  • Boris Johnson – 2021 Comments on Beating Crime Plan

    Boris Johnson – 2021 Comments on Beating Crime Plan

    The comments made by Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister, on 27 July 2021.

    When I first stood on the steps of Downing Street as Prime Minister, I promised to back the police and make people safer, because we cannot level up the country when crime hits the poorest hardest and draws the most vulnerable into violence.

    That is why my government has remained unstinting in its efforts to protect the British public and this plan delivers a fresh commitment, as we emerge from the impacts of the pandemic, to have less crime, fewer victims and a safer society.

    Liz Kendall – 2021 Comments on Government’s Social Care Plan

    The comments made by Liz Kendall, the Shadow Social Care Minister, on 24 July 2021.

    Two years since his promise to the nation on the steps of Downing Street, the British people are no closer to seeing Boris Johnson’s plan to ‘fix the crisis in social care’.

    After ten years of the Tories in power, Britain deserves better. Either the Prime Minister lied about having a plan to fix social care or he lied about not raising taxes.

    Every day the Government delays their plans for fixing the crisis in social care is another day that staff don’t get the pay and training they deserve, another day that thousands of people go without the basic help they need, to do things like get up, washed, dressed and fed, and another day that families are pushed to breaking point.

    Ministers must now put in place a ten-year plan for investment and reform that puts social care on a sustainable footing, and provides all older and disabled people with the dignity and security they deserve.

  • Tulip Siddiq – 2021 Comments on National Adoption Strategy

    Tulip Siddiq – 2021 Comments on National Adoption Strategy

    The comments made by Tulip Siddiq, the Shadow Minister for Children and Early Years, on 26 July 2021.

    The Conservatives have created a postcode lottery in adoption.

    This government has failed to ensure people from all backgrounds can easily adopt, and the result is hundreds fewer children in care are now being adopted.

    Labour would put children at the heart of our pandemic recovery. It’s time the Conservatives match our ambition for every child, including rebuilding children’s services and fixing the adoption system.

  • Andy McDonald – 2021 Comments on Workers’ Rights

    Andy McDonald – 2021 Comments on Workers’ Rights

    The comments made by Andy McDonald, the Shadow Employment Rights and Protections Secretary, on 26 July 2021.

    Millions of workers are in insecure employment with low pay and few rights and protections, particularly key workers whose efforts got the country through the pandemic.

    A lack of basic rights and protections forces working people into poverty and insecurity. This is terrible for working people, damaging for the economy, and as we have seen throughout the pandemic, devastating for public health.

    We need a new deal for working people. Labour would ensure that all work balances the flexibility workers want with the security they deserve.

  • Kate Green – 2021 Comments on Vaccinating Students

    Kate Green – 2021 Comments on Vaccinating Students

    The comments made by Kate Green, the Shadow Secretary of State for Education, on 27 July 2021.

    It is essential that all eligible adults get their vaccine. Instead of criticising young people, the Conservatives must get a grip and help them to get their jabs, including by setting-up vaccine centres on university campuses.

    The chaos, delay and incompetence at the heart of Boris Johnson’s government is costing lives and has cost thousands of students their university experiences.

    Supporting all students to get double jabbed ahead of winter will help reduce disruption on campus and limit the spread of the virus, helping to protect the NHS as we head towards winter.
