  • Angela Rayner – 2021 Comments on Government Misusing Public Funds on Polling

    Angela Rayner – 2021 Comments on Government Misusing Public Funds on Polling

    The comments made by Angela Rayner, the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, on 29 July 2021.

    This has the hallmarks of a racket, not a government acting in the national interest during a pandemic.

    Taxpayers’ money that has been abused in this way should be paid back by the Conservative Party. Taxpayers’ money is not the personal cashpoint of Conservative Ministers to dish out to their mates.

    We need a fully independent inquiry into the Government contracts that have been handed out over private email and WhatsApp so we can get to the bottom of this scandal.

  • Sarah Jones – 2021 Comments on Police Numbers

    Sarah Jones – 2021 Comments on Police Numbers

    The comments made by Sarah Jones, the Shadow Minister for Policing and the Fire Service, on 29 July 2021.

    The Tories have spent a decade cutting our police workforce, leaving communities across the country exposed.

    These figures expose the decimation the Tories have caused community policing. While cuts to police staff mean that even new police recruits will end up behind desks backfilling staff roles, instead of on the beat.

    The Government’s new crime plan is in reality a bunch of rehashed policies designed to distract from the damage they have caused. When coupled with an insulting police pay freeze and failure to consult them on the crime plan, it’s no wonder frontline police have lost confidence in the Home Secretary.

  • Luke Pollard – 2021 Comments on the Climate Crisis

    Luke Pollard – 2021 Comments on the Climate Crisis

    The comments made by Luke Pollard, the Shadow Environment Secretary, on 29 July 2021.

    The severe impacts of the climate crisis are happening here and now, putting people, nature, and our economy at risk. But the Tories are failing to meet their emissions reduction targets.

    Re-announcing inadequate plans can’t hide the Government’s woeful failure to protect communities and businesses. We need urgent action to reverse this climate and ecological emergency.

    Labour would replace the Government’s piecemeal approach with a comprehensive Green Recovery to decarbonise and transform our economy.
