Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 January 2026
Debate
Crime and Policing BillContribution
These are very difficult issues. On the one hand, there is a genuine free speech issue. I think I understand where my noble friend and the noble Baroness, Lady Jones, are coming from. On the other hand, we have to think more and more about a darkening context, which those in this Chamber from Northern Ireland have experienced in Northern Ireland and many of us are fearful of seeing here. We are now in very difficult territory, which is why I signed the amendment from the noble Baroness, Lady Foster.
