care in clapton which is in crisis. our ics has done the money and the private firm has found the students to massively increase dental appointment and my patch. however, paper pushers in nhs england keep citing spear his reasons that this ground breaking initiative being deployed. does my right honorable friend agree with me that this is scandalous and should be dealt with and those people blocking it held to account? >> rime minister. >> our dentistry recovery plan will make dental services faster, simpler and fair for patients including in clapton and will fund around 2.5 million more appointments. on the matter my right honorable friend raises, as he will know this is a local matter so the integrated care board will determine if they wish to support the pilot proposal in clapton on another minister for public health has written to my honorable friend about the proposal and help her letter addresses his concerned. >> we come to the leader of the opposition keir starmer.

[shouting] >> thank you, mr. speaker. can i join with the prime minister's remarks about the campbells. tory mps that leslie claiming britain is run by shadowy cabal made up of activists, the deep state, , and most chillingly of all, the financial times. [laughing] at what point did his part to give up on governing and become the political wing of the flat earth society? >> mr. speaker, mr. speaker, another week with the honorable member is just sniping from the sidelines because he has absolutely nothing that he can say what we do. what were getting on with, mr. speaker, is delivering on the people's priorities, a number of small votes down by third mr. speaker and improving inflation, consuming to fall. and, and mr. speaker, not only that we're delivering a significant tax tax cut for millions of working britons

while his incoherent energy plans would put taxes up for everyone across the country. >> mr. speaker, his predecessor spent last week in america trying to flog her new book, in search of fame and wealth, she's taken to slagging off -- [shouting] >> they made her prime minister, now they can't bear talking about her. in search of fame and wealth, she's taken to slagging off and undermining britain at every opportunity. [shouting] she claimed that as prime minister she was sabotaged by the deep state. she also remained silent as tommy robinson that right-wing thug was described as a hero. why is he allowing her to stand as a tory mp of the next election? >> well, mr. speaker, i don't believe a single member of this

house supports tommy robinson. [shouting] but, mr. speaker, if he wants to talk about former leaders and predecessors, the whole country knows his record because he sat there while anti-semitism ran right in this party. and not once but twice backed a man who called hamas friends, mr. speaker. but to their credit, to their credit the shadow chancellor, the shadow home secretary and a deep the secretary refused to back the former labour leader, that he didn't because he's a a spineless, helpless and utterly shameless. [shouting] >> mr. speaker, mr. speaker, i change my party for the better. he is being changed by his party. the reason he's leading her stand is because he's too weak

to do anything about it. it's the story of his leadership. when they refuse to accept any blame for the ruin of the last 14 years, you do wonder who they think should be running the country all this time. thankfully the former prime minister is on hand they can to help. it turns out it's all the fault of the media, the corporate world, and bizarrely, president of the united states. winston churchill once said the price a great disc is responsibility. now i don't think the british public are expecting gratis from this prime minister, just a bit of accountability. the doesn't think it be great if just for once this tories actually took responsibility. >> mr. speaker, he talks about leadership, he talks about change but when i learned that something that i didn't agree with i suspended one of my mps straight away. but when he, mr. speaker, so mr. speaker, when he learned, when you learned a bio and the

semitic remarks made by a labour candidate, what did he do, mr. speaker? he instructed his team to defend him. [shouting] he sent a shadow cabinet minister to campaign for him and he personally backed him for days, and that's the difference between us. i act on my principles. he hasn't got any. [shouting] >> i can't believe he says that with a straight face. the former prime minister continued on her american odyssey. this work, this journey into the wild west of her mind, she also claimed, she also claimed, mr. speaker, that nigel farage is aa man to restore the tory party. can the prime minister confirm whether he, too, would welcome nigel farage back into the tour tory fold? >> mr. speaker, in our party we have a proud tradition of

diversity and accepting everyone from every background. it is a proud record that puts labour to shame, mr. speaker. this is a party that delivered the first jewish prime minister, the first female prime minister, the first black chancellor, the first muslim home secretary and now led by the first british asian prime minister. [shouting] while it seems he can only champion men from north london,, it's the conservatives represent modern britain. [shouting] >> so, so this, this diverse tory party does welcome nigel farage. the prime minister two months, two months, two months ago the prime minister come the tour party has brought up, welcome lots of people who want to subscribe to our ideals and our values. this is the same nigel farage said he agreed with the basic premise of enoch powell river a

blood speech, but known the influence of the jewish lobby. so is the prime minister simply too scared to stand up to the gaggle of tory mp who moonlight as presenters, , or does he generally think nigel farage shares ideas and values of the tory party? >> mr. speaker, he wants to talk about values, but tomorrow in rockdale the people have a choice of three former labour candidates, two of which are anti-sea mites -- anti-semites. the truth is despite three at the ex-labour candidate stan he he can't back a single one of them. mr. speaker, it's because we expelled anti-semites. he make some labour candidates. [shouting] >> mr. speaker, the truth is these are no longer the tories your parents voted for, and the public can see it. the prime minister is lost

control of his party to the halls of reckless amount of -- the tinfoil hat brigade over there, the extremist who wrecked the economy, all lining up to undermine him, humiliate him, and eventually to get rid of him. when will they ever stand up to them and in the pathetic spectacle of a tory party that used to try and beat nigel farage, not giving up and dancing to his tune instead? >> mr. speaker, mr. speaker, i utterly shameless from someone who stood by while anti-semitism ran rife in his party, oversaw the appalling situation and twice back back a member fr islington north. ..

[chanting] mr. speaker, two years ago last saturday, russian forces launched an attack on ukraine. the british people have been magnificent and all of those have done so much. ukrainian people have been welcomed. mr. speaker, we must never tell you any. but the prime minister support ukraine and nato allies will

continue to be unwavering. [cheering] mr. speaker, 70000 and 75 million in shelter, what's considered to be fair conditions in northern gaza and 100 hostages held by hamas. it is the core of the numbers that they have a seat.

this house should demand an immediate cease-fire. president biden indicated the cease-fire me take place from monday. >> mr. speaker, who called for the immediate humanitarian which would allow the release of hostages and british nationals and aid that reached gaza and progress and we urge everyone on all sides to seize the opportunity and up and clear from this terrible tragedy find a lasting resolution on a promise of a two state solution and sure palestinians live in dignity. >> five months since the conflict began in this

government on these occasions for cease-fire. it is not leadership. can i ask the prime minister, should this come before the united nations? >> the resolution in the united nations but just calling for an immediate cease-fire that could be within days or weeks.

>> thank you and back to the open government, we have information but with machine learning and a.i., it's becoming more prevalent and looking at the information is going to disrupt society and our economy. >> can i join my honorable friend like him, i am proud of our record of a.i. resolution, the first a.i. establishing the a.i. report and global a.i. safety summit.

to articulate that position, if they are not going to do that, what would you say that this place really is? >> it is not right to call for an immediate cease-fire and two more fighting and not get more aid into gaza but also make sure we can safely remove hostages and we have been calling for immediate cease-fire so it's not in anyone's interest and we

should keep pressure on our party to come to a resolution market share my enthusiasm, 27 you across the country three. to improve the quality substructure. >> twenty-seven potential in england including an extra one and he's right, and has been made in recent years.

up from 76%, mr. speaker. alongside this side of the house, they are the strictest and unlimited opportunity. >> over 14000 pounds a year and master the prime minister in 2024 a new childcare offer. parents don't know they can ask.

>> they have died in this recommendation to the government in april, 2023. 329 days ago with the prime minister join to explain why his government failed to implement the recommendation? >> the suffering of all those impacted and consistently acknowledged and shall be delivered. the government has accepted this which is why monday we are springing forward an amendment
