Labour (Co-op) — Wakefield and Rothwell

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2026

Debate

Railways Bill (Carry-over Extension)

Contribution

What a truly bizarre performance by the shadow Secretary of State. I hope that it makes more sense with subtitles. He should not give up his day job, because he would make an absolutely lousy comedian. The Railways Bill puts passengers back at the heart of our railway by establishing Great British Railways, and provides the framework to ensure a robust, high-quality offer for passengers, including disabled passengers, and to instil confidence in our railways and attract more people to use them. Question put.
