Labour — Bassetlaw

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 January 2025

Debate

Extremism Review

Contribution

In all the commentary overnight on this leaked advice, I was struck by one comment from the shadow Justice Secretary, the right hon. Member for Newark (Robert Jenrick), that was reported on GB News. He said: “Of course violence against women and girls and some of the other issues raised in this report… warrant attention by the police” —“warrant attention”? Is it any wonder that sexual violence was allowed to become endemic under the previous Government and that the best a previous Home Office Minister could say is that it warrants attention?
