Engagements 24 Feb 2021 Prime Minister Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons The Prime Minister wants to talk about tax rises, and he should, because it matters. Councils up and down the country are being forced to decide now whether to put council tax up. That is a... Read more →
Engagements 24 Feb 2021 Prime Minister Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons Here is the difference. If you need £500 to isolate, you are out of luck. If you have got the Health Secretary’s WhatsApp, you get a £1 million contract. Turning to next... Read more →

Engagements 10 Feb 2021 Prime Minister Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons We all know what the Prime Minister once said that he wanted to do to business. We on these Benches would rather listen to businesses. We have no decision on business rates, no decision on... Read more →
Engagements 10 Feb 2021 Prime Minister Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons Let me let the Prime Minister into a secret: he can take decisions for himself and he does not need to leave everything to the 11th minute. If I were Prime Minister, I would say to businesses,... Read more →
Engagements 10 Feb 2021 Prime Minister Keir Starmer made a speech in the House of Commons I think that answer was that the Prime Minister cannot give an answer yet, but hundreds of thousands of businesses are affected by this. The trouble is that businesses do not work as slowly as... Read more →
