Speeches by Whittome.

“I just wanted to pick up on something you said about how the majority would perhaps not consider themselves to be anti-immigration. It might be the case that the majority do not consider themselves to be far right, but on a march that is explicitly anti-immigration, do you not think that people would define themselves …”

“I will be as quick as possible. My first questions are to Misbah and secondly, to Sunder. You are off the hook, Peter. Misbah, what impact do you think rhetoric from politicians and public figures has had on the debate on immigration? Has this rhetoric got worse, in your view, in the last year?”

“That was a very detailed and succint answer, thank you. We have spoken about Reform and the Conservatives, do you also have concerns about some rhetoric that the Government have been using? For example, the, “island of strangers” comments.”

“I just have a final question for you. While I remember, I should declare that I have worked with HOPE not hate, like everyone else has, and I was the vice chair of the APPG in the last Parliament. Misbah, how do you believe politicians should speak about integration and immigration? What do you think the parameters of …”

“The increase in abuse.”

“On that, can you say a bit more about what you think the factors are that are driving it?”

“To what extent do you believe the abuse directed at some women athletes is also driven by other forms of discrimination, such as racism, homophobia and transphobia? I am thinking particularly about examples of the horrific abuse that was directed towards England defender Jess Carter, as you mentioned, Fern, in the 2025…”

“I have a few questions, first starting with Fern and Olly. To what extent is the abuse of women athletes getting worse, and what do you think are the factors driving that?”

“I just have one final question, and this is to Fern and Tanni. To what extent do you agree with a recent study’s conclusion that sports organisations are shirking their duty of care to protect women players from harassment?”

“Over two weeks into the ceasefire in Gaza, Israeli forces are still killing Palestinians. Many are being shot at as they attempt to return to their homes near a yellow line marked by Israel—a line that Israeli media are increasingly calling a new border. What will the Government do to ensure that this supposedly tempor…”

“15. What steps she is taking to help secure a just and lasting peace in Gaza.”

“The UK’s homelessness crisis has been decades in the making. Thanks to Thatcher selling off social housing, a large proportion of our country is now at the mercy of private landlords—like those in my constituency who issued section 21 notices to three buildings on Mansfield Road, putting dozens at risk of homelessness.…”

“I very much welcome the Prime Minister’s statement today. After two years of relentless genocide committed by Israel, killing many tens of thousands of innocent people, a ceasefire is an historic and hopeful moment, even though it took far too long to achieve. Watching released Palestinians and Israelis reunite with th…”

“I do not know how many doors I have knocked on in my 12 years as a Labour member, but I do know that not a single person has ever told me that what they really need to improve their lives, their community and the country is mandatory digital ID. It will not tackle irregular working, it would undermine civil liberties, …”

“I start by thanking Members for bringing this important debate and thanking those who have spoken so bravely about their own experiences of loss and harm. No matter how a baby dies or a wanted pregnancy ends, it is always deeply painful and traumatic for bereaved families, but their suffering is particularly exacerbate…”

“I rise to support my new clause 10, as well as a number of other amendments tabled by my right hon. and hon. Friends, including new clause 8, new clause 11 and amendment 38. I welcome the concessions that the Government have made to the Bill, which I will be supporting. I pay tribute to the disabled and chronically ill…”

“I wonder whether the shadow Minister realises that according to the DWP’s own statistics the PIP fraud rate is 0.2%. I do not want him to feel like a mug.”

“I want to make it clear to Members that the order we are voting on is not about whether we support Palestine Action’s political positions or protest methods. To vote against this motion, Members do not have to agree with the group at all; they can still support holding it criminally liable for its actions. The question…”

“I agree entirely with the hon. Member. UN experts urge us not to do this. They state that they are “concerned at the unjustified labelling of a political protest movement as ‘terrorist’”. Hundreds of lawyers have written to the Home Secretary, warning that proscribing Palestine Action would conflate protest and terrori…”

“It’s because you were in power for 14 years.”
