Keir Starmer: I thank the Prime Minister for an advance copy of his statement, and for the regular briefings on the developing situation in the middle east. I also thank him for his warm tribute to your father, Mr Speaker. Doug Hoyle was a great servant of our party, respected by all who knew him. I also join the Prime Minister in offering our solidarity with the victims of the horrific attack in Sydney,...
Paul McLennan: ...guarantee and the reversal of damaging welfare cuts such as the two-child limit. Those steps would lift 40,000 children in Scotland out of poverty next year. The First Minister wrote to Keir Starmer in January to find ways of working together to tackle poverty, should Labour form the next UK Government. No reply has been received from Labour or the current UK Government, and neither has...
...is Anas Sarwar’s record? The only consistency over the past year is that he is completely inconsistent. He has U-turned, dumped every single principle or policy and fallen into line behind Keir Starmer.
Collette Stevenson: The Tory Government’s budget offered nothing to the millions of people who are really struggling with the cost of living, and Sir Keir Starmer has already confirmed that Labour would follow the Tories’ tax and spending rules. If we add to that the fact that Labour and the Tories do not want to devolve employment law, it is clear that Westminster offers no solution for the people of...
Rona Mackay: ...on to higher education. Scottish Labour’s hypocrisy on supporting students is pretty staggering. It claims to remain committed to supporting free tuition but, yet again, refuses to hold Keir Starmer to account for his flip-flopping on the matter. I hope that Pam Duncan-Glancy will stay true to the commitment that she made in her contribution. It is getting harder to distinguish between...
Lord Faulkner of Worcester: ...“Peston” programme last night? He said that the Government lost the seven votes in this House yesterday because of all the votes of the Labour Peers who were whipped into the Lobby by Sir Keir Starmer. Can he point out what the arithmetic is in the relationship between Conservative Peers and Labour Peers?
Sioned Williams: ...ddatganoli cyfiawnder troseddol am yr union reswm hwn. A ydych chi'n gweld, felly, na fydd y dull tameidiog, a awgrymwyd gan Gordon Brown ac sy'n ymddangos fel pe bai'n cael ei fabwysiadu gan Keir Starmer, yn ateb y broblem hon, ac onid ydych chi'n gresynu at hynny?
Mabon ap Gwynfor: ...wrth alw am y newid hwnnw. Ers hynny, beth rydych chi fel Llywodraeth wedi'i wneud i alw ar Lywodraeth y DU i newid y polisi, ac yn fwy na hynny, a ydych chi wedi llwyddo i ddylanwadu ar Keir Starmer i addo newid fformiwla Barnett pan ddaw Llywodraeth Lafur i rym?
Keir Starmer: I thank the Prime Minister for his words in welcoming Vaughan Gething to his post as First Minister of Wales. As the first black leader of any European Government, it is a historic moment that speaks to the progress and values of modern-day Wales. I also pay tribute to Mark Drakeford for his long, steady service in Wales. With violent prisoners released early because the Tories wrecked the...
Baroness Sherlock: ..., against the backdrop of growing divisions, it is for political leaders to provide “a conciliatory tone” and to “pursue policies that bring us together, not risk driving us apart”. Keir Starmer has made it clear that if Ministers behave responsibly, if they reach out to other parties to seek to build consensus, rather than using the issue for party gain in a pre-election period,...
Rhun ap Iorwerth: ...gwellt. Ond rwyf i am awgrymu efallai y gallai ac y dylai'r trafodaethau angenrheidiol fod wedi dechrau eisoes gyda'r hyn a allai fod yn Llywodraeth Lafur newydd y DU. Pa warantau a gafwyd gan Keir Starmer y bydd y diwygiadau angenrheidiol yn cael eu cyflawni, a beth fydd yr amserlen? Nawr, mae argymhellion y comisiwn ar ddatganoli cyfiawnder a phlismona yn mynd ymhellach na'r hyn a oedd...
Mark Drakeford: ...pwysigrwydd y galwadau hynny trwy wneud yr hyn a awgrymodd arweinydd Plaid Cymru i mi yr wythnos diwethaf, na fyddai prin ddiwrnod yn mynd heibio pan nad oeddwn i ar y ffôn yn gofyn i Keir Starmer am rywbeth. Rwyf i wedi bod yn ofalus iawn erioed i wneud yn siŵr, yn y sgyrsiau niferus yr wyf i wedi eu cael gydag arweinydd plaid y DU, ei fod bob amser wedi bod am rywbeth sy'n hanfodol i...

Lord Sherbourne of Didsbury: ...Government—the rolling back of the trade union reforms brought in by previous Conservative Governments, which were broadly accepted by the Blair/Brown Governments but which would be repealed by a Starmer Government. I wonder whether the noble Lord, Lord Livermore, who served in No. 10 when Gordon Brown was Prime Minister, is a whole-hearted supporter of his party’s proposals to ditch...
Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle: ..., and that has not been dealt with. I also want to come back to the rather fraught point of the potential for Leveson 2. My understanding is that in December, the Observer reported that Sir Keir Starmer was not intending to revive the second stage of the Leveson inquiry into press standards should he form the next Government—it was abandoned by the Conservative Party in 2018—nor would...
Sioned Williams: ...degau o filoedd o deuluoedd yng Nghymru o tua £3,200 y flwyddyn. Mae 40 y cant o blant mewn tlodi yng Nghymru yn byw mewn teuluoedd â mwy na thri o blant. Efallai fod darpar Lywodraeth Keir Starmer wedi colli dewrder ei hargyhoeddiadau i gyflwyno agenda radical i newid y ddynameg hon, ond hoffwn annog yr Aelodau Llafur yma yn enwedig i ymuno â ni i fynnu gwell ar gyfer eu hetholwyr, ein...
