Paul Howell: ...well. How does she think business questions would survive in the event of a Labour Government, because with the speed at which the right hon. and learned Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer) changes his mind, we might need them daily?

Thangam Debbonaire: ...UK that they are better off, after 14 years of Conservative failures on youth services, failures on education and failures on skills development, than they would be under a Government led by Keir Starmer and a changed Labour party?

Rona Mackay: ...the First Minister’s commitment to tackling child poverty. Last week, the renowned right-wing Conservative, Suella Braverman, called for an end to the cruel two-child benefit cap, which Keir Starmer has ruled out. Can the First Minister advise what difference could be made to child poverty levels in Scotland if the cap were removed? Can he confirm that it will be a priority of the...
Delyth Jewell: ...dda, sut mae hyn yn cysylltu â 'Cymraeg 2050'? A hefyd, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, fe sonioch chi am gyllid. Mae'n peri pryder i mi nad yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn pwyso digon ar Lywodraeth y DU na Keir Starmer am ariannu teg i Gymru i helpu i unioni'r mater hwn, sy'n gwneud cam â'n plant a'n pobl ifanc. Felly, pa gamau y gwnewch chi eu cymryd ar fyrder i fynd i’r afael â hynny?
Keir Starmer: I will begin by saying a few words to the hon. Member for South Thanet (Craig Mackinlay). First, thank you for meeting me privately this morning with your wife and daughter, so I could personally convey my best wishes to all of you. Secondly, on some occasions—there are not many—this House genuinely comes together as one, and we do so today to pay tribute to your courage and...
Lord Collins of Highbury: ...Howe, for repeating both Statements. The infected blood scandal is, of course, one of the gravest injustices in our history and a profound moment of shame for the British state. Yesterday, Keir Starmer, leader of the Opposition, apologised on behalf of the Labour Governments of the past. The Prime Minister did the same on behalf of all Governments and the country. The scale of the horror...
Keir Starmer: This response can begin in only one place, because this is an injustice that has spanned across Governments on an unprecedented scale, and collectively we failed to protect some of the most vulnerable in our country. So as well as paying tribute to the courage and determination of the victims—the infected and the affected—some of whom are in the Gallery today, I want to acknowledge to...
Baroness Thornton: ...and founding the Kings Cross Steelers is of huge benefit for everybody in rugby and for gay rights. I am proud to know him as a friend. Today, the leader of my party, the right honourable Keir Starmer MP, announced the first steps we will take, if we form the next Government, to begin a decade of national renewal. Given the importance of sport in our national life and our well-being, and...
Patricia Gibson: ...from both the UK Government and the Labour Opposition. The Leader of the Opposition has himself benefited from a special law passed in Parliament: the Pensions Increase (Pension Scheme for Keir Starmer QC) Regulations 2013. It relates to when he was the Director of Public Prosecutions in England, and his personal pension is protected. It is quite literally one law for him and another law...
John Swinney: ...to relieve bankers of the obligation to pay into our tax system by lifting the cap on their bonuses. That is a ludicrous position. This morning, I listened to the contribution from Keir Starmer in which he set out Labour’s policy position. I did not hear Keir Starmer setting out an uplift in public expenditure as a consequence of 14 years of austerity.
Jenny Gilruth: ...s budget in real terms. If Labour wants more resource, let us be honest about the erosion of the block grant. Will a Labour Government restore the value of the block grant, should Keir Starmer become Prime Minister in the coming months? There is silence from the Labour benches. A 0.9 per cent cut, compounded by more than a decade of austerity, is harming the outcomes...
Keir Starmer: On Monday, the Prime Minister treated us to his seventh relaunch in 18 months. He vowed to take on the dangers that threaten the country, so it was good to see the Minister for common sense immediately take up that mantle by announcing a vital crackdown on the gravest of threats—colourful lanyards. Meanwhile, in the real world, after 14 years of Tory Government, the prison system is in...
Vaughan Gething: ...ar ôl tro, gan gynnwys pan oedd Mark Drakeford yn Brif Weinidog, na fydd unrhyw ddewisiadau diwrthdro yn cael eu gwneud cyn etholiad cyffredinol nad yw'n bell i ffwrdd. Dyna'r alwad glir gan Keir Starmer hefyd. Ein her, serch hynny—. Fy mhryder i yw bod y cwmni wedi penderfynu eu bod am wneud y dewisiadau hynny cyn bod Llywodraeth Lafur yn ei lle, ac mae honno'n her sylweddol iawn i ni....
Baroness Wilcox of Newport: ...in March this year. I congratulate both our maiden speech contributors. I am sure that we will welcome their future contribution to the House. In Breaking down the Barriers to Opportunity, Keir Starmer set out clearly Labour’s fifth mission in government: to break down the barriers to opportunity for every child, at every stage, and shatter the class ceiling. We will track our progress...
Keir Starmer: May I warmly welcome my hon. Friend, the new Member for Blackpool South (Chris Webb)? After the representation that fine town has had recently, it is good to know that it has a proper champion back at last. May I also warmly welcome the new Labour MP, my hon. Friend the Member for Dover (Mrs Elphicke), to these Benches? If one week a Tory MP who is also a doctor says that the Prime Minister...
John Healey: ...UK-Ukraine security co-operation agreement. Let us take the politics out of this country’s backing for Ukraine. As my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer) said to President Zelensky in Kyiv, while there may be a change of Government at the election, there will be no change in Britain’s resolve to support Ukraine, confront Russian...
