Shabana Mahmood

Labour — Birmingham Ladywood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 October 2026

Debate

EU Pact on Migration and Asylum

Contribution

Honestly, what absolute piffle from the hon. Gentleman. He will know that the Prime Minister has been discussing having an open debate; that is not the same as settled policy, as the hon. Gentleman is well aware. The Prime Minister has also observed that there were very significant issues with freedom of movement when we were in the EU. Having an honest debate means actually being honest about all aspects of the issue, not cherry-picking, as the Liberal Democrats so often do.
