Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 October 2025

Debate

Manchester Terrorism Attack

Contribution

I commend my right hon. Friend for her statement and also for her prompt response, which I know was appreciated by people in Manchester on the very day. I believe that people should be able to pursue all religions, or none, without intimidation or fear of being attacked. I also believe in freedom of speech and the freedom to protest, but does my right hon. Friend agree that people cannot use that right to promote hate and promote violence against those with any other religions or beliefs? Does she agree that we need to keep that under review to ensure that we do not allow such people to continue to promote these messages of hate?
