    Sajid Javid – 2021 Comments on Health and Social Care Leadership

    The comments made by Sajid Javid, the Health and Social Care Secretary, on 3 October 2021.

    I am determined to make sure the NHS and social care delivers for the people of this country for years to come and leadership is so important to that mission.

    We are committed to providing the resources health and social care needs but that must come with change for the better.

    This review will shine a light on the outstanding leaders in health and social care to drive efficiency and innovation. It will help make sure individuals and families get the care and treatment they need, wherever they are in the country, as we build back better.

    Grant Shapps – 2021 Comments on Insulate Britain Injunction

    The comments made by Grant Shapps, the Secretary of State for Transport, on 3 October 2021.

    We will continue to do all we can to prevent this self-defeating, disruptive and incredibly dangerous behaviour being carried out by Insulate Britain. They are putting lives in danger and damaging their own cause.    Today, we’re ensuring every major road and motorway linked to the M25 is covered by this injunction to help prevent further disruption.

    Activists are being tracked down and served court papers and will now face justice. We will take the strongest action against anyone else who decides to take part in this ridiculous and irresponsible action.

    Steve Barclay – 2021 Comments on Location of National Cyber Force

    The comments made by Steve Barclay, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, on 3 October 2021.

    The National Cyber Force is at the cutting edge of our country’s defence.

    Basing the campus at Samlesbury in Lancashire will bring high skilled and well paid jobs to the area, building on our drive to move key public sector roles outside of London.

    It underlines this government’s important levelling up agenda and our commitment to spread opportunity across the country.

    The National Cyber Force will help confront aggressive behaviour from malign actors, and demonstrate that Britain is investing in next-generation defence capability to protect our people and help our friends counter cyber threats. It sends a powerful message to our allies and adversaries alike.

    Ben Wallace – 2021 Comments on Location of National Cyber Force

    The comments made by Ben Wallace, the Secretary of State for Defence, on 3 October 2021.

    The National Cyber Force located in Samlesbury will embrace exciting new offensive cyber technologies and provide thousands of highly skilled jobs and expertise to the North West.

    I am hugely proud and enthusiastic to see this happen, not only will it provide a catalyst for investment, but also see our levelling up agenda bring economic stimulus and tangible benefits to this region.

  • Grant Shapps – 2021 Comments on New International Travel System

    Grant Shapps – 2021 Comments on New International Travel System

    The comments made by Grant Shapps, the Secretary of State for Transport, on 4 October 2021.

    We are accelerating towards a future where travel continues to reopen safely and remains open for good, and today’s rule changes are good news for families, businesses and the travel sector.

    Our priority remains to protect public health but, with more than 8 in 10 people now fully vaccinated, we are able to take these steps to lower the cost of testing and help the sector to continue in its recovery.

  • Anneliese Dodds – 2021 Comments on Chris Loder’s Remarks

    Anneliese Dodds – 2021 Comments on Chris Loder’s Remarks

    The comments made by Anneliese Dodds, the Chair of the Labour Party, on 3 October 2021.

    It didn’t take long for the mask to slip at Conservative Party conference. That some Tories appear happy to see Britain’s supermarket shelves go empty for the sake of their sepia-tinted fantasies really beggars belief.

    Britain’s supermarkets are the lifeblood of our economy and help put food on millions of British tables. The Conservatives need to get back to the real world and get a grip on the crises working people are facing.

  • Jonathan Reynolds – 2021 Comments on Government’s Plan for Jobs Expansion

    Jonathan Reynolds – 2021 Comments on Government’s Plan for Jobs Expansion

    The comments made by Jonathan Reynolds, the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, on 3 October 2021.

    The Government’s struggling Plan for Jobs has failed to hit its original targets; it is not creating the number of jobs needed and has failed to address the supply chain crisis Britain is experiencing.

    Giving himself an extended deadline will do nothing to compensate for the Chancellor’s tax rises, cost of living crisis and cuts to Universal Credit which are set to hammer millions of working families.

    Labour would create new jobs with our plan to buy, make and sell more in Britain to get our economy firing on all cylinders.

  • Jim McMahon – 2021 Comments on Government’s Rethink on HS2

    Jim McMahon – 2021 Comments on Government’s Rethink on HS2

    The comments made by Jim McMahon, the Shadow Transport Secretary, on 3 October 2021.

    You cannot trust a word the Tories say. Expecting people to accept endless rebadging of promises made years ago is insulting.

    Poor transport connectivity continues to hold back the North, Midlands and beyond and the Conservatives’ record is one of total failure to deliver. Communities that stand to lose out once again – thanks to the Government’s incompetence and inability to keep projects on track – will rightly feel betrayed by yet another broken promise dressed up as a new announcement.

  • Therese Coffey – 2021 Comments on the Household Support Fund

    Therese Coffey – 2021 Comments on the Household Support Fund

    The comments made by Therese Coffey, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, on 30 September 2021.

    Over the last year, we have helped millions of people provide for their families. Many are now back on their feet but we know that some may still need further support. Our targeted Household Support Fund is here to help those vulnerable households with essential costs as we push through the last stages of our recovery from the pandemic.
