Deirdre Costigan

Labour — Ealing Southall

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 October 2026

Debate

Rejoining the EU

Contribution

Many of my constituents voted to leave the EU because they were bombarded with lies, from the mythical £350 million a week for the NHS that never appeared to the lie that immigration would come down when it actually trebled. Does my hon. and learned Friend agree that the Prime Minister’s announcement of the new national centre for information defence will help protect our constituents from foreign state influence as we consider our relationship with the EU again?
