Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 October 2025
Debate
Border Security, Asylum and Immigration BillContribution
We need to improve the Bill, but we also need the Government to push back against the scapegoating, which I mentioned earlier—the idea that refugees and immigrants cause all the problems in Britain. That simply is not true. They should be blaming this side of the Chamber, which voted through all that legislation over the past decade and a bit. I would really like this Government to refocus their energy on protecting and welcoming refugees to enable them to quickly get on with rebuilding their lives and contributing within the community as equal citizens, working and paying taxes.
