David Simmonds: ...number of points that have been raised about the use of national insurance contributions. We heard the Leader of the Opposition, the right hon. and learned Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer), asserting very clearly at the Dispatch Box in Prime Minister’s questions earlier that a reduction of national insurance meant a cut in the budget for the NHS. It is worth reflecting...
Luke Fletcher: ...ffyniant economaidd. Fodd bynnag, fel rydym yn aml yn ei glywed yn y Siambr hon, ac fel y clywsom eisoes heddiw, mae'n ymddangos bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn byw mewn gobaith y bydd dyfodiad Keir Starmer yn arwain at gyd-destun ffafriol yn y DU, ymadrodd yr ydym wedi dod yn gyfarwydd â'i glywed nawr. Ond nid yw'r ffaith bod Starmer yn gwrthod ymrwymo i wrthdroi mesurau cyni, pe bai'n dod yn...
Ivan McKee: ...in front of me—with interest, because I was looking for ideas and we can always learn from others. It runs to about 30 pages, 10 of which are photographs. Many of them are of Anas Sarwar and Keir Starmer staring wistfully into the middle distance. I do not quite know what they are contemplating. To be honest, the document is pretty thin gruel. I will come to some of the specifics as I go...
Keir Starmer: May I welcome the legislation on the Post Office scandal? Mr Speaker, this week we lost the formidable Tommy McAvoy, who served his hometown of Rutherglen and the Labour Government with loyalty and good humour. We send our deepest sympathies to his wife, Eleanor, and their family. We also learnt that the right hon. Member for Maidenhead (Mrs May) will be taking her well-deserved retirement....
Lesley Griffiths: Wel, nid yw Keir Starmer yn gynrychiolydd yma, a byddwch wedi clywed Dirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth ar y pwnc hwn o'r blaen. Does dim byd wedi newid.
Rhun ap Iorwerth: ...hun yn eu gofyn iddo yn briodol. Mae'r cyfweliad Times Radio y cyfeiriais ato yn gynharach wedi bod yn ddadlennol mewn cyd-destunau heblaw COVID yn unig. Wrth siarad am arweinydd Llafur y DU, Keir Starmer, dywedodd y Prif Weinidog, 'Os byddaf angen siarad ag ef unrhyw bryd, rwy'n anfon neges destun ac o fewn awr rydym ni ar y ffôn, yn siarad.' Felly, ddydd Sul, pan wrthododd y darpar...
Thangam Debbonaire: ...them that there were exciting well-paid jobs on their doorstep and beyond and to make them feel part of this. Today my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer) showed that we will put this into practice at school with subjects such as music, art, sport and drama, which help to build confidence, communication skills, critical thinking, problem...
Mabon ap Gwynfor: ...'r union ffigur sydd ei angen felly i adfer cyflog meddygon y GIG yng Nghymru mewn termau real? Pa mor hir fydd hi nes y gwelir yr arian hwn yn eu pocedi? A pham nad yw darpar Lywodraeth Keir Starmer wedi ymrwymo i ddarparu'r adnoddau i chi gyflawni hyn?
Keir Starmer: There we have it: the last desperate act of a party that has failed—Britain in recession, the national credit card maxed out and, despite the measures today, the highest tax burden for 70 years. This is the first Parliament since records began to see living standards fall, as confirmed by the Budget today. That is the Conservatives’ record, and it is still their record—give with one...
Jackie Dunbar: ...living crisis, what assessment has been made of the potential long-term impact on jobs and on folk’s energy bills of Labour’s aggressive windfall tax plans for the North Sea, coupled with Keir Starmer abandoning his £28 billion green investment pledge?
Keir Starmer: Three years ago, Sarah Everard was walking home when she was abducted and murdered by a serving police officer who should have been trusted to keep her safe. As a father, I cannot imagine the pain her parents, her family and her friends are going through in this difficult anniversary week. Lady Angiolini’s report exposes the appalling failure in police vetting and in misconduct processes,...
Baroness Smith of Basildon: ...across the whole of Europe and beyond. I was honoured to briefly meet President Zelensky when he visited Parliament —his leadership is inspirational. We all condemn the illegal invasion. Keir Starmer has been clear that, if we are in government later this year, we will stand with Ukraine—because Britain and this Parliament stand with Ukraine. Months ago, we called for legislation to...
Peredur Owen Griffiths: ...arweinydd eu plaid eu hunain yn y DU, oherwydd er bod esgeuluso Cymru ar ran Llywodraeth bresennol y DU wedi hen ennill ei blwyf ers peth amser, mae hefyd yn amlwg nad yw darpar Lywodraeth Keir Starmer yn cynnig dim ond yr un peth. Rwyf wedi clywed Prif Weinidog Cymru yn honni ar sawl achlysur y bydd newid Llywodraeth yn San Steffan yn sicrhau'r buddsoddiad sydd ei angen arnom yng Nghymru...
Andrew Gwynne: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether government resources have been used for research on the Leader of the Opposition.
Ross Greer: .... I am confused by Scottish Labour’s position on that point. The last that I remember, its party conference voted for nuclear disarmament. Has that conference vote been overridden or has Keir Starmer simply informed the Scottish Labour Party that it now has a different policy because he has decided so? Greens believe in co-operation based on common values. We would model an independent...
...housing payments in 2024-25, which is an increase of more than £6 million on this financial year. It also includes £74 million to mitigate the bedroom tax, which is something that Sir Keir Starmer wants to retain. Independent analysis by Crisis shows that austerity-driven policies, including the two-child limit, are undoubtedly driving up homelessness right across the country. I say to...
Rhun ap Iorwerth: ...yn ôl i San Steffan—nid yw'n help o gwbl, ar wahân i'r ffaith, nid wyf yn siŵr a ydych chi wedi gweld y polau piniwn yn ddiweddar, ond rydych chi'n trosglwyddo'r pwerau hynny'n ôl i Syr Keir Starmer. Ond o ddifrif, nid yw'n helpu, ac roeddwn mor falch o glywed Samuel Kurtz yn dweud, mewn perthynas â'r cynllun ffermio cynaliadwy, sut mae'n credu ein bod yn genedl sy'n ddigon ystwyth...
Lord Lipsey: ...to say that my party voted against this on Report in the Commons—and I am very pleased to say that the Tory, George Eustice, voted with us, as he has been a very coherent critic. I hope that a Starmer Government will start at the beginning, implementing press reform as outlined by Leveson and reinstating Clause 40. This year is the 100th anniversary of the election in which Labour first...
Keir Starmer: May I join the Prime Minister in his remarks about Lord Cormack and Ronnie Campbell? Tory MPs spent last week claiming that Britain is run by a shadowy cabal made up of activists, the deep state and, most chillingly of all, the Financial Times. At what point did his party give up on governing and become the political wing of the Flat Earth Society?
Stuart McMillan: ...year budget that will implement a council tax freeze, keeping more money in my constituents’ pockets. It is interesting that Inverclyde Labour is proposing a two-year budget, because, if Sir Keir Starmer wins the next general election, it would surely expect him to give Scotland more money. However, Labour clearly does not believe that that will happen, and we have heard nothing about...
