The comments made by Alastair Campbell on Twitter on 12 January 2022.
Just be clear what just happened. The serving Prime Minister just admitted breaking a law he had legislated for and misleading Parliament and public about having done so. And he thinks he should stay. And his rotten stinking party seem to think so too.
The comments made by Wes Streeting, the Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, on 11 January 2022.
It’s unacceptable for almost half of patients to be left waiting, often in pain and distress, for more than four hours in A&E over Christmas.
After a decade of Tory mismanagement of the NHS, we went into the pandemic with record A&E waiting times, leaving us in the worst possible position when Covid struck.
It’s not just that the Tories didn’t fix the roof while the sun was shining, they dismantled the roof and removed the floorboards.
Labour will secure the future of the NHS with the staff, modern equipment and technology needed to bring waiting times down.
The comments made by Ed Miliband, the Shadow Climate Change and Net Zero Secretary, on 11 January 2022.
Broken promises don’t pay the bills.
Both Boris Johnson and Michael Gove promised to cut VAT on energy bills. But when push comes to shove, when families and pensioners really need support, they’ve broken that commitment.
While Michael Gove backpedals, Rishi Sunak is missing in action.
Labour would give families security by immediately cutting VAT on energy bills now – part of our plan to save households around £200 or more, with extra support for those feeling the squeeze the most, paid for by a windfall tax on oil and gas companies facing record profits.
A Labour government will invest in renewables, nuclear and upgrading homes to solve the long term problem that the Conservatives have created in our broken energy system.
The comments made by Pat McFadden, the Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, on 10 January 2022.
Once again, when British families and businesses need support, the Chancellor has pulled a vanishing act and disappeared.
When the going gets tough, Rishi Sunak goes missing.
Labour would give families security by immediately cutting VAT on energy bills now – part of our plan to save households around £200 or more, as well as targeted support for those who need it most – with up to £600 in total off their bills.
Labour has set out a plan. The Chancellor is silent.
The comments made by Rebecca Pow, the Environment Minister, on 10 January 2022.
The pandemic has reinforced how much our homes, communities and outdoor spaces mean to us. Our commitment to protecting and enhancing our natural world can and must go hand in hand with our ambition to build more high quality homes.
Our plans to make sure new developments better protect and enhance wildlife and nature will create better places for people to live and work, and it will ensure we leave our environment in a better state for future generations.
The comments made by George Foulkes, a member of the House of Lords (Baron Foulkes of Cumnock), on 10 January 2022.
I am concerned that Baroness Mone has not registered her interest in PPE Medpro and also that her action appears to bring the house into disrepute. If Baroness Mone and her husband were involved in the company then it appears to me that she should have registered that as an interest, and she may have breached the rules against lobbying when she referred the company to the government. And with this conduct and her denials in relation to the company, she may have brought the house into disrepute, so I believe the commissioner should investigate.
The comments made by Maggie Throup, the Public Health Minister, on 10 January 2022.
We know that families have felt a lot of pressure throughout the pandemic which has drastically changed habits and routines
The new year is a good time for making resolutions, not just for ourselves, but for our families. Finding ways to improve their health is one of the best resolutions any of us could make.
By downloading the free NHS Food Scanner App, families can swap out foods from the weekly shop for healthier alternatives and avoid items high in salt, sugar and saturated fat.
The comments made by the legal team of Michelle Mone, a member of the House of Lords, on 8 January 2022 in response to allegations made by the Guardian Newspaper.
It is not possible to comment on unknown and unattributable WhatsApp messages allegedly sent 19 months ago.
The comments made by Angela Rayner, the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, on 8 January 2022.
The culture of total disregard for the rules seems to have been embedded into life in Downing Street from the very start of the pandemic.
When much of the country was struggling with empty shelves and a total lockdown with no meeting with others allowed, it seems No.10 were hosting parties from the very start.
Boris Johnson and his team are taking the country for fools. We need the report from Sue Gray’s independent investigation as soon as possible and Boris Johnson needs to face the consequences of his actions.
The comments made by Yvette Cooper, the Shadow Home Secretary, on 7 January 2022.
It is welcome that the ACRS is finally open, five months after it was promised. However it’s deeply concerning that it seems it still won’t be offering any new places for those fleeing persecution in Afghanistan for many more months.
Those who worked with the UK, including contractors on security and aid projects, won’t be included until at least next year, despite the risk to their lives as a result of the work they did. There is still no working route for the family members of British citizens trapped in Afghanistan, even after Labour called for a way for them to apply to the Resettlement Scheme. At the same time, the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan is escalating and there is no co-ordinated international plan to address it.
Delays getting these programmes in place will mean more lives are at risk and more desperate people vulnerable to exploitation by criminal traffickers as they try to make dangerous journeys by themselves. Already there are reports of more Afghans arriving in Calais and an Afghan soldier and his family travelling to the UK on a dangerous boat. Those who have helped our armed forces in Afghanistan and whose lives are now at risk shouldn’t be ending up on flimsy dinghies in a cold English Channel. We need faster action on the Government’s resettlement promises alongside a coordinated international plan to address the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan to prevent things getting worse.
