The noble...

International Holocaust Memorial Day - Motion to Take Note (19 Jan 2023)

Lord Pickles: ...in the classroom, he was always the same old Zigi. He will be very much on my mind when I light my candle on Holocaust Memorial Day.

I think all of us in this Chamber could imagine ourselves being victims of the Holocaust, but...

Ukraine Update - Statement (27 Apr 2022)

Lord Pickles: ...started to collapse in the late 1980s and early 1990s was because their blood-soaked dictators were unable to keep the truth from their populations.

Lord Pickles: ...that individuals’ votes should carry the same weight, and if that means reforming the rules for drawing boundaries, that is what we must do.”—[ Official Report, Commons, 6/12/10; col. 35.] I may be the last Member of the clan to agree with Nick, but there is some sense in that.

Coronavirus - Statement (12 Mar 2020)

The noble Lord, Lord Adonis, wanted an explanation of...
