HANSARDEngagementsIf the Prime Minister is so good at maths, he will know that I am 60, not 61. I do not know whether he has found time during the recent by-elections to visit Hillingdon Hospital,…19 Jul 2023HANSARDEngagementsMr Speaker— [ Interruption. ]19 Jul 2023HANSARDEngagementsThe Prime Minister talks about his plans, but he does not need to lecture me on that. On the NHS staffing plan, he nicked it from Labour. It is the same old story: they mess up…19 Jul 2023HANSARDEngagementsWhen the Prime Minister said that the workforce plan was fully costed, I have never seen the Chancellor look more bewildered. It is less than a year since his party crashed the…19 Jul 2023HANSARDEngagementsIn that burst of nonsense, what we did not hear was a single word about how the Prime Minister will pay for it. Labour’s NHS workforce plan is fully funded by scrapping the…19 Jul 2023HANSARDEngagementsLabour’s workforce plan is fully funded by scrapping the non-dom status that the Prime Minister so adores. You know the one, Mr Speaker: the “non-dom tax thing”, as he calls it,…19 Jul 2023HANSARDEngagementsLabour in government was proud to repeal the ban on LGBT+ people serving in our armed forces, and today we strongly welcome this apology from the Prime Minister as a recognition…19 Jul 2023HANSARD NATO SummitI thank the Prime Minister for an advance copy of his statement. It is over 500 days since Putin’s barbaric war in Ukraine began. Putin believed the west was too divided to act in…13 Jul 2023HANSARDEngagementsIt is, “housing crisis, what crisis?”, with this Prime Minister. He must be the only person in the country who thinks that enough houses have been built in the past 13 years.…28 Jun 2023HANSARDEngagementsYou can tell from his answer, Mr Speaker,—his non-answer—and his body language that he has actually given up. His failure is not just shattering the dream of those who desperately…28 Jun 2023HANSARDEngagementsIt was not a difficult question. Can he point to a single person, in housing, construction or anywhere, who thinks that he will actually hit his target of 300,000 new homes a…28 Jun 2023HANSARDEngagementsPresumably, if he could have identified a single person who thought he would hit his target, he would have told us. There you have the problem: one minute he says he is for…28 Jun 2023HANSARDEngagementsYes.28 Jun 2023HANSARDEngagementsAt least he is not claiming they are the party of home ownership any more, because we are. He’s given up. The Prime Minister says he is “100% on it”, but his definition of “100%…28 Jun 2023HANSARDEngagementsMr Speaker, may I join your tribute to John and wish him all the best on behalf of the House? I also join the Prime Minister in his comments about the holocaust memorial. I would…28 Jun 2023HANSARDEngagementsI realise that the Prime Minister has spent all week saying that he does not want to influence anyone or anything, but he was certainly keeping to that in his answer. He knows…21 Jun 2023HANSARDEngagementsI echo the Prime Minister’s comments about the Windrush generation, who have contributed so much to our country, and join him in paying tribute to the armed forces, in this week…21 Jun 2023HANSARDEngagementsI appreciate that the Prime Minister has a keen interest in the mortgage market in California, but I am talking about mortgage holders here. Whilst his Government are consumed in…21 Jun 2023HANSARDEngagementsLet’s test that. The question that the Prime Minister refuses to answer—he knows the answer: £2,900 extra—is the cost to the average family of the Tory mortgage penalty. He was…21 Jun 2023HANSARDEngagementsJames and his family will have been listening to that, Prime Minister, and their plight should keep Conservative Members awake at night because, over the next few years, 7.5…21 Jun 2023
