Labour — Hyndburn

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 June 2026

Debate

Legacy of Jo Cox

Contribution

Does my hon. Friend agree that we would be wise to heed the warning of what happened in the run-up to the first world war in Germany? Fundamentally, radio was a new media then, and there was no regulation of it. Where we landed was the first world war. If we do not recognise that history is in many ways repeating itself as we stand here now, we could pay the significant and ultimate consequence for that.
