Labour MP for Holborn and St Pancras ( 8 May 2015 – current)
Did you mean ceir starmer?
Lord Bruce of Bennachie: ...—a new relationship. We need to do this bilaterally and collectively, with member states and with the EU itself, but it cannot be a pick and mix solution or cherry picking. I was shocked when Keir Starmer said that the UK would never rejoin any part of the EU in his lifetime. That is not his decision to make. Then Yvette Cooper said that the UK voted for Brexit, that there was no going...
Baroness Meacher: ...is that some carers are eligible for council tax reduction, universal credit, pension credit and so on, but the financial position of carers needs to be comprehensively addressed. I welcome Keir Starmer’s plans for the spring of 2025 to shift care from hospitals to communities and integrate health and social care. These reforms should greatly help patients. For the adult social care...
Keir Starmer: Today I am publishing a Cabinet Committee list. I have placed a copy of the new list in the Libraries of both Houses.
Kevin Stewart: ...in the Acorn project on carbon capture. Does the First Minister share my concern about the UK Government’s continued failure to understand the energy sector in the north-east? Will he call on Keir Starmer to rethink and invest in Scotland’s just transition?
Heledd Fychan: There are signs that Keir Starmer’s administration are following in the footsteps of their predecessors in terms of their belief that Westminster knows better than this Senedd. We should be able to decide here how our own money is spent. For example, the UK Chancellor is currently considering a sweeping range of reforms to pension investment funds that could see the eight regional local...
Keir Starmer: Earlier this week, the House marked the first anniversary of the horrific attacks on 7 October, and I take this opportunity to reiterate that the hostages must be released. I also reiterate our call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon. This week, the Government will deliver on our promise to the British people of the biggest upgrade of workers’ rights in a generation. The...
Shirley-Anne Somerville: ...has helped to alleviate poverty—but here we are with Labour keeping them. When it comes to protecting pensioners, I reflect on a letter that I understand was sent out directly from Keir Starmer to pensioners across the UK, which stated: “I know how much Britain’s older generation have contributed to our country and the debt that is owed to them. I know how much...
Delyth Jewell: ...the heat we need to stay alive, cutting off their means of comfort, that is savagery. It is condemning people to the cold. So, please, Prif Weinidog, will your Government make a last-minute plea to Keir Starmer's Government to rethink this cruel cut? Surely, you don't want your Government to be associated with it.
Janet Finch-Saunders: ..., and sometimes not managing at all, when it comes to their home finances. So, it is reassuring, that. I hope the media report that, because there are an awful lot of people who believe, just like Keir Starmer—the Prime Minister, I should say—there is obviously a feeling now that you're just going to tax and tax and tax, so it's quite reassuring that you say there will be no increase...
Rhun ap Iorwerth: The First Minister talks about making things up; the only thing I see being made up here is jobs for people that Keir Starmer no longer wants in his top team, so that he can hive off responsibility for having to deal with Wales. The First Minister doesn't want me to talk about UK Labour. She says I've mentioned Keir Starmer 27 times; I've mentioned him hundreds of times, and I'll mention him...
Lord Cryer: ...being shouted down at a party meeting because I suggested that, on balance, it maybe was not a bad idea to kick racists out of the Labour Party. Regardless of what happens in the next few years, Keir Starmer deserves every credit—and always will—for tearing anti-Semitism out of the Labour Party by its roots, to use his phrase. He will always have my support and my loyalty for doing...
Keir Starmer: I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his words. On an occasion like this, it is important that we speak with one voice across the House, and I think the whole House will agree with him that we must bring the hostages home. They must be uppermost in our minds. The Leader of the Opposition asks about the assistance in Lebanon. Humanitarian assistance is being provided—aid and money, as...
Gordon MacDonald: ...hydrocrackers at Grangemouth, but it must have come as a body blow to the sector when Labour announced that it was ditching its plans to spend £28 billion to grow the green economy, especially as Keir Starmer had said only days before that it was desperately needed, and had insisted that his Government’s commitment to the spending plan was unwavering and that it would deliver more than...
Emma Harper: Time and again, Labour members come to the chamber to demand more spending, while at the same time standing behind Keir Starmer’s and Rachel Reeves’s austerity agenda. Does the First Minister agree that it is vital that the United Kingdom budget commits to investment rather than austerity and that it is for all parties to join the Scottish National Party in making that case to the UK...
Luke Fletcher: ...making in Wales. Members on Labour benches, of course, reminded us every single time, repeatedly told us, that they had a plan to save Welsh steel, that all we had to do was sit tight and wait for Keir Starmer. And I held out hope—I held out hope to the very end, but in the end, Labour had no plan. Just over a year ago, in September 2023, we first got sight of the proposal from both...
Tom Giffard: Can I also ask for a statement from the Welsh Government on energy bills? Today, we've seen them increase by around 10 per cent here in Wales, and that's in spite of the fact that Keir Starmer told us when he was leader of the opposition that, 'the Labour Party has a fully costed plan to freeze energy bills'. In fact, during the election campaign, he went one further, with a pledge to cut...
Gareth Davies: ...involve the use of vaping devices and other nicotine products, which have been stigmatised in recent years by the Welsh Government, which is counter-productive in moving Wales towards smoke-free. Keir Starmer also announced his outrageous plans for an outdoor smoking ban, with further measures in the pipeline to curb vaping indoors. Despite being widely unpopular, it is also a grotesque...
Sioned Williams: ...Loughborough a oedd yn dangos bod mwy na 65,000 o blant yng Nghymru yn cael eu heffeithio'n uniongyrchol gan y polisi hwn. Ond y cyfan a gawsom gan y cyn Brif Weinidog oedd ailadrodd agwedd Keir Starmer fod twf economaidd yn hanfodol mewn perthynas â sut y dylid mynd i’r afael â thlodi plant. Wel, wrth gwrs, mae twf economaidd yn hanfodol i greu mwy o gyfoeth, ond dyw twf ddim o...
Gareth Davies: ...to repeal 20 mph were, indeed, ignored. People do not like having their freedoms restricted in the name of keeping them, and despite the First Minister making clear that her relationship with Sir Keir Starmer is as close to Donald Trump, they certainly share the same nanny-stateist mindset. If the First Minister is serious about being a listening Government, I'd advise that she should...
Mabon ap Gwynfor: ...words, but the same outcome, I’m afraid, is what we’ll see. Now, the Darzi report states the failures in the English health system, a system that the Labour Minister Wes Streeting and his PM Keir Starmer say is broken and is the fault of the previous Tory Government. They say that they’ll take responsibility for fixing it. On every metric, the NHS is performing worse in Wales, yet...
