| 09 Jul 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)I hear about all these good things that you are doing. The fact is that the abuse is getting worse and the hate is getting worse. Particularly since the change of ownership with X,… | 52 |
| 09 Jul 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)I am asking you to comment. You have said that you are doing all these different things to make it not happen, but the fact is that it is getting worse. My argument is that whateve… | 64 |
| 09 Jul 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)No, that wasn’t what I asked—sorry. I just asked a very simple question: have you ever taken down anything that Elon Musk has said? | 24 |
| 09 Jul 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)Oh, come on! | 3 |
| 09 Jul 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)Very quickly, have you ever taken down anything that Elon Musk has said? | 13 |
| 09 Jul 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)Wherever the line is! | 4 |
| 04 Jun 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)I can give you a specific example. Recently, where someone’s home was besieged and their young son left the house, someone pretended to be a friend of the MP and so they were helpi… | 96 |
| 04 Jun 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)Yes, but we could argue about how effective or otherwise the IPSO code is. | 14 |
| 04 Jun 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)I do not think it is so much of a problem with broadcasting; it is a lot more of a problem with the written press. | 25 |
| 04 Jun 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)Yes, but in reality it is, isn’t it? It implies that. | 11 |
| 04 Jun 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)I do have some examples, yes, but all I am saying is that if you do not read the story fully, and just read the headline, you can get the view that whether something may or may not… | 50 |
| 04 Jun 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)Quite often, you see a story about somebody, and it will be having a go at them or whatever, and at the bottom it will say, “No rules have been broken”, or something like that. If … | 63 |
| 04 Jun 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)We quite often hear from print journalists about how terrible the abuse MPs get is, but I guarantee we will open a paper tomorrow and there will be a headline that will lead to a l… | 164 |
| 04 Jun 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)But that is not the point, is it? With the greatest of respect, it is all very well quoting the IPSO code. You should not be doing it. | 28 |
| 04 Jun 2025 | Speaker's Conference (2024) — Oral Evidence (HC 570)That is always the defence. | 5 |
