absolute confirmation that they will not reverse Tory spending cuts.
Michelle Thomson: ...on how she sees that vital body developing. Grangemouth is absolutely fundamental, so I want to put on the record my disappointment about the about-turn by the potential next Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, in the latest announcement about dropping the £28 billion energy fund, which had included vital promises for Scotland. Those promises included £1 billion to modernise Grangemouth and...
Kevin Stewart: ...been dealing with year after year—Tory Westminster austerity. We have had Tory austerity piled on top of Tory austerity, and all that we have to look forward to is Labour austerity from Sir Keir Starmer. Hardly a day goes by without Labour promising to outdo the Tories, whether that is in tax cuts for the wealthy, in giving bankers free rein with bonuses or in cutting its £28 billion...
Mark Harper: ...charge point installation. We have a plan to decarbonise transport that is working. The Labour party is in disarray. Its leader, the right hon. and learned Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer), would ditch Labour’s flagship spending promise, despite only committing to it on Tuesday. The hon. Member for Sheffield, Heeley (Louise Haigh) must feel uncomfortable, having said...
Jonathan Gullis: ...the heinous crime on London bridge. This is an issue of the utmost importance. When the Leader of His Majesty’s Opposition, the right hon. and learned Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer), signed the letter, he was busy pandering to his Corbynista friends—or should I say his former friends, whom he has recently ditched in order to pretend that he has somehow rehabilitated...
Shirley-Anne Somerville: ...Poverty Action Group estimates that scrapping the cruel two-child limit and the abhorrent rape clause could lift 250,000 children out of poverty, including 15,000 children in Scotland. Sir Keir Starmer says that he wants to implement the rape clause “more fairly”. I struggle to comprehend what he means by that. His Labour colleagues in this chamber should also struggle to comprehend...
Keir Starmer: I join the Prime Minister in sending His Majesty the King our very best wishes for his treatment. Across the House, we all look forward to seeing him back to full health as quickly as possible. This week, the unwavering bravery of Brianna Ghey’s mother, Esther, has touched us all. As a father, I cannot even imagine the pain that she is going through. I am glad that she is with us in the...
