Israel and Palestine - Question for Short Debate ( 7 Mar 2023)

Lord Stone of Blackheath: My Lords, all these problems in the Middle East are my fault. In 1967, I was a volunteer in the Six Day War, so I started all this mess. However, in the following decades, I have been trying to help make peace. At Marks & Spencer, we encouraged Israeli manufacturers to work with Egyptian, Jordanian and Lebanese companies and become partners with one another. With the help of Tony Blair, I got...

Scottish Parliament: Brexit and Workers’ Rights (31 Jan 2023)

Sarah Boyack: This is an important debate because it is a chance for us to focus on the mess that the Conservatives are making of Brexit, their false promises and what we can do in Scotland. The SNP is wrong to claim that Labour has been silent on Brexit. Our colleagues are working day after day to stop the Tory Government’s hard Brexit, to have a different approach that supports our businesses and...

Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill: Clause 1 - Minimum service levels for certain strikes (30 Jan 2023)

David Linden: It is a pleasure to see the right hon. Gentleman back on the Back Benches as part of the awkward squad. Does he agree that part of the reason why we have ended up in this mess is that the Government have rushed the Bill, with a programme motion that allows for only five or six hours on the Floor of the House? They are attempting to ram it through and perhaps intend to use it as a stick or as...

Online Safety Bill: New Clause 1 - Report on redress for individual complaints (17 Jan 2023)

Alex Davies-Jones: ...recognise the sheer number of amendments and changes we have seen to the Bill so far. Even today, there are many more amendments tabled by the Government. If that does not give an indication of the mess they have made of getting this legislation over the line in a fit and proper state, I do not know what does. I have said it before, and I am certain I will say it again, but we need to move...

Doctor Training — [Sir George Howarth in the Chair] (17 Jan 2023)

Andrew Selous: ...we have to get the training right for our doctors everywhere—in hospitals and in general practice. They work incredibly hard under huge stress. I will be delighted to visit the junior doctors’ mess at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital, as I had an invitation recently. I will listen very carefully to what is said there. Today I want to talk about general practice, and in particular about...

Seafarers’ Wages Bill [Lords] (19 Dec 2022)

David Linden: ...that it will be all right on the night and we should just leave it to market conditions to dictate the direction of travel. However, I remind Ministers that the whole reason we are in this sorry mess in the first place is precisely a lack of regulation and an increasing tolerance for casino-style decision making on the part of bosses who have shamelessly, and unquestionably, exploited...

Benefit Sanctions — [Mark Pritchard in the Chair] (13 Dec 2022)

David Linden: ...to nullify Westminster’s bedroom tax. To be blunt, that is £80 million that could be spent on health and education, but the Scottish Government are having to spend it trying to clean up the mess that has been caused by Westminster. Indeed, using our limited social security powers, next year the Scottish Government will spend an extra £311 million on the game-changing Scottish child...

Public Bill Committee: Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill: Clause 1 - Sunset of EU-derived subordinate legislation and retained direct EU legislation (22 Nov 2022)

Brendan O'Hara: ..., Senedd Cymru and the Northern Ireland Assembly. We need to remind Committee members that Scotland and Northern Ireland completely rejected Brexit; only England and Wales supported it. Had David Cameron been wise enough to accept a similar proposal to the one set out in the amendments—that is, had he said that the UK would not leave the European Union unless every constituent part of...

Management of the Economy and Ministerial Severance Payments (15 Nov 2022)

Patricia Gibson: ...of it, but that is a matter for him. If Labour Members are concerned about these obscene ministerial payments, they must support the amendment tabled by my hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow East (David Linden), which would prevent this situation. That is really important, because we cannot allow this situation to continue. All of this adds up to an incompetent Government who have no...

Public Sector Pay: Proposed Strike Action — [Sir Edward Leigh in the Chair] ( 1 Nov 2022)

David Linden: ...(Beth Winter) on securing the debate and bringing this issue to the Chamber. I should also declare my membership of Unite. In having this debate, we need to think about how we ended up in this mess. When the Minister gets to her feet later and talks about the difficult choices the Government must make, she must do so reflecting on the fact that they have been in power for 12 years. They...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Assembly Business: Election of Speaker and Deputy Speakers (27 Oct 2022)

Matthew O'Toole: ...and language Bill at Westminster. Patsy would be a fine Speaker, and, as the most fluent Gaeilgeoir in the Chamber, he would be the perfect person in this era. In July, we met to pay tribute to David Trimble, one of the key builders of the institutions. At the time, I said that many of us had lost the ability or the willingness to build things and that some of us simply wanted to tear...

Scottish Parliament: Time for Reflection (25 Oct 2022)

The Rev David J Nixon (Carrubbers Christian Centre): Thank you for this opportunity to share a reflection. For 140 years, Carrubbers church has stood halfway up the Royal Mile. Today, our mission remains the same: to see lives transformed by the good news of Jesus Christ. A few weeks ago, our city bore witness to the funeral procession of Queen Elizabeth II. It was a solemn moment. We stood...

Stamp Duty Land Tax (Reduction) Bill (24 Oct 2022)

James Murray: ...no longer be considering all stages of the Bill today, only its Second Reading. That most recent statement by the Leader of the House did not set a date for the Bill’s remaining stages. What message does that send? Treasury Ministers will know that, across the country, families and businesses are crying out for stability. In the housing market, as in many parts of the economy, certainty...

Cryptoassets: Regulation — [Christina Rees in the Chair] ( 7 Sep 2022)

Martin Docherty: ...are confusing enough before we even get to the question of what crypto actually is. Is it an asset? Is it a technology? Is it an idea? Another enduring problem of crypto, encapsulated in that Larry David advert, is its novelty: the idea that we have a genuinely world-changing thing before us. That idea falls apart immediately as it comes into contact with the real world. As an asset class,...

Public Bill Committee: National Security Bill: Examination of Witness ( 7 Jul 2022)

...and police time to pursue them. That was very disturbing at a time, certainly when I was deputy National Security Adviser and previously, when the impact on the digital age, as described by Sir David and Sir Alex, came to the fore, and when many states were messing, within the United Kingdom, with our institutions, corporate life and communities, over which they thought they had some share...

Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill - Committee (2nd Day): Amendment 19 (29 Jun 2022)

Lord Vaizey of Didcot: ...will become a theme of my speeches—that, in my time as Minister, one would have local authorities refusing to give permission to broadband providers to put in place infrastructure because of the mess they had left behind from their previous work. The most notorious and, I thought, slightly irritating resistance came from Kensington and Chelsea Council, which did not like the design of...

Scottish Parliament: Tackling Drug Deaths and Drug Harm (31 May 2022)

Pauline McNeill: ...As we have said on many occasions, the well-known Peter Krykant ran a drug consumption facility in a minibus for more than a year. Over 10 months, the facility supervised more than 800 injections. David Liddell from the Scottish Drugs Forum said: “there was no public interest in prosecuting him for the drug consumption room that he ran, and no prosecution followed. It is a ridiculous...

Child Maintenance Service: Reform — [Christina Rees in the Chair] (19 May 2022)

David Rutley: ...maintenance policy and our operational delivery under review. Those who have met Baroness Stedman-Scott will know that she is also a redoubtable champion on these matters and not somebody to be messed with. She is very keen to drive further action forward. We are also considering how other countries arrange child maintenance. We are gathering examples of good practice and looking at what...

Debate on the Address: [1st day] (10 May 2022)

Fay Jones: ...Swindon (Sir Robert Buckland) was, “Oh my God, love. You’d better be funny.” My hon. Friend the Member for Cities of London and Westminster (Nickie Aiken) told me that I would be “a total mess.” Even my dad, a former Member and my inspiration in many ways, said after yesterday’s rehearsal, “Well, you’re going to have to tell the jokes better than that.” But that is...

Scottish Parliament: Benefit Sanctions (31 Mar 2022)

Siobhian Brown: ...what they are intended to do, in that they result in unemployment and economic inactivity as people are forced into low-quality jobs that they are not matched to. I want to highlight the work of Dr David Webster of the University of Glasgow, whose research on the labour market contributes to the work of the Child Poverty Action Group. His most recent publication in February states that...
