Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Shabana Mahmood and Peter Dowd

Monday 15th September 2025 Commons Chamber

[Shabana Mahmood]

On the subject of brass neck, I will have to buy the shadow Home Secretary a mirror, so that he can stare at one. As I said, I will not take any lessons from him or any Conservative. This Government have got removals up to 35,000, got asylum decisions moving again, and struck an historic agreement with France. We are working with our partners in France to get flights off the ground.

[Peter Dowd (Bootle) (Lab)]

T5. Will the Minister give an update on the work of the defending democracy taskforce, please?
