Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 July 2025

Debate

UK-France Migration: Co-operation

Contribution

Certainly, the hon. Member for Clacton has been travelling around the world, and sadly he is once again not here in Parliament when we are discussing these issues. If Reform Members are serious about taking action against the criminal gangs, why on earth did they vote against the counter-terrorism powers to go after them in the first place? Sadly, their one in, one out approach seems to simply be about their parliamentary party.
