Ms Diane Abbott

Labour — Hackney North and Stoke Newington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 February 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

The Home Secretary will accept that this is a difficult time to speak up for a fair and ethical immigration policy, with the tide of far-right politics sweeping Europe, and maybe even lapping the shores of this country. Does she accept, however, that she is in danger of sounding like she is trying to stigmatise desperate migrants, rather than build a fair system?
