Former Ceidwadwyr MP am South West Norfolk ( 6 Mai 2010 – 30 Mai 2024)

Lucy Powell: ...legislative agenda for change. We have taken our first steps to bring our railways into public ownership and enhance fiscal responsibility—the bedrock of economic stability—to ensure that the Truss mini-Budget can never happen again; the Second Reading of the Great British Energy Bill begins the drive to lower bills and increase energy independence; and today we introduce the Water...
Jonathan Reynolds: ...we have established Skills England. If we want entrepreneurs to take real risks with their own property and income, we must give them stability. We cannot change policy every year; we cannot elect Liz Truss as Prime Minister and expect people to take those risks. The stability and consistency we will bring is as important as the policy environment we will create to do exactly what my hon....
John Swinney: ...of austerity and welfare cuts that were inflicted on us by the previous Conservative Government, of which Douglas Ross was a supporter. That is before we get near the financial wreckage done by Liz Truss, which Douglas Ross wanted me to emulate. Thank goodness I did not do that. The challenges that we face were well rehearsed to Parliament by the finance secretary on Tuesday....
Kate Forbes: ...that we face—inflation, the failure of budgets to keep pace with inflation and the fact that costs are continuing to rise—and that is before we talk about the self-inflicted budget decisions of Liz Truss. It looks as though the Conservatives are still not facing up to reality. Despite that, we have set out a serious, clear and focused agenda to deliver for communities. The...
Darren Jones: ...on Ministers’ interests if the fiscal lock was triggered. I remind hon. Members that the purpose of this Bill is to ensure that never again do we find ourselves in a situation, like at the 2022 Liz Truss mini-Budget, in which fiscally significant measures are announced without accompanying OBR analysis. If a future Government were to act in this way, the Bill provides a clear remedy....

Georgia Gould: ...Office annual report and accounts. The Prime Minister has use of the official residence previously used by the Rt Hon Lord Cameron, the Rt Hon Theresa May, the Rt Hon Boris Johnson and the Rt Hon Liz Truss.
James Murray: ...loose with the public finances. We saw under the previous Government what happens when politicians fail to show respect for taxpayers’ money. People across Britain are still feeling the impact of Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng’s recklessness nearly two years on from the economic disaster they created. The Conservatives’ recklessness in 2022 showed just how much damage unfunded spending...

Lord Livermore: ...country. The reason for that is the decisions taken by the previous Government, and there were three in particular: austerity, which choked off investment; a badly handled Brexit deal; and the Liz Truss Budget, which crashed the economy and sent mortgage rates spiralling.
Rachel Reeves: ..., we cannot go ahead with those projects. It is as simple as that. The money has to be there and the sums always have to add up, because I will not make the mistakes of the previous Government and Liz Truss, crashing the economy and sending interest rates and mortgage rates spiralling for our constituents. That is why I have had to take these actions today to get a grip on public spending...
Lord Teverson: ...be interested to hear that. I also congratulate the Government, although it was rather pre-cooked, on their chairmanship of the European Political Community. Strangely enough, that was thanks to Liz Truss: perhaps the only good thing that she did was to agree to be a part of that community and that system. That is part of increasing our relationships with the European Union. I have a...
Lord Rennard: ...to what was frequently referred to in the campaign, by the then Labour Opposition, as a “decade of chaos.” With the now noble Lord, Lord Cameron, the soon to be Baroness May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, it could not possibly be said that we had the stable government that was supposed to be the main justification for the first past the post system. We need to do...
Lord Razzall: ...not really his fault that this did not work; the economic turbulence in the exchange rates blew sterling off course, and we had the subsequent devaluation. Of course, the next overt attempt was by Liz Truss, and it was certainly her fault that there was no growth there. From these Benches—unlike the noble Lord, Lord Callanan—we are delighted that the Government are to legislate to...
Lord Young of Cookham: ...and Secretary of State at DLUHC, meets Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for a bilateral on the RSG. Irresistible force meets immovable object. The fiscal rules are not negotiable; Liz Truss discovered what happens when you spook the markets by overborrowing. I believe that that commitment on tax will be broken. That should concern noble Lords opposite, not just because of a...
Lucy Powell: ...to follow. On the economic record, the truth is that living standards fell over the last Parliament for the first time on record. He was Chief Secretary to the Treasury when former Prime Minister Liz Truss crashed the economy, sending mortgage rates soaring. Since we have come into government, we have discovered that things are even worse than we thought. [Interruption.] The Conservatives...

Bill Esterson: ...same tax rates, for spending and investing in our public services and our infrastructure. That is what 14 years of Conservative Government have meant for this country, and to cap it all we had the Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng exuberance of the mini-Budget, with the disastrous crashing of the economy, which has left people paying high interest rates even now, two years later. That is the...
Rebecca Evans: ...Cyfrifoldeb Cyllidebol ddarparu asesiad annibynnol o unrhyw gynlluniau treth a gwariant mawr. Felly, rwy'n gobeithio y bydd hynny’n golygu na fyddwn byth eto'n gweld mini-gyllideb arall fel un Liz Truss oherwydd ymagwedd Llywodraeth y DU at gyfrifoldeb cyllidol, felly credaf fod hynny i’w groesawu yn Araith y Brenin heddiw. O ran y dyddiadau ar gyfer y gyllideb, nawr, mae ein Rheolau...
