Olivia Bailey

Labour — Reading West and Mid Berkshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 June 2026

Debate

Pride Month

Contribution

Sorry—in Harlow. I missed my chance there. I want to say very clearly from this Dispatch Box that I recognise the community’s fear and anxiety. When public debate becomes toxic, that has consequences in people’s everyday lives—in schools, in workplaces and online. It has consequences for accessing services, and for whether people feel safe simply being themselves— and those consequences all too often manifest in violence and hate.
