Speeches by Thomas.

“I have one in mind, if I can voice that.”

“To be inclusive, it has to incorporate socioeconomic groups as well.”

“Thank you. Alex Ballinger and Dr Beccy Cooper made representations.”

“The hon. Gentleman is right that the world should know and be in no doubt about the UK’s position on Ukraine, and nor should we be in doubt about Putin’s ambitions. He described as a geopolitical catastrophe the falling apart of the Soviet Union, and Russia’s 800-year most modern history is one of almost relentless exp…”

“Whatever statements have been made publicly, the unredacted plans for this super-embassy will fill our security services with dread, as well they should. The Chinese Communist party is not a friend to the United Kingdom, and nowhere is that more evident than in its consistent espionage—including on this very estate—and…”

“Dr Taylor, would you like to close?”

“Perhaps on the basis of how reliable that source is expected to be.”

“You have mentioned the physical contact—the experience of experiencing something together. Is there anything else that my daughter or other young children are looking for from that shared experience?”

“Professor Orben, do you have anything to add?”

“As a father, I feel constantly embattled trying to stop my daughter asking me to put the iPad on, where she watches all sorts of mind-numbing tosh, but I do quite enjoy watching stuff on iPlayer. She does watch “Bing”. She likes “Bluey” as well, and I quite enjoy that. She quite regularly has to ask me to stop crying. …”

“Good morning, Mr Speaker. In the early days after the election, I did not always cover myself in glory with the type of language I used to describe the state of GWR services between Paddington and Gloucestershire. Nevertheless, a year down the line, I still regularly have to stand in a corridor or aisle for hours on en…”

“5. What steps she is taking to improve railway services for passengers.”

“Ahead of the election in Tewkesbury, considering my defence background, I recognised that I did not fully understand the experiences nor the lifestyles that come with rurality, so I began reaching out. I made visits; I spoke with people, listened to them and heard them. If someone wants to represent people or is likely…”
