Labour Peer (21 Nov 2022 – current)
Did you mean to Watson?
Ronnie Cowan: ...come as a surprise that affordability checks were not the invention of the APPG for gambling-related harm. This is not some mendacious ploy that the group is using; the idea was mooted in 2019 by Tom Watson, when I believe he was still the MP for West Bromwich East. Industry leader Richard Flint, who was at Sky Bet, supported Mr Watson by saying that too many people were losing money that...
Motion NDM8273 Luke Fletcher Supported by Darren Millar, Delyth Jewell, Heledd Fychan, Huw Irranca-Davies, Jane Dodds, Jayne Bryant, Joel James, Joyce Watson, Llyr Gruffydd, Mark Isherwood, Mike Hedges, Peredur Owen Griffiths, Rhun ap Iorwerth, Sioned Williams, Tom Giffard To propose that the Senedd: 1. Notes: a) that across Wales, the prevalence of epilepsy is 1 per cent (approximately...
Rishi Sunak: ...process and convention. Prime Ministers of both parties have always upheld the convention of non-interference on political honours. My predecessors may not have agreed with Labour’s choices of Tom Watson or Shami Chakrabarti, but the same precedent stood then as it does now. I would expect a knight like the right hon. and learned Gentleman to understand that.
...Howells (Welsh Labour), Jack Sargeant (Welsh Labour), Altaf Hussain (Welsh Conservatives) and Adam Price (Plaid Cymru) as members of the Wales Covid-19 Inquiry Special Purpose Committee; b) Joyce Watson (Welsh Labour) and Tom Giffard (Welsh Conservatives) as Co-Chairs of the Wales Covid-19 Inquiry Special Purpose Committee. 4. Resolves to direct that the initial business of the Wales...
Joyce Watson: I call on Tom Giffard to reply to the debate.
Sam Rowlands: ...course, I'll be very keen to highlight and remind Members of the free-port bid in Anglesey, but we'll talk about that a little bit more in a moment, because colleagues—Samuel Kurtz, Paul Davies, Tom Giffard and Altaf Hussain—highlighted the Celtic free-port bid, proposing to create a green innovation and investment corridor with sites at Port Talbot and Milford Haven, with...
Lord Lamont of Lerwick: My Lords, this House rightfully dislikes personal attacks. However, on the question of Tom Watson, I say that he did not just attack a Member of this House under parliamentary privilege; he also destroyed the lives of Harvey Proctor, who lost his house and his job, Lord Bramall, who died under suspicion of a completely false charge, and Lord Brittan, who I saw in his dying days and who was...
Gavin Newlands: ...very much look forward to attending St Andrews this weekend for the event. She mentioned a host of big names from the history of the game, all of whom are fantastic, but she included my favourite, Tom Watson. Who can forget Tom, at the age of 59, nearly winning the Open in 2009? It was very nearly an incredible achievement. The hon. Lady mentioned the claret jug, one of the most iconic...
Andrew RT Davies: ..., that this isn't the Russian people's war. This is Putin's war, and he is leading them down a path of total destruction in the way he is executing that war, and the comments that we've heard from Tom Giffard and others in particular who've highlighted—Jayne Bryant as well touched on it—a maternity unit, with children and mothers in it, was destroyed this afternoon, 9 March 2022. Who...
Sam Rowlands: ...heart of Welsh democracy here in the Senedd, and also putting forward some real measures and ideas that will help tackle this worrying state of affairs. At this point, I also want to thank Joyce Watson and join others in thanking you for sharing your powerful account of an experience you’ve had, which certainly brings into focus the importance of this discussion here and the importance...
Joyce Watson: I'd like to call Tom Giffard, who's going to make a 90-second statement on the International Day Against Violence and Bullying at School, including cyber bullying.
Lord Kennedy of Southwark: ...needed when applying for legal aid. They thought that this was wrong and decided to change the law. I thank Katy—I am not allowed to give her surname—who first raised the issue with my friend Tom Watson, when he visited Safespots Wythenshawe. He raised the matter in Parliament. I thank Mike Kane, the local MP who supported the campaign for many years; Laura Hitchen, the local solicitor...
David Davis: .... This will not be the first time we have been here: those who have been here for some years will remember the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014, which went through the same process. Tom Watson and I took it to court; we won, and the Government had to rewrite it. I hope we do not have to do the same with this Bill—it would be unwise to repeat that experience. Let me...
Dan Carden: ..., whereby senior figures with close ties to the Conservative party have won public jobs that are of great importance in the national response to the pandemic. I pay tribute to Gabriel Pogrund and Tom Calver at The Sunday Times for their investigation, which was headlined, “Chumocracy first in line as Ministers splash covid cash”. Their investigation really is essential reading; it is...
Sadiq Khan: ...TfL), Julian Ware (TfL) 22 April 2020 Joanna Hawkes (TfL), Julian Ware (TfL), Rajiv Sachdeva (TfL), Nicola Cox (TfL), Anthony King (TfL), Tim Keogh (TfL), Oliver Gearing (TfL), Pritesh Patel (TfL), Tom Page (TfL), Martin Taylor (TfL) 23 April 2020 Joanna Hawkes (TfL), Julian Ware (TfL), Rajiv Sachdeva (TfL), Nicola Cox (TfL), Anthony King (TfL), Tim Keogh (TfL), Oliver Gearing (TfL),...
Alex Norris: ...and covid-19, as hon. Members have said. This is a good moment to tackle a national crisis. My party has had interest in this matter for some time. Members may recall that our former deputy leader, Tom Watson, who is no longer of this parish, took on this issue personally during the last Parliament. His journey was incredible and I know people have taken great interest in it. He is a great...
Kevin Brennan: ...of UK Music, Jamie Njoku-Goodwin, on his appointment. Yes, he is a former Tory special adviser, but it is an excellent appointment, and I look forward to working with him and the chair of UK Music, Tom Watson, to support our music sector. They have made clear that under social distancing rules and without Government support, some performances are not economically viable. Given that that is...
Lord Lexden: When the Government come to make their promised response to the inquiry’s report on Westminster, published in February, will they ask why it failed to interview Mr Tom Watson about his appalling slurs on innocent people? Will they also ask why the section in that report on Westminster, which dealt with allegations about a paedophile ring said to have been based in Dolphin Square in the...
Lord Mancroft: ...omnibus and in the newspapers, there is no clamour about hereditary Peers’ by-elections. There is increasing outrage at the possibility of appointments of candidates such as John Bercow and Tom Watson, who by any reasonable measure should not even be considered. The deal done in 1999, which has been referred to so many times this morning and will be referred to again, was that hereditary...
