Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary. They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them. They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change. They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that. We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change. Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together. Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for. I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy. That is my focus now.

This is @KemiBadenoch’s chamber, you’re just sitting in it.

The ECHR is not just a problem for controlling our border. And two tier treatment is not just an issue in crime and policing. Both are making our planning system totally unfair, and enabling illegal Traveller sites. We will bring in, and enforce, one set of rules for everyone.

Last September, Keir Starmer told Parliament three times that “full due process” was followed over the appointment of Lord Mandelson. We now know the Prime Minister misled the House. The Prime Minister must take responsibility.

This is what happens when a politician has no clue what they're doing. Rachel Reeves has got no one to blame but herself.
