Mrs Kemi Badenoch

Conservative — North West Essex

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2026

Debate

Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation

Contribution

Look at them, Madam Deputy Speaker. If war comes, do we want this lot running the country—people so unserious that they do not understand that you cannot have social security without national security? If we cannot defend our country, there will be nothing left to defend. To be honest, I do not blame the Housing Secretary for stocking up on sauvignon blanc. If Russia attacks with these guys in charge, we will all need a drink.
