October 2017) Labour Party Conference Constituency Report (October 2017) Labour Party Conference As you all will know, this September we had a fantastic Labour Party Conference in Brighton. Throughout the Conference I met people buzzing with fresh ideas. The optimism and determination of our MPs and party activists contrasted so starkly with that of the government, and showed that we in the Labour Party are a government in waiting. At Labour Women’s Conference I had the honour of giving the keynote speech, which allowed me to pay tribute to those women who have paved the way Visiting the CWU Conference stand before me. I spoke about the importance of social care, how we have a Cinderella service, and how local councils and healthcare services need to work together to provide a proper safety net. It was a fantastic opportunity to speak to Labour women from all over the country, celebrate how far we’ve come in the last year, and instil a sense of determination for the campaign’s ahead. On the Monday of Labour Party Conference I gave a speech in the International Session, in my capacity as Shadow Foreign Secretary. I set out Labour’s vision for an ethical foreign policy, the need for a revolution of Supporting Northern Irish women values in our outlook towards the world, and the re- establishment of a world based on rules and laws. In an era characterised by the resurgence of isolationist, nationalist leaders, the Labour Party must be as internationalist as ever.

I noted that in the absence of international leadership from the White House, which in this case seemed intent on matching Kim Jong-un’s rhetoric. I asked whether this government intended to ally itself with Chancellor Merkel, who told the German parliament that there can only be a “peaceful and diplomatic solution”, or President Trump, who claimed “talking is not the answer”. I stressed that in this instance any military options should be taken off the table before serious discussions are begun. Speaking at Labour Women’s Conference Standing up for my constituent Shao Jiang Hurricane Irma On the 12th of September I quizzed the government on their response to the devastating Hurricane Irma, which ravaged much of the Caribbean and acutely affected British Overseas Territories. I asked Foreign Office Minister Alan Duncan why the British government has been so slow to fully evacuate British citizens from the Caribbean, in comparison to the French and Dutch governments’ evacuations of their citizens. I also challenged the government on their long term plans to support overseas territories and British citizens abroad, in light of the fact that man made climate change is making these natural disasters increasingly Meeting the mother and sister of Nick Dunn, the frequent and will continue to do so. Chennai 6 prisoner, with Ian Lavery MP, 11th October Iran Nuclear Deal On Monday the 16th of October I asked the government to make a statement on the future of the Iran nuclear deal, in light of President Trump refusing to formally certify the deal. This deal has been successful, and I argued that it is time for this government to stand up to the President, rather than hold his hand and follow his lead. When I initially voiced my fears over the Present’s attitude towards the nuclear deal I was judged “too pessimistic” by the Foreign Secretary. It is now clear that I was right, and whatever influence this government purports to have over the American administration is in Speaking at Labour Friends of India reception reality non-existent. at Labour Party Conference Visit to Scotland On the 14th and 15th of September I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Scotland and meet with many Labour friends, including new MPs elected in June, and the two Scottish leadership candidates. I had the privilege of opening the constituency office of Danielle Rowley MP, the new MP for Midlothian and my Parliamentary Private Secretary. I also took the opportunity to talk to students and party activists with Shadow Scotland Secretary Lesley Laird MP, and meeting passionate community members at Fife Migrant Forum. Visiting Fife Migrants Forum with Lesley Laird MP, 14th September While in Glasgow, I met Scottish Leadership candidates Anas Sarwar and Richard Leonard to discuss how UK and Scottish Labour can work together to regain power across the country. I then went to Rutherglen to campaign for Labour Council by-election candidate Martin Lennon, and hold a street stall in the West End of Glasgow, before finally taking part in a lively debate at Glasgow University Union alongside our new MP for Glasgow North East, Paul Sweeney. I really enjoyed my time in Scotland. It is quite clear to me that Labour has turned a corner and is winning back the support of the public.

  • 1 ANDREW MARR SHOW, 9TH MAY, 2021 – JOHN Mcdonnell and ANAS SARWAR
    1 ANDREW MARR SHOW, 9TH MAY, 2021 – JOHN McDONNELL AND ANAS SARWAR ANDREW MARR SHOW, 9TH MAY, 2021 JOHN McDONNELL, Former Shadow Chancellor And ANAS SARWAR, Leader, Scottish Labour Party (Please check against delivery (uncorrected copies)) AM: Keir Starmer says he takes full responsibility for Labour’s poor performance in the elections in England. But last night, to the fury of many in the party he appears to have sacked Angela Rayner as Party Chair and Election Coordinator. He can’t sack her from her elected position as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, but overnight there have been signs that things are coming apart. Andy Burnham, the Mayor Manchester, tweeted about Angela Rayner, ‘I can’t support this.’ Trouble ahead. I’m going to speak now to John McDonnell, Jeremy Corbyn’s former Shadow Chancellor and to Anas Sarwar, the Labour Party Leader here in Scotland. He lost two seats yesterday but he says the party are now on the right path. John McDonnell, first of all, I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to talk to Angela Rayner. Do you know whether she has been sacked or not? There seems to be some confusion this morning. JM: No, I haven’t spoken to Angie. Let’s be clear, I have no brief for Angie, I didn’t support her as Deputy Leader. I supported Richard Burgon, but when the Leader of the Party on Friday says he takes full responsibility for the election result in Hartlepool in particular, and then scapegoats Angie Rayner, I think many of us feel that was unfair, particularly as we all know actually Keir style of Leadership is that his office controls everything.

Any gift (eg jewellery) or benefit (eg hospitality, services) that you receive, if the gift or benefit in any way relates to or arises from your work in Parliament and its value exceeds £380 in the course of a calendar year.’ In Section 1 of the Register entries are listed alphabetically according to the staff member’s surname.

Administration and Inspection of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards in the House of Commons, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented.
