you guys know i'm not gonna put up with the whiny nonsense from a grieved maga republican. i am so honored to be in this fight and i am so ready for the challenge. and you know what, you probably can't do better than to quote george washington in this moment. fix the bayonets, i'm resolved to take trenton. [cheering] >> you think this is just the community center? it is more than that. >> comcast is parting with a dozen community centers to

create wi-fi enabled listings so students from low-income families can get the tools they need to be ready for anything. comcas support c-span as a public service along with these other television providers giving you a front row seat to democracy. >> live now to london and the british house of commons. prime minister keir starmer taken questions during prime minister's question time. >> we put of the for the biggest nuclear building program in a generation. thank you, mister speaker. the party opposite delivers no new nuclear in the country. would you agree with me this

labour government is committed to delivering energy security, good jobs and lower bills for families across wales? >> i think my honorable friend for the question. she will know the cycle see consortium, a group of 200 nuclear supply chain companies have a memorandum of understanding with the welsh government which will result in an investment of up to 900 million pounds in the welsh nuclear supply-chain. wilbur previously hopes for the nuclear power plant and it is the best potential site for new nuclear deployments. >> before we come to prime minister's questions, i welcome the president and delegations of the french national assembly and also nights of boston and -- >> question one. >> mister speaker, can i wish a happy birthday for yesterday?

we are all delighted by a great sporting icon has received what is richly deserved for him. it is karis week and the house will join me in tolerating the selfless dedication of our young carers. this weekend marks the eighth anniversary of the tower fire. we honor the 72 men, women and children, who lost their lives by delivering meaningful and lasting change. a country with safe and secure homes for everyone and where justice is found for the community. alongside our allies we sanctioned individuals responsible for inciting a falling set of violent expansion and we've done that to uphold human rights and defend the prospects of a 2 state solution. we will continue to support all

efforts to secure a cease-fire, the release of all hostages despicably held by hamas, and humanitarian aid that needs to surge. mr. speaker, this morning i had meetings in this house, there will be more meetings later today. >> my constituents five years ago, working alongside the honorable members i made a number of requests to discuss another victim's case with ministers and to explored reducing legislation. would the prime minister need several families along with other victims families. and telling the courts to hear why they are calling for a new

criminal offense of desecrating a body to be introduced? >> thank you for raising this horrific case and the other similar cases. and the whole house with michael's family and all those affected by such vile crimes. we all need to listen to what they have to say. i know she has been working with the honorable friend on this issue and i pay tribute to her and all of those for working so hard on this issue and i'm sure the justice minister will be in touch to take this forward and thank you for raising a really important issue. >> thank you. prime minister, in clusters of the shire after 14 years, waiting lists for physical and mental health are finally falling. but last week i hosted a roundtable with young people and heard how music and art

programs like the fantastic gloucestershire music work are also in all of that. utilizing laughter to improve well-being and reduce waiting lists. can i ask the prime minister to back our campaign in create of health and urge him to go further in reducing waiting lists for all patients? >> he's got great expertise. he worked for many years in the nhs as a gp and i support the work he is doing. cutting waiting lists by almost 5,000 in his local trust but we are going further including through state-of-the-art radiotherapy machines rolled out across the country, mr. speaker, with one going into his constituency and 27 other hospital trusts including two hospitals in the constituency of the leader of the opposition

made possible by the decisions we've made. we welcome of that. >> perhaps the prime minister know something i don't know. there's only one hospital in my constituency. mr. speaker, since -- mr. speaker, since labor took office, mr. speaker, inflation has nearly doubled, unemployment has surged. is this what the prime minister meant when he tweeted that the economy is improving? >> since the election 500,000 more people are in work. i don't -- talking britain down, we are investing in the future. mister speaker, even in the last two weeks the strategic

defense review 30,000 new jobs building submarines, yesterday 10,000 new jobs, tens of thousands of construction jobs with affordable housing announced this morning, that is the difference labor makes in government. >> he must be talking about a different economy. all of us in this house heard about unemployment increasing, unemployment has increased every month since labor took office. last year he said he was taking winter fuel payments the way to balance the books but the books are not balanced. in fact they are worse. of this year the deficit is forecast to be 10 billion pounds higher since the budget, not since last election, since the budget. in what way are the books now found? >> she obviously missed the interest rate cuts, the growth figures from earlier this year,

the strategic defense review, local transport of 15 billion pounds going in. social housing. mr. speaker, i think liz trusts is obviously back in vogue hunting the tories and it reminds her the shadow home secretary gave a lose trust budget, 9.5 out of 10. the leader of the opposition says what was wrong with liz trusts's budget was not the pocket but the way it was sold. they learned absolutely nothing. >> mister speaker, he loves talking about liz trus. why? because he wants to hide from

his own economic record. every time he talks about that, he is scared about talking about his record and what happened to the economy. let's bring it back to the use her and he's running away from, a u-turn his mps sent time and time again to go through what is happening here. one minute they said it was right to take winter fuel payments away, the next minute they said was right to give it back. he stands there are all puffed up and self-righteous. why can't the prime minister just admit that he made a mistake? >> mister speaker, 22 billion pound black hole we have to build, that's why we took the right decision, we stabilized four interest rate cuts, it is unsustainable on that side, 470 pounds the most pensioners and

growth, three weeks ago i said i wanted more pensions to be eligible for winter fuel, set out the threshold of the certainty that is needed but she said i don't want to talk about my record, what about free trade deals, record investments, breakfast clubs, social affordable housing, defense review, we could go on all morning. mr. speaker, she said she would be getting better in the roles. she could start by apologizing for the liz trus budget. >> i get better every week, he gets worse. he gets worse. last week, last week, mr. speaker -- >> if you think that is a good look, it is a very bad look. i would think twice before you

try to shut somebody down in that way. >> last week he had to get his line from the russian embassy. we all know he is getting worse and what he does not want to talk about is how he is going to make the economy better. that is what the people out there want to hear and he has no answer. these trade deals have unraveled, the strategic defense review, everyone is asking where the money is coming from and he doesn't know how to balance the books. the chancellor's is the winter fuel payment u-turn will be funded through a higher tory. what the prime mister admit it will be funded by putting everything after taxes up? change i think she let slip that she rehearses her fury, very good rehearsal this morning i think. mr. speaker, she asks what we are doing but the project, we put record investments in but she comes every week to talk about national insurance but doesn't

stand with the courage of her convictions to say she will reverse it. the reason she won't, she won't stand up and say she's against the investment in public services but we all listened carefully in 20 minutes when the chancellor laid out more record investments whether they welcome it or say they wouldn't support it. >> mister speaker, every week i come here to tell him the truth. that the economy is in a spiraling labor and all of them, labor put up taxes that cut rates and we all heard the prime minister who didn't rule out tax raises so they will put up taxes even more. that's a spiraling if that wasn't bad enough, this morning we heard because of his terrible deal, they are cutting income taxes. why on earth should the british taxpayers pay 30 billion pounds for tax cuts?

>> diego garcia is a vital intelligence and strategic capability. it is absolutely clear that legal uncertainty would compromise it in very short order. that is why there's a negotiation in relationships and no responsible prime minister would let that happen. we secured the base for a long time. that's being welcomed by the us, by nato, by australia, new zealand, india. it's been opposed by adversaries russia, china, and iran. an act reforms. >> the prime minister knows this is nothing to do with national security but his bad negotiating. it was a bad deal before and it is still a bad deal and in half an hour the chancellor is going to stand up and tell us

everything is fine but she has made bad choices, bad choices sending higher inflation, bad choices that lead to lower growth, bad choices that meant jobs been lost every month. hundreds of thousands of families who lost their income in their constituencies, businesses across the country, the chancellor lost all her head room, she's fallen out with a cabinet, she's making unfounded spending commitments which he promised not to do. is in the truth we got the wrong chancellor and the wrong priorities? >> the wrong choice they made was making her leader of the opposition. >> thank you, belated birthday greetings to you, mr. speaker, it is wrong for any labor government, the labor government should ever try to balance the books on the backs of disabled people yet in just a few weeks time that is what

the prime minister will ask this house to do. many of us will not be able to go along with that because it will mean people who need assistance to cut up their food, to watch themselves, dress themselves and go to the toilet will lose what they currently get that is vital support. this week the prime minister changed direction on winter fuel payments. will he do the same in relation to this and drop these disability benefit cuts? >> it is very important we make the changes to our welfare system. it is not working. it needs reform. everybody agrees with that. it doesn't work for anyone. we will do so on a principled basis that those who can work should work, those that want to work should be supported to do so, we must protect those with the most severe disabilities who will never be able to work and we are doing that by ending reassessments of paying a new premium.

>> a liberal democrat saving. >> can i join others in wishing many happy returns for yesterday and can i welcome the government sanctions to the benjamin netanyahu government, the violence they have in the cited, the secular violence they incited against innocent palestinians on the west bank is intolerable and the government's right to act. as it is cares week, can i pay tribute to the millions of unpaid family cares across the country and recognize the challenges that they face. >> the last conservative government left the health service on its knees. we heard reports the nhs will get exit funding, if it does, we will support that. does the prime minister agree no amount of money for the nhs will solve this crisis unless

we also a fix care? without preempting the chancellor's statement will the prime minister reassure me social care and family care will get the priorities they deserve in the spending review? >> can i agree with him the crisis created by the previous government, that is exactly how the country feels about the last 14 years. we need to fix social care along the money we are putting inside the nhs, putting record amounts, that's the right thing to do but we are seeing the results, we promise to million extra points in the first year for labor government, we delivered 3 minutes so there will be extra funding, while he welcome the extra funding he can't also spend time raising money for funding. there is an incompatibility there. >> the prime minister knows a

better way of funding and i regret the fact that he didn't answer my question on care. moving on. the prime minister is right to increase spending and later we will hear the difficult choices the chancellor has had to make partly to fund the defense expenditure but there are 25 billion pounds of frozen russian assets in the uk right now. billions that could be used to stop vladimir putin's war machine and to boost britain's defense industry even faster. so the g7 this weekend, will prime minister try to seek an agreement to see use those frozen russian state assets and use them to support ukraine? >> as he knows, that is an issue that is being considered but it is complicated and there are a lot of countervailing

things that need to be successfully balanced and a decision that could be made, we are talking about allies, because there isn't. >> thank you, mister speaker. more jobs, cheaper bills. that was our promise on net 0. if we can meet those goals then we must consider our approach. we have a proud industrial history rooted in that, and exciting opportunity in floating offshore wind and the celtic sea. can the prime minister assure me that he is committed to a just transition that protects and creates jobs? >> i believe this government has the opportunities of net 0 for working people creating

skilled jobs taking them off the roller coaster of the volatile fossil fuel market. underpass government hard-working communities have their jobs ripped away and we will never do that in relation to a transition. we've already seen 40 billion pounds of investment and the cbi shows 38,000 jobs in wales are for clean energy. i want to see more of that. >> mister speaker, with your indulgence i want to pay tribute for toppling public order in northern ireland the last few nights, over 30 police officers injured. i'm sure the house will join with me in condemning the violence. whether is in belfast, the surgical smear scandal in the 7 trust or the crash that impacted my constituents, the

common thread here is family simply wanted the truth but they were that down at every cut and turn. will this government ensure that reflects what families have fought so hard for? >> can i start with the important points about alameda? i utterly condemn the violence we've seen overnight in other parts of northern ireland, it is absolutely vital to give the time they need to investigate the incidents concerned rather than face mindless attacks as they seek to bring peace and order to keep people safe in northern ireland. i'm being kept updated in relation to that. in relation to the tragic cases she raises, i thank her for

raising them, and it is important we have a legal duty and we will be introducing that because as she says there must be a true here based on all people being dealt with on the basis of dignity, fairness and accountability. >> thank you, mister speaker. in the words of the former israeli prime minister, what we are witnessing in gaza is indiscriminate this, limitless, cruel and criminal killing of civilians. more than 50,000 people have been killed, children have been shot, a growing number of genocide scholars including leading israeli academics believe that genocide is taking place. under international law we have a duty to prevent genocide. i served on the un mission in

kosovo, we acted to stop mass killing there. what is the difference now? will the prime minister please intervene immediately to alleviate human suffering and take steps to recognize the state of palestine? >> the speaker should have seen the statement we made in the actions we are taking with allies, the humanitarian situation is dreadful and distressing, and scenes that we have witnessed outside of a distribution centers are heartbreaking. more aid is needed. 's relapse plan for delivery is inadequate and insufficient. what is needed is for the un and other agencies to deliver that aid according to well-established mechanisms and israel must allows this. we are working with allies to do all we can to make this happen and to get the hostages out who have been held for a very long time on a desperately

needed return to a cease-fire. >> prime minister, there are concerns about potential job losses. will prime minister agree, including unions, the business industry and the secretary's for northern ireland around the table to ensure these jobs are protected especially considering, northern ireland businesses with the workings of the northern ireland protocol in the winter framework. can the prime minister give me reassurances that he is working to resolve all those issues? >> grateful for raising this important case of spirit aerosystems in northern ireland. i know how important it is for the workforce which i've visited the myself on more than one occasion and the decision to expand uk operations is good

news for the sector for world-class manufacturing expertise and i want to see those high skilled jobs protect. the northern ireland secretary has met trade unions to discuss the best outcome. the minister of industry is considering to meet with stakeholders and we will do everything we can in relation to the situation. grateful for raising it. >> thank you. join me in the transport minister of the previous government who turned their back on promises to deliver a new train station which in my constituency, of memorandums and will he also agree the condition on the development must be honored and the infrastructure must accompany all developments as we get on with the job of building millions of new homes? >> i know you've been hiding -- fighting hard for this project

for years that the previous government failed to deliver. you can say that about anything they touch, mr. speaker but the real minister is working with the housing minister on an appropriate solution for housing in the area. we will also bring see 2 see back into public ownership improving reliability of performance and ensuring every penny is focused, and we are talking about government. >> thank you, mr. speaker. children with special education needs and disability, the support they need in the school. however, if as a result the child is out of school, they are facing fines or prison time. punishing parents for a failing broken system is outrageous. will the prime minister end this, support the amendment and meet with me to discuss this further? >> thank you for raising this.

the epidemic of absence in the schools is something that does worry me and concern me. thanks to the efforts of schools and parents across the country we've seen 3 million more days in school this year compared to last which is important but we do know people with educational needs face compex theories in relation to school attendance. we will look at all amendment to the joy but in this instance we struck the right balance. >> may i start by congratulating -- there's been a long campaign by the commerce secretary, the speaker, the honorable member to make a deal, many in this house, congratulations but 12,000 people in blackpool, this is a damning indictment of the previous 14 years, families in my constituency are waiting for

housing, stopping that and breakfast, all of my constituent casing, with or two children in tow. with the prime minister along said deputy prime ministers commit to a generation of social housing and counsel housing in my constituency and help me build a better buckle? >> the comments about billy boston, the house will, we are turning the tide on the housing crisis with the biggest investment in social affordable housing in a generation, investing 39 billion pounds over the next we 10 years almost double what we saw in the last government, the national housing federation welcome to this transformative hope for thousands who need safe, secure, affordable homes. >> it is national diabetes weekend as someone living with type one, we are more than

aware of the complications diabetics face, if it is not caught early enough could be fatal. 1/4 of children with diabetes went in and that could be avoided with early diagnosis. with a promise to commit to rolling out national universal screening programs? >> i thank you for championing this important issue. my late mother had diabetes. i thought at first hand, the struggle it can be and how important it is. type i diabetes is not preventable but the sooner we can reach people the sooner we can care for them. we have a screening program in the uk across the country. 20,000 children have taken part. it is important to continue to deliver that but thank you for continuing to champion this and to raise her voice on this important issue. >> it is crystal clear how

social media and smart phones are harming people with cyberbullying, ministers are considering a 2 hour limit. i know the prime minister texas seriously so can he update the house on what he wants to see happen and what action his government will take to protect our children. >> it is important we take action to protect our children. from july, tough new rules must protect children in the uk from seeing harmful and violent content, we need to look at other measures needed to create safer experiences for young people and we won't hesitate to take further steps. >> concerning statistics show delays for cancer treatments are greater than the national average related to struggles we face in older rural constituencies. a promise to get the nhs back and fighting for it after the

crippled damage inflicted on it by the conservatives. with the promise to recognize rural health services face specific challenges and can he give his word the reforms to spending we need will come forward to address this? >> thank you for raising this important issue. i think it does impact rural areas in particular, we set out record funding for the nhs. we heard the chancellor giving that reassurance. >> final question. >> thank you, mister speaker, the prime minister and members across the house have witnessed a spectacular adversity. my constituents see failure. are there any changes in skills for scotland? can i ask the prime minister has he seen calls in the snp to

resign and would he need a leader who only ever lost elections to the labour party to statehood? >> can i pay tribute to the role she and others played in seeing davey russell elected? he will be a -- and her constituency. after two decades in power they got their verdict last thursday, scotland wants change, they are completely out of ideas, that is why they want a labour government to deliver real change. >> that completes prime minister's questions. >> saturday the u.s. army marks its 250th anniversary with a parade near the national in washington flyovers and nearly 7000 soldiers in uniform from past anpresent, c-span live coverage begins at 6 p.m. eastern with a look at the army's history aith
