    Matthew Pennycook – 2022 Statement on Disorder on Greenwich Peninsula

    The statement made by Matthew Pennycook, the Labour MP for Greenwich and Woolwich, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.

    Yesterday evening saw significant disorder on the Greenwich Peninsula involving a large group of youths discharging fireworks. This was deeply distressing for residents and I will be having further discussions with the police, council and others about how we tackle the problem.

    Alastair Campbell – 2022 Comments on Matt Hancock Going on I’m a Celebrity

    The comments made by Alastair Campbell, the former Director of Communications at 10 Downing Street, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.

    Of course perfectly understandable that Matt Hancock loses the whip for deciding to become a national joke by going on I’m a celeb. But what about Johnson and his never-ending holidays? Added to which both should be charged over Covid misconduct in public office anyway!!

    Chris Bryant – 2022 Comments on Matt Hancock Going on I’m a Celebrity

    The comments made by Chris Bryant, the Labour MP for Rhondda, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.

    There is something deeply unpleasant about the former health secretary playing around in the jungle when his constituents are facing a cost of living crisis and long covid sufferers are looking for answers from the inquiry.

    Bell Ribeiro-Addy – 2022 Comments on Matt Hancock Going on I’m a Celebrity

    The comments made by Bell Ribeiro-Addy, the Labour MP for Streatham, on 1 November 2022.

    Matt Hancock’s choice to go off gallivanting on reality TV is an insult to his constituents and the thousands who died because of his mismanagement of the pandemic.

    It smacks of entitlement. If Hancock can’t be bothered to do his job, he should stand down and call a by-election.

    Ed Miliband – 2022 Comments on BP’s Profits

    The comments made by Ed Miliband, the Shadow Energy Secretary, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.

    Today’s BP profits are damning evidence of the failure of the Tories to levy a proper windfall tax.

    Rishi Sunak should be hanging his head in shame that he has left billions of windfall profits in the pockets of oil and gas firms during an energy crisis.

    Hate crimes targeting Muslims rose by 28% in the last year, accounting for 42% of all religiously-motivated hate crimes. This #IAM2022, Labour stands united against this pervasive hatred. Labour’s Race Equality Act will tackle the racial inequality that scars our society.

    The comments made by Ian Blackford, the Leader of the SNP in Westminster, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.

    Rishi Sunak has no mandate to impose devastating Tory austerity cuts – or, indeed, any mandate at all.

    With the Tories and Labour Party imposing Brexit and cuts, independence is the only way to keep Scotland safe and get back on the path to prosperity.

    Yvette Cooper – 2022 Comments on the Language Used by Suella Braverman

    The comments made by Yvette Cooper, the Shadow Home Secretary, on 1 November 2022.

    No Home Secretary serious about public safety or national security would use the language Suella Braverman did the day after a petrol bomb attack on a Dover centre.

    But that’s the point. She isn’t serious about any of those things

    Ramps up rhetoric because has no answers.
