Sir Lindsay Hoyle

Speaker — Chorley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 October 2026

Debate

Topical Questions

Contribution

Debate is very important in this House, but how we treat each other matters. We should think about the language and the words we choose. In the end—this is what worries me—how we treat each other in here is replicated, as has been shown in the number of tweets that followed. It has been raised and I am sure that everybody can learn from what has happened. Please, I hope that we will consider what we say to each other and the tone we use.
