Did you mean ceir STARMER?
Mabon ap Gwynfor: ...that's entirely correct. Fourteen years of austerity have had a detrimental impact on our ability to provide quality health services in Wales. But, unfortunately, your Government in London, under Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, are continuing with that austerity policy, and Sioned made it clear, so that everyone understands, it is clear to everyone, that austerity policies that have been...
Natasha Asghar: ...hole. Well, it's interesting that UK Ministers forgot to mention that £9 billion of this is indeed from your Labour Government's decisions down the M4. But then again, it's hardly surprising that Keir Starmer's head is all over the place as his mind is clearly preoccupied with trying to justify why his Lord pals are paying for his work clothes and his wife's dresses. But these are just...
Rhys ab Owen: ...very clear: this junior school is closing because of austerity, because of Tory austerity, which has been continued by this Labour Westminster Government. We will not be filled with any hope by Sir Keir Starmer's latest speech that 'things will get worse before they get better'— darker tones than the 1997 theme tune. And whilst I was researching this debate today, it surprised me that...
Samuel Kurtz: ...On to the levers of power that this Welsh Government has, why is it, Prif Weinidog, that this Welsh Labour Government has failed to provide a package of financial support? Were you waiting for Sir Keir Starmer and the supposed cavalry to come to the rescue to provide more money and a better deal? Because the reality is now very different. So, I urge this Welsh Government to do more to...
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: .... We need to do what we are able to do. We have some levers, we don't have the big levers that the UK Government has. But, again, if you want to ask them for that support, ask your MPs to question Keir Starmer. That is the way this—[Interruption.] This is the way—[Interruption.] This is the way that it works: make sure that you ask your local MPs to ask Keir Starmer. Thank you very much.
Baroness Mair Eluned Morgan: Thank you very much. Well, I was delighted that Keir Starmer came to Wales very early on, once we'd invited him, and he was delighted to visit that windfarm in Carmarthenshire, because this is part of how we're going to grow the economy, the green economy, in Wales. There's a huge amount of potential, but it's not something that can easily be delivered, and it's crucially important that we...
Rhun ap Iorwerth: .... And we have seen the winter fuel payment cut for pensioners, many thousands of them living below the poverty line. Now, on winter fuel and fair funding, the First Minister has confirmed that Keir Starmer calls the shots. She now, of course, has a Government of her own—not really new. She's even talked of bringing back a familiar face as an anchor to that Government: the last First...
Gerry Carroll: The truth is, Minister, that you buckled under Keir Starmer. You could have stood strong against him, but you failed to do that. You also failed to listen to the hundreds of thousands of people who will be impacted by that decision. Minister, what work have you, your officials and your Department carried out to work out the number of excess winter deaths that will occur as a result of that...
Jonathan Buckley: Another week in Labour la-la land. Another episode of 'Carry On Keir'. I thought that we were told that 'Things Can Only Get Better'. That tells me much about a Prime Minister who is more concerned about which donor will buy his latest designer suit or glasses than about dealing with the pressing priorities that people across the country face. Just last week, on Saturday, 800 illegal...
the Bishop of St Albans: I thank the Minister for his reply. I was pleased, back in April, to see that Sir Keir Starmer, before he became Prime Minister, announced a rural crime strategy. What we now need is implementation. Would the Minister commit, at local area level, to talk to police and crime commissioners and chief constables to set up dedicated rural crime teams, which forces such as Thames Valley have done...
Jackie Baillie: ...be a time of great anxiety. Since the refinery closure was first proposed, Labour has called for both of Scotland’s Governments to get round the table to find solutions. That is why Keir Starmer raised the issue with the First Minister during his first visit to Scotland after the election, and that is why the clear message this morning is that the United Kingdom Labour...
Emma Roddick: The link between population growth and economic growth is of particular importance in the region that I represent. Keir Starmer has said that he wants to work on common ground with the Scottish Government. What indication has the First Minister had from the United Kingdom Government that it will devolve powers to this Parliament so that a rural visa pilot can be taken forward for sectors such...
George Adam: ...of independence, we could change all of our children’s futures for the better and move away from 14 years of Westminster failure on top of decade after decade of Westminster failure. Keir Starmer has been in office for two weeks and has chucked it already. He says that things can only get worse, but the Scottish National Party’s vision is greater than that. When Westminster...
Keir Starmer: This weekend we remembered the late Queen and her enduring legacy of service and devotion to our country, and I was proud to announce a new national monument located at St James’s Park to honour her memory. I know that the whole House will join me in sending our best wishes to the Princess of Wales as she completes her treatment. This afternoon we will introduce the Renters’ Rights Bill....

Nigel Farage: ...ISIS boasted in 2015 that it would use the Mediterranean to get its operatives into Europe, perhaps the European Union should have taken it more at its word. It was interesting to note that Sir Keir Starmer himself used the phrase “national security emergency” during the general election, so he is going to have to act accordingly. Appointing a new border chief commander? Yes, we may...

the Earl of Clancarty: ..., which have been significantly diminished in the state sector, as the noble Baroness, Lady Garden, said, but have flourished in many independent schools. Nevertheless, let me remind the House what Keir Starmer said in his speech at the Guildhall on 14 March: “Every young person must have access to music, art, design and drama. That is our mission”. He went on: “we are launching a...
Keir Starmer: I am making this statement to bring to the House’s attention the following Machinery of Government change. Responsibility for Union and devolution policy across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will move from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to the Cabinet Office. This change will support cross-government coordination and engagement with the devolved governments...
Anas Sarwar: I take the opportunity to welcome the election of a new United Kingdom Labour Government and to congratulate Keir Starmer on becoming Prime Minister. I am sure that all members in the chamber will want to congratulate all of Scotland’s MPs, new or returning, regardless of their party, who have been elected to represent and deliver for the people of Scotland. Yesterday, the First...
