REDMAYNE: NO CASE FOR NO CONFIDENCE

WESTMINSTER - Sir Daniel Redmayne, the Minister without Portfolio and Chairman of the Conservative Party, spoke today in the House of Commons as part of the debate on the motion of no-confidence proposed by Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn. Sir Daniel spoke in opposition to Corbyn’s motion, arguing that it was a “stunningly shameless piece of political opportunism” and that a general election at this time would distract from the important task of negotiations about the future relationship with the European Union.

Sir Daniel also spoke enthusiastically to champion the Conservative government’s record since 2010 by highlighting its “solid record of success” in turning the United Kingdom around from the crisis it inherited from Labour in 2010. Sir Daniel noted government achievements in reducing unemployment and taxation, helping people with the cost of living and protecting the environment. Of particular note, Sir Daniel said he was “proud that we’ve delivered the biggest cash boost in history for our NHS, meaning that we’ll see an additional £20 billion per year until the end of 2024.”

Sir Daniel concluded his remarks by saying that Jeremy Corbyn and Labour MPs “have failed to make a decent case for themselves, their party and for a general election at all.”

This role has great responsibility for our national wellbeing and in enacting policies that will benefit all people from their early life chances through to their retirement.”
