Speeches by Jogee.

“Finishing too early is not always a good thing. I start by extending my condolences to my constituent and great friend back home in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Rosi Monkman, whose mother died in County Waterford in the Republic of Ireland yesterday. I pay tribute to her mother, Mrs Morrissey, and to Rosi, her husband, their …”

“The font of this statement is so small that it is super difficult to read, which made it even more difficult for me to look for the word “ceramics”, which I have yet to find. The Secretary of State said in his statement that he wants to “move faster” to support British manufacturing. He has heard from a number of my co…”

“I am grateful to the hon. Member for Boston and Skegness (Richard Tice) for his pithy contribution to the debate—”

“And in mine!”

“Do not do it now!”

“It must be a Northern Irish thing. She often purchases marmalade at one of the excellent shops in Newcastle-under-Lyme. May I congratulate the hon. Lady on an excellent and interesting speech, and on giving voice to the sweet, sweet tastes of Paddington Bear himself?”

“I confess to the House that I prefer English strawberry jam to marmalade, but my wife is an assiduous and loyal orange marmalade fan—”

“The petition states: The petition of residents of the constituency of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Declares that Baldies Field—a green space adjacent to Hoon Avenue and Milehouse Lane—has been used by local people for generations, and is valued by residents as an accessible open space used for walking, recreation and wellbein…”

“It speaks to the challenge of policing by consent. There is almost a double challenge, is there not, of how you tear down those barriers but also allow for normal policing and keeping people safe, which is what people want. Thank you, and thanks for being here today.”

“Good morning, both. Thank you for being here and, through you, thank you to all the PSNI officers who work day in and day out to keep the peace. I know that we will all want that message to be passed back. Forgive me, I have to go after my question and the answer because I have to go and raise a casework issue with the…”

“Mr Sharma, when you started, you said—I paraphrase slightly, because I did not get the beginning of it—that Northern Ireland is a safer place than ever, or something along those lines. You also said that it has some of the lowest figures of ASB, and that there is now a reduced national security threat, which we are all…”

“Just to reassure you, it was not a “gotcha” question. We just wanted to understand. We have met a number of PSNI officers across Northern Ireland. We have seen their tenacity, commitment and hard work, so there was no attempt to try to dilute any of that recognition. It was just to try to tease out the figures and the …”

“No, that is very good. It saves your time.”

“Thank you. Ms Simpson, you helpfully answered my second question.”

“Holy Scripture tells us that we should never walk by on the other side, and I am reassured by the Secretary of State’s statement that she agrees, even if she used other words. She is right to talk about value for money for taxpayers and the values that we hold close as Brits. I particularly welcome the commitment to Ga…”

“We are enjoying my hon. Friend’s speech; she has a number of pages left, and we want to hear all of it. She rightly talks about the potential ban for under-16s. I was at Newcastle academy last week, and a number of young people said that they would feel much safer if such a ban were imposed, so I would like to add my s…”

“On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Today is 17 March, St Patrick’s day. People will be celebrating across the world, something that has been made easier for us this evening because Opposition Members voted for the Government business today. Madam Deputy Speaker, as chair of the Ireland and the Irish in Britain …”

“We all welcome the work being done to get our national health service back on track. What engagement does the Department have with, and what guidance does it provide to, ICBs about what happens when a practice closes or a GP returns their contract in rural communities, like in Betley in Newcastle-under-Lyme? We need to…”

“My hon. Friend from Lichfield in Staffordshire raises an excellent point. I am looking forward to him competing one day in the Commonwealth games when they are held in Lichfield—”

“How could I refuse my hon. Friend from Staffordshire?”
