9:03 pm
9:04 pm
>> it's just starting. whoever is speaking or asking questions. his genuine about preventing strikes, how many meetings the secretary have had this week to stop it. this is the government that loves the railways and invests in the railways, 96 billion into the integrated railway. we have to modernize our railway. we are planning to make sure you have to, yesterday had 25.
9:05 pm
and on the picket line -- i will even if you don't. you ought to show respect to the families. on the picket line mr. speaker while we back this. [chanting] >> i'm surprised. if i do need advice, 100,000, i would ask for these recommendations. and where you have it, the prime minister of this country and transport secretary, a single meeting held a conversation were
9:06 pm
lifted up to stop these strikes. i did know monday having a meeting with himself for 120,000 pounds. there's money coming his way. he's nowhere to be seen. rather than blame everyone else, why doesn't he do his job, get on the table and get the trains running. [chanting] we are making sure we do everything we can as he knows it's up to the railway company to negotiate and that is their job and 16 billion pounds looking up at the railway in every household 600 pounds. we know why even now he hasn't got the gumption to call it out
9:07 pm
going out to support them. the reason his authority is on the line is they take 10 million pounds. [chanting] left the scene they are receiving. he can't help himself. it's a huge problem facing the country and all he is interested in is blaming everyone else. the country is screaming at him, get on with your job. he blames everyone and anyone, these people are paying a price. this week his treasury minister said its responsibility for people to take the favor. at the same time his chief of staff is trying to change the
9:08 pm
law to get them. so come on, only one of them could be right. his of his treasury minister on a pay cut or is it his chief of staff to says every banker needs it? the pay of rise to increase the living wage by 1000 pounds and increase universal credit so people get 1000 pounds more. it's everyone of the 8 million households. that's what we can do with top decisions we've taken. in the meantime, what we are also trying to do is transport, reforming our railway. he's hand standing with the strikers and for everybody, that
9:09 pm
is the reality. his chief of staff says we are moving the bankers in his words, is reflective of our view approach. the city bankers pay district nurses, that is the new approach. this hasn't come from nowhere because according to financial times last year, the prime minister was directly lobbied. the working people, he's rolled over on bankers, fascinating. what we are actually doing is putting these decisions we've taken and put more money into the pockets of people up and down the country, 1200 pounds more, 8 million more household and the reason we can do that is
9:10 pm
we took the tough decisions necessary to come out of the pandemic faster than any other european country. that's why we have unemployment at or near record lows. none of that would be possible if we didn't have this and we have more people now in payroll than before the pandemic began. that is what these people know and what continue to deliver. >> high tax, low wages, low gross. working people paying more taxes to the government and now they are told to take a pay cut. he's having meetings about increasing bankers bonuses but can't find time for a single meeting to end the strike quickly and responsibly. armed forces and this prime minister serving our country,
9:11 pm
attacks pay cut. his government is more focused on increasing banks. >> order, order. your voices are quiet. mind carries. if you want it to carry, try this. mr. eager, it's armed forces week. under this prime minister, those serving our country are facing a real terms pay cut. why is his government more focused on creasing bankers pay them the pay of those running the country? [chanting] how satirical, should talk about our support for the armed forces and increase funding for our armed forces and with eight and
9:12 pm
foreign secretary, we are helping people. it is true, mr. speaker, we are helping people across the country, we come in with the 8 million most vulnerable households. insurance going into the bank account and others but we are also doing is performing our systems, performing our energy market building a nuclear reactor every year, one in every ten years getting people off welfare. half a million people are forced -- the time people are waiting for working people by delivering reform out on the picket line literally holding hands with them. [chanting]
9:13 pm
this is a government taking this country forward and they will take it back to the 1970s. [chanting] >> we have labor no growth and services. we have those is the industries services want to catch up on this loss during the pandemic. this takes us back to the 1970s. will we focus on the future and show we have apprenticeships focusing on engineering driver training to ensure we recover services cost, and industry focus on efficiency and technologies of the future.

reports for the uk economy. it could not be clearer, the government disasters exit is driving it pushing inflation up and will further over the next decade. the prime minister is threatening the worst possible place. he's come to his senses and negotiate with the eu. is he going to be woefully push the uk? >> mr. speaker, nobody wants a trade war nor is there any need for one you're underestimating country. record investment in this country which is overtaking china and that is being felt

throughout the whole of united kingdom. [chanting] >> i support the work of this government and the united kingdom. this includes transports, the prime minister and his government to support improvements and this study to extend this on. >> thank you for that piece of lobbying, i could tell we are looking at the department of transport working to transport on the railway on the a1 decision made later this year. >> it's emerged for a backlog of 23000 applications in this policy, just two of the

9:21 pm
about to publish a bill, you can have it both ways. >> i think the gentleman would just wait for the justice secretary of state which will follow shortly, you will find he follows what he said. >> have my campaign to level up and tackle the cost -- [chanting] to job fairs and the governments leveling out to benefit from a skill and incubator state sink apprenticeships on the old way neglected under labor. will my friends placed his support and level up in action.

[cheering] [inaudible] >> i could tell him none will be canceled as a result of the strike so far.
9:26 pm
we expect schools and colleges to have arrangements in place to manage disruption if students arrive late, school should allow them to take the paper and exam to be determined on how late the student is. if the student misses the exam completely, the school could apply for the grades to be calculated from the other assessment that completed and that is helpful. >> thank you, mr. speaker. the prime minister had problems that arose the european cup final. both the french, liverpool fans in the stadium, comprehensively disproven. enjoy the french police event is condemned.
