Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons

I just wonder what the millions of people on low wages who are facing a £1,000 cut will think of that. This country’s success is built by working people, but the tax system is loaded...

Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons

An unfair tax rise which will not fix social care and will not clear the NHS backlog is not a plan. The Prime Minister pretends that there is no alternative but to hammer working people with tax...

Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons

Let us test that right now. We have had three questions and the Prime Minister has not answered one of them, and it is obvious why. The truth is that these low-paid workers cannot work longer...

Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons

It wasn’t a difficult question, Mr Speaker. [Interruption.] It is silly, they say. “How many hours would someone working full time on the minimum wage have to work to make up for the...

The Prime Minister did not answer the question. The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions seems to think that it is an extra two hours a week, so let me make it even easier for the Prime...

I join the Prime Minister in his comments about Emma Raducanu—a tremendous success in the US Open—the Battle of Britain and the G7 Speakers conference. May I also offer my condolences...

Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons

Higher wages and higher skills, the Prime Minister says. How out of touch he is! [Interruption.] Conservative Members laugh. What do they say to Rosie, because Rosie is the sort of person that...

Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons

It was a yes/no question. You either clear the backlog or you don’t. The Prime Minister cannot even say that he will do that. So there we have it: working people will pay higher tax, those...

Mr Speaker, let me tell you what an ambitious young Member for Henley said in 2002 in this House: “national insurance increases are regressive”—[Official Report, 17 April 2002;...

Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons

It is no good shaking your head. And who is going to pay for the cost of this failure? Working people. Under the Prime Minister’s plan, a landlord renting out dozens of properties will not...

Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons

Thank you, Mr Speaker. The Prime Minister’s plan is to impose unfair taxes on working people; my plan is to ensure those with the broadest shoulders pay their fair share. I know...

I noticed that the Prime Minister did not stand by his guarantee that no one will need to sell their house to pay for care. Let me explain why he did not. Under the Prime Minister’s plan,...

Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons

I want to ask the Prime Minister about the promise he made to the British people to “guarantee that no one needing care has to sell their home to pay for it.” Does that guarantee...

Health and Social Care

Commons debates

The Prime Minister shakes his head; my sister is a poorly paid care worker, Prime Minister, so I know this at first hand. This is a tax rise that breaks a promise that the Prime Minister made at...

Health and Social Care

Commons debates

I thank the Prime Minister for advance sight of his statement—I think I had almost as much notice as the Cabinet. May I also thank everybody who works in the NHS and social care? During the...

Afghanistan

I thank the Prime Minister for the advance copy of his statement. The heroes on the ground in Operation Pitting are the best of us: the ambassador stayed to process every case that he could,...

Afghanistan

In one moment. Recent events in Afghanistan shame the west—and not just the scenes of chaos. What does our abandonment of the Afghan people say to those brave people around the world living...
