Labour (Co-op) — Cardiff South and Penarth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 September 2025

Debate

Ambassador to the United States

Contribution

Perhaps the Leader of the Opposition was not in her seat at the start of the debate, because I made very clear our position on Epstein’s victims and our horror at the revelations, and said that all our thoughts are with them. I did that in sincerity in response to the points that have been made across this House, and I say that again. However, she could not answer my question. She did not raise this issue before last Wednesday. If it was all so obvious, why did not she do that?
