Labour MP for Holborn and St Pancras ( 8 May 2015 – current)
Did you mean ceir 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: ...of going 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...
Lord Faulkner of Worcester: ...the “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: ...'ve heard our arguments for the devolution of criminal justice for exactly this reason. Do you see, therefore, that the piecemeal approach, suggested by Gordon Brown and that seems to be adopted by Keir Starmer, won't address this issue, and don't you regret that?
Mabon ap Gwynfor: ..., we were united in calling for that change. Since then, what have you as a Government done in approaching the UK Government to change the policy, and, more than that, have you managed to influence Keir Starmer to promise to change the Barnett formula once a Labour Government is installed?
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: ...that, 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...
Rhun ap Iorwerth: ...Government. But I might suggest that the necessary discussions can and should already have started with what is potentially an incoming UK Labour Government. What guarantees have been secured from Keir Starmer that the necessary reforms will be delivered, and over what timescale? Now, the commission's recommendations on the devolution of justice and policing go further than what was on...
Mark Drakeford: ...you don't want to do is to devalue the currency of those calls by doing what the leader of Plaid Cymru suggested to me last week, that barely a day would go by when I wasn't on the phone asking Keir Starmer for something. I've always been very careful to make sure that in the many conversations I have had with the leader of the UK party, it's always been about something that is essential...

Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle: ...referred, 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...
Peter Fox: ...that the Conservatives have a long-term plan for the whole of the United Kingdom, while Labour still continue to flip-flop and have no clear strategy as to how to handle the economy. And if, as Keir Starmer first said before he changed his mind, Wales is Labour's blueprint for success, then the United Kingdom and Wales are in for a shock if Labour win the next election. Diolch, Llywydd.
David Simmonds: ...to a number of points that have been raised about the use of national insurance contributions. We heard the Leader of the Opposition, the right hon. and learned Member for Holborn and St Pancras (Keir Starmer), asserting very clearly at the Dispatch Box in Prime Minister’s questions earlier that a reduction of national insurance meant a cut in the budget for the NHS. It is worth...
Ivan McKee: ...copy in front of me—with interest, because I was looking for ideas and we can always learn from others. It runs to about 30 pages, 10 of which are photographs. Many of them are of Anas Sarwar and Keir Starmer staring wistfully into the middle distance. I do not quite know what they are contemplating. To be honest, the document is pretty thin gruel. I will come to some of the specifics as...
Keir Starmer: May I welcome the legislation on the Post Office scandal? Mr Speaker, this week we lost the formidable Tommy McAvoy, who served his hometown of Rutherglen and the Labour Government with loyalty and good humour. We send our deepest sympathies to his wife, Eleanor, and their family. We also learnt that the right hon. Member for Maidenhead (Mrs May) will be taking her well-deserved retirement....
Lesley Griffiths: Well, Keir Starmer isn't a representative here, and you will have heard the Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism on this subject before. Nothing has changed.
