Labour — Birmingham Ladywood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 October 2025

Debate

Manchester Terrorism Attack

Contribution

I agreed with everything the hon. Lady said until she got to restriction on protests. Let me be clear: there is a balance to be struck between these freedoms. I think it is in the wrong place, so I am taking measures to bring it back into balance. I repeat the points I have made about the online environment, which is something I will discuss with colleagues across Government.
