    Jeremy Corbyn – 2022 Comments on the Resignation of Suella Braverman as Home Secretary

    The comments made by Jeremy Corbyn, the Independent MP for North Islington, on Twitter on 19 October 2022.

    Two weeks ago, Suella Braverman told us her dream was to witness a flight sending refugees to Rwanda. Thankfully, she has now resigned.

    For the sake of humanity, we must ensure it’s the living dreams of refugees, not the dying dreams of Suella Braverman, that are actualised.

    43 – Suella Braverman, Home Secretary

    This is chaos. If the Tories can’t govern, get out of the way for a party that can.

    Ed Miliband – 2022 Comments on Fracking

    The comments made by Ed Miliband, the Shadow Business Secretary, on 18 October 2022.

    Labour will ban fracking for good. The Conservatives are u-turning on their manifesto and seeking to impose fracking on communities across the country.

    Simon Clarke – 2022 Statement on the Performance of Liz Truss in the House of Commons

    The statement made by Simon Clarke, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, on Twitter on 19 October 2022.

    Really good performance from Liz Truss at PMQs. While Sir Keir tried to crack jokes, she landed the key point: mistakes have been made but this is a world where interest rates are rising everywhere as central banks combat the inflation caused by Putin’s horrific war.

    Brandon Lewis – 2022 Comments on Government’s Emergency Statement

    The comments made by Brandon Lewis, the Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor, on Twitter on 18 October 2022.

    Leadership means taking tough decisions, even when it’s uncomfortable. It means confronting challenges, taking stock and changing course when necessary. The PM and the Chancellor have acted to bolster economic stability and I welcome the statements today.

    Emma Hardy – 2022 Comments on the State Pension

    The comments made by Emma Hardy, the Labour MP for Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle, on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    The Chancellor refused to commit to raising the state pension in line with inflation in April. The PM had promised to do this previously. If the rise doesn’t come it will push many more pensioners into poverty.

    Simon Clarke – 2022 Comments on Government’s Emergency Statement

    The comments made by Simon Clarke, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    This is the Government that’s delivered record low unemployment, led the Western response to Ukraine, honoured Brexit and got us through Covid. Our PM’s fundamental conviction that we need stronger growth-supporting policies remains the right one.

    Sarah Owen – 2022 Comments on Government’s Emergency Statement

    The comments made by Sarah Owen, the Labour MP for Luton North, on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    Couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

    The PM hasn’t taken difficult decisions, she crashed the economy and isn’t taking responsibility.

    Working out how to feed your children or heat your home are actual difficult decisions facing people because of this woeful Tory Govt. GTTO.

    Gina Miller – 2022 Comments on the Well-Being of Liz Truss

    The comments made by Gina Miller on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    I have been a staunch critic of Liz Truss, but there is something odd about how Penny Mordaunt is saying the PM cannot be in the House of Commons to answer questions.

    We must never lose our humanity.

    Colum Eastwood – 2022 Comments on Government’s Emergency Statement

    The comments made by Colum Eastwood, the SDLP MP for Foyle, on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    The Tories promised unfunded tax cuts for the mega-rich while working people were left to a market meltdown that sent mortgage rates through the roof.

    Today Jeremy Hunt indicated that energy support will come to an end in April. We need guaranteed support for energy bills now.
