Relations with russia and the syrian refugee crisis. He also spoke about the uks upcoming referendum about whether to remain in the European Union. This is for the minutes. 40 minutes. Order. Questions to the Prime Minister. Thank you mr. Speaker. I know the whole house was to join me in congratulating Leicester City on winning the premier league title. Having been 5,0001 outsiders at the start of the season, they have shown superb ability, incredible resilience and a great team ethic. This morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in the house, i shall have further such meetings later today. Martyn day may i begin by associating myself with the Prime Ministers comments about Leicester City . On monday, the foreign secretary said, there is a need for a new initiative in the syria dialogue to keep it alive. Will the Prime Minister withdraw his airstrikes, which have done nothing to bring about peace, and will he redouble his efforts in securing political resolution to the war through a new dialogue, as recommended by his own foreign secretary . David cameron i think that we should do both. Which is to continue to hit daesh terrorists because they threaten our country, but at the same time do everything that we can to support dialogue between the opposition and the syrian regime, which is what the process has been about. We will continue to take both those steps. Karl mccartney my right honorable friend will be aware that tomorrow, 33 conservative candidates will stand in the lincoln city elections tomorrow, along with our countys police and crime commissioner candidate, and labour will lose some seats. We in lincoln are aware of the need for tolerance and the stamping out of racism and antisemitism, especially in view of my labour predecessors current role on the board of deputies. Will my right honorable friend join me, and all our colleagues on the side of the house, in condemning the actions and propaganda of hezbollah and hamas . David cameron i certainly wish my honorable friends candidates well. If you want to have wellrun services at a good cost and keep taxes down, it is right for them to vote conservative throughout the country. The point he makes about hamas is important. We should be clear about who they are. They are a terrorist group who believe in killing jews, and that is why whatever the leader of the opposition says about combating antisemitism in the labour party will mean nothing until he withdraws the remark that they were his friends. He needs to do that, and he should do it today. Jeremy corbyn i join the Prime Minister in congratulating Leicester City on their amazing achievement. I hope it is not an indication that he is going to support another football team, rather than sticking with the two that he has already. [laughter] later today, commemorations begin for Holocaust Memorial day in israel. I hope that it is agreed in all parts of the house that we should send our best wishes to those who are commemorating the occasion, and sending a very clear statement that antisemitism has no place in our society whatsoever and we all have a duty to oppose it. Tomorrow people will go to the polls in Council Elections in england. Nine of the 10 most deprived councils are set to see cuts higher than the national average. Eight face cuts more than three times the national average. Meaning less money for . Youth services, for Adult Social Care, and for those in the areas with the greatest need. The Prime Minister used to say, we are all in it together. What happened to that . David cameron first, i join the right honorable gentleman in saying that we should always support Holocaust Memorial day, whether here in the uk, where we have a number of commemorations, or in israel. But i am going to press him on this point, because he did say this, it will be my pleasure and my honour to host an event in parliament where our friends from hezbollah will be speaking. Ive also invited friends from hamas to come and speak as well. Hamas and hezbollah believe in killing jews, not just in israel but around the world. Will he take this opportunity . If he wants to clear up the problem of antisemitism in the labour party, now is a good time to start. Withdraw that they are your friends. Jeremy corbyn i have made it very clear that labour is an antiracist party and that there is no place for antisemitism within it. We have suspended any members who have undertaken any antisemitic activities or work or made such statements, and have established an inquiry led by shami chakrabarti. The point he was making earlier relates to a discussion i was order to try to promote a peace process. It was not an approval of those organisations. I absolutely do not approve of those organisations. The reality is that Vulnerable People are being abandoned in this country. The Prime Minister has said that social care and support for the elderly is a priority for him. If that is the case, why has he cut £4. 5 billion since 2010 from the Adult Social Care budget, leaving 300,000 older people without the care and support they need to live in dignity . David cameron first, we are putting more money into social care and allowing councils to raise council tax to put that money in. To im afraid hes going have to do this one more time. He referred to hamas and hezbollah as his friends. He needs to withdraw that remark. Let me give him another chance are they your friends or are they not . Because those organisations, in their constitutions, believe in persecuting and killing jews. They are antisemitic and racist organisations, and he must stand up and say they are not his friends. Jeremy corbyn obviously, anyone who commits racist attacks or who is antisemitic is not a friend of mine. It is very clear about that. Him to thinkinvite for a moment about the conduct of his party and his candidate in the london mayoral elections. The way in which they are systematically smearing my friend, our candidate for mayor. I wish him well, and i invite the Prime Minister to undertake to ensure that the conservative party in london desists from its present activities in smearing my friend. Last week, the Joseph Rowntree foundations destitution report found that 1. 25 Million People in britain were unable to afford the essentials needed to eat and stay warm, clean and dry. The number of people using food banks has risen again last year. The prime . Minister usually lectures us about a stronger economy. When will that stronger economy mean that fewer people need to use food banks . David cameron what the stronger economy means is that there are over 2 million more people are in work than when i became Prime Minister, and that someone can now earn £11,000 before paying tax. And we have introduced a National Living wage, something never done in 13 years of a Labour Government. But i completely reject what he says about labours candidate for the london mayoralty. As i have said before at the dispatch box, we are not responsible for everything someone says when they share are platform with us, and we cannot control everyone who appears in a picture, but there is a pattern of behaviour with the honorable member for tooting. He shared a platform with sajil shahid, the man who trained the ringleader of the 7 7 attacks and accused the United States of bringing 9 11 on itself. He shared a platform with an extremist who called for jews to be drowned in the ocean. When this was put to the honorable member for tooting, he described it as mere flowery language. If he wants to know why he has a problem with antisemitism, let that is because his candidates share platform after platform with extremists and antisemites and then excuse their words. One more time, say you withdraw the remark about hamas and hezbollah being your friends. Jeremy corbyn last week, the Prime Minister tried, as he friend,es, to smear my the member for tooting for his association with sulaiman ghani. It turns out that mr ghani is actually an active conservative supporter who has shared platforms with the honorable member for richmond. Should reflect on the words of lord lansley some years ago that racism was endemic within his party. We have set up a commission of inquiry. I suggest that he might think about doing the same thing. Lord kerslake, the former Government Housing chief, has said that the housing bill effectively removes the security that people need and that it is fundamentally wrong. Homelessness is up by a third since he became Prime Minister, and it is rising again this year. A voter, malcolm, wrote to me this week to say that he and his family will lose their home if the governments housing bill goes through. Why cant the Prime Minister follow the example set by the welsh Labour Government by placing a legal duty and responsibility on councils to help people during a housing crisis . Why cant he do that . David cameron i will tell the gittleman has done, not in wales where labour is in control but here in england, we have built twice as much Council Housing in the last six years as labour did in the previous 13. But i am not going to let the issue about the right honorable member for tooting rest. The leader of the opposition raised the case of suleiman ghani, whom the right honorable member for tooting shared a platform with nine times. This is a man who says that it is wrong to stop people going to fight in no, as . Long as it takes. Do you want to know the views of the person that your leader has just quoted . He has described women as the honorable member for islington might be interested in this. He described women as subservient to men. He said that homosexuality was an unnatural act. He stood on a platform with people who wanted an islamic state. That is why his attempt to deal with antisemitism are utterly condemned to failure. He wont even condemn people who sit on platforms with people like that. Jeremy corbyn i did point out to the Prime Minister i was trying to help him that the gentleman concerned is actually a conservative. So maybe he would care to think about that. He might also consider that shazia awan, a former conservative parliamentary candidate said this of the tory Mayoral Campaign ill be voting labour. A lifelong tory voter and excandidate, im ashamed at the repulsive campaign of hate. In fact, homelessness has been reduced by 67 in wales since the new regulations came in. Why cant you do the same in this country . Inequality is getting worse. Education ought to be a route out of poverty, but new figures show that the number of people participating on a level 2 Adult Education course in the first half of this year fell by a fifth compared with last year. How can we tackle inequality when the Prime Minister and his government are taking away the opportunities for people to find a pathway out of poverty . David cameron he talks about inequality, but inequality has gone down under this government. There are 764,000 fewer workless households and 449,000 fewer children living in workless households. Why . Because we have a growing economy, a living wage, more jobs and people paying less tax. That is what is happening under this government. Once again i say to him that we are investing in schools to give people opportunities and in schemes to allow people to own homes to give them opportunities. He opposes all those things because the truth is this. He may be a friend of the terrorist group hamas but he is an enemy of aspiration. Jeremy corbyn politics is about choices. The Prime Minister cut mr. Speaker order. Let me very gently say to the assiduous but slightly overenthusiastic government whip, the honorable member for hexham, that his role is to be seen and not heard. No further noise from the honorable gentleman today or from his sidekick to his right. A cabal of whips will not shout people down in this chamber. Be quiet or leave. It is very simple. Jeremy corbyn the Prime Ministers Government Cut income tax for the richest, cut Capital Gains tax, and cut Corporation Tax again and again. At every turn, they make the wrong choices. Tomorrow, people can make their own choices about the crisis of social care, the housing crisis in this country, the unprecedented cuts to local councils in the areas of greatest need, and the cuts to further education, taking opportunities away from young people. The choices have been made. They cut taxes for the rich. We want to ensure that there is proper taxation to ensure that there are Decent Services for the rest. David cameron he is right, tomorrow is about choices. People can choose a party that is on the side of security for hardworking people and that wants to ensure that there are more jobs, better pay, lower taxes, good schools for their children, and a sevenday nhs that is there for them when they need it. Their other choice is to back a party that puts extremists over working people and that is utterly incapable of providing the leadership that their local council or our country needs. Mary robinson does my right honorable friend agree that in order to create a Northern Powerhouse that can produce innovation and prosperity, investment is needed in vital transport links in our northern cities . Of particular concern to my constituents is the junction of the a34 and the a560 at gatley. Will the Prime Minister and his ministers meet me to discuss how we can keep traffic moving into and out of the great city of manchester and alleviate congestion in my constituency of cheadle . David cameron my honorable friend is absolutely right to raise this. That is why we established transport for the north to look exactly at schemes such as the one that she proposes, so that we can speak with one voice. We are also investing £13 billion in transport across the north over this parliament. Planning for the next road Investment Strategy for after 2020 is also now under way, so it is absolutely the right time to make the point that she does. Angus robertson last week, the Prime Minister took issue when i raise the issue of unaccompanied syrian refugee children in europe and the kindertransports of the 1930s. Since then, he has been written to by sir erich reich, the chairman of the association of kindred transport of a jewish refugees. He wrote, the echoes of the past haunt many of my fellow kinder and i whose fate similarly rested with members of the british parliament. I feel it is incumbent on us to once again demonstrate our compassion and human kindness to provide sanctuary to those in need. Why has it taken so long, and the threat of a parliamentary defeat, for the Prime Minister to begin changing his mind . David cameron first, let me pay tribute to the gentleman mentioned by the right honorable gentleman. Let us be clear that no country has done more than britain to help when it comes to syrian refugees. No country has raised more money, and only the United States has spent more money. Do want us to proceed with as much support from across the house as we can. I think it is right to stick to the principle that we shouldnt be encouraging people to make this dangerous journey. I think it is right to stick to the idea that we keep investing in the refugee camps and in neighbouring countries. I also think it is right not to take part in the eu relocation and resettlement schemes, which have been, in my view, a failure. . We are already taking Child Migrants in europe with a direct Family Connection to the uk, and will speed that up. I am also talking to save the children to see what more we can do, particularly with children who came here before the euturkey deal was signed, because as i say again, what i dont want us to do is to encourage people to make this dangerous journey. Otherwise, our actions, however wellmeaning they will be, could result in more people dying, rather than more people getting a good life. Angus robertson last week, i accused the Prime Minister of walking by on the other side when he stoutly defended his then policy, opposing further help for unaccompanied refugee children in europe. If what we are hearing now is the beginnings of a uturn, i very much welcome it, as i am sure did members from all sides of the house. May i encourage him to think more about what can be done, given that the kindertransport helped 10,000 children from europe . So i ask the Prime Minister finally to thank lord alf dubs and all campaigners who have worked so ha
