Julie James: ...the kind of investment across the economy that we need in order to radically change our economy to a green circular economy. And we have had very good conversations with the Labour frontbench about Keir Starmer's very-often-quoted vision for a green energy superpower. You can't do that unless you have the upfront investment in the grid and the infrastructure, you have the investment in,...
Kevin Stewart: ...and Lord Provost of Aberdeen, Barney Crockett, resigned from the party over its policy. He said: “Margaret Thatcher never delivered a more brutal put-down of an industry than that delivered by Keir Starmer”. The Scottish Government is absolutely committed to a just transition and to ensuring that we take workers with us on our journey to net zero. That is why the Scottish Government is...
Shona Robison: We know that Anas Sarwar is now getting his orders from Keir Starmer, and they are to not promise anything in terms of progressive taxation and to turn his back on raising additional funds. Anas Sarwar should remember that, if we had followed what he seems to be suggesting—the Tory tax policies—we would have £1 billion less for public services in our coffers. [ Interruption. ]
Shona Robison: ...the same way that other institutions should. We would urge them to get around the table with their union partners to find a resolution. I would say to Mercedes Villalba that what we are seeing from Keir Starmer is a complete retreat from workers’ rights and a U-turn on every commitment on workers’ rights, so perhaps she should have a word with Keir Starmer—although I suspect that she...
Clare Adamson: The Conservatives delivered a ruinous Brexit. This week, Keir Starmer said that he would tweak that ruinous Brexit, while ruling out a return to the European single market. He said that his priorities are economic growth and the opportunities and outcomes for young people that have been lost as a result of Brexit. Does the Deputy First Minister agree that the only way to get back the benefits...
Màiri McAllan: ...committed to doing that via a just transition. I want to make two points in response to Sarah Boyack. First, Labour’s position here is not credible, given the major commitments that its leader, Keir Starmer, has been so keen to shed as he seeks to ready himself to enter number 10. It seems that the closer that Keir Starmer gets to number 10, the more he abandons Labour principles. That...
the Earl of Clancarty: ...relations that the noble Lord, Lord Hannay, indicated, there will nevertheless be a limit to what can be achieved in the longer term. My own hope is that, say, two years into a Labour Government, Keir Starmer will turn to the people of this country and say, “Well, I tried to make Brexit work”.
Mabon ap Gwynfor: ...the responsibility of the Government here either. For one thing, whatever the warm words of the First Minister and other members of his Cabinet in Wales, the leader of the opposition in England, Keir Starmer, has not given any commitment to rectify this injustice. And as things stand, this painful inequality will remain under a Starmer-led Government too. But, there is so much more that...
Vikki Howells: ...ve called for greater involvement from the Welsh Government in their planning and roll-out, but, as you will be only too aware, this is something that the UK Government seem hellbent on preventing. Keir Starmer has promised that an incoming Westminster Labour Government would return powers over this funding to Wales. Do you agree with me that that's the best way of ensuring this funding is...
Karen Adam: ...placed to rejoin the European Union in the near future. As we know, Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU and was dragged out against its will, so it is disappointing that, this week, Keir Starmer has again disregarded the voices of voters in Scotland and has ruled out the possibility of the United Kingdom rejoining the single market or the customs union, or re-implementing the...
Emma Harper: I will start on a point of agreement with the Labour motion. Despite Sir Keir Starmer’s telling his shadow cabinet, “I hate tree huggers,” in response to a presentation from his climate and net zero spokesperson, Labour’s motion reaffirms its recognition of the global climate emergency. We have huge potential for more carbon sequestration, carbon capture and peatland restoration. I...
Jane Hutt: ...opposition—to the illegal migration Act, as it is now, and previously the Nationality and Borders Act 2022. I am very pleased to see, in terms of some of the responses from the Labour leader, Keir Starmer, that they would be seeking to work together with the European Union. This is crucially important in terms of policy for the future, because we need a new Government in Westminster to...
Mark Drakeford: ...think that had the leader of Plaid Cymru been able to fulfil his ambition to leave the Senedd and make his way to Westminster, he would have had ample opportunity to put these points directly to Keir Starmer instead of having to constantly act as though I was some proxy for where he really would like to be. I don't think it's completely unfair to point that out to him. Anybody who believes...
Aaron Bell: I am interested to hear what the shadow Minister has to say about the Brexit situation and renegotiating with the EU, because in the Financial Times at the weekend, we see that “Keir Starmer pledges to seek major rewrite of Brexit deal”, when in 2020, The Guardian’s headline was, “Labour will not seek major changes to UK’s relationship with the EU”. Which is it? Why is the Leader...
...and, indeed, the rest of the UK. Frankly, I have lost hope for the Conservative UK Government when it comes to migration, but I would plead with Anas Sarwar to use any influence that he has with Keir Starmer in the UK Labour Party, as it seems to be engaged in a race to the bottom on the issue of migration. That will not help the UK and it certainly will not help Scotland.
Ivan McKee: ...Labour, which criticises the steady roll-out of free school meals in Scotland despite the fact that such a pledge by United Kingdom Labour was one of those that were abandoned over the summer by Keir Starmer?
Colin Beattie: ...agree that it is likely that the Scottish welfare model will keep having to mitigate United Kingdom Government welfare policies in the years ahead, whether under Rishi Sunak’s blue Tories or Sir Keir Starmer’s red Tories? [ Interruption .]
Mick Antoniw: Well, thank you for that comment. You make good points, and you made specific reference, I think, to the report that was commissioned by Sir Keir Starmer. It was his report, the Gordon Brown report; it was a report that he wanted. It is one that has been accepted and has significant consequence. We also have our own independent commission that will be reporting at the end of this year, which...
Delyth Jewell: ...Government after the next election, you'll continue to push for improvements for women born in the 1950s, and that you would stand alongside the pledge that was signed by the Labour leader, Keir Starmer, last year for the need for fair and fast compensation for 1950s women? I would again thank you sincerely for all that you have done in leading on this issue.
Keir Starmer: I join the Prime Minister in his words about the Clerk of the House. I pay tribute to the police who tracked down the escaped terror suspect from Wandsworth prison last week. Despite being charged with terrorism, and despite being a flight risk, he was not held in a category A prison. Why not?
