Speech in Commons Chamber - Tue 14 Oct 2025 Middle East
"I suspect that one reason our optimism is cautious is that many of us are acutely aware that the damage that has been done will last a generation—on all sides of the conflict. For some, the damage can never be repaired. I thought yesterday of my constituent Sharone Lifschitz, whose …..." Stella Creasy - View Speech
"I appreciate the Secretary of State setting out the Government’s ambitions. I have to pick her up on something, though, because she said this policy would be free, but ultimately the taxpayer will have to pay for it. The costings that we have seen are about £1 billion to £2 …..." Stella Creasy - View Speech
"I join colleagues in expressing my condolences to the families of those who lost a loved one in last week’s attack.

I am not here as a supporter or defender of Palestine Action and …..." Stella Creasy - View Speech
"I welcome the Minister’s recognition of the impact of this policy on equality. He will know that this Monday was Mums’ Equal Pay Day. Mums earn 33% less than dads, so from 1 September, mums in this country basically work for free. Affordable childcare is critical to closing that gap. …..." Stella Creasy - View Speech
