    Counter point is that parliament is the centre of our democracy, and nobody should be forced to refrain from expressing their views just because someone is present (they weren't at the time). And wasn't Starmer the one weaponising a point to shut down a debate?

    Can't stand Sunak, or this government, but it seemed cheap from Starmer.

    The mother was in the building on the way to the gallery and was specifically mentioned in the question that Sunak answered. Anyone with any decency would have heard the question, and skipped that part of the "answer". But Sunak was just reading his prepared script.

    That's quite the take.

    exactly, too full of himself when in full flow to think at the same time, mind that sort of comment should never have been in there to start with!

    No surprise to see Sunak disgracing himself again.

    Not sure how Starmer can pretend he gives a damn considering he’s done nothing about Rosie Duffield.

    Basically both can be true. Sunak’s a disgrace but Starmer is also just using it as an opportunity to point score rather than actually caring about transphobia.

    Starmer pretending he is on the side of trans people is equally vile.

    Get Suella back then and get her to stand at the front and tell everyone why refugees are the devil.

    In fact why aren't we allowing fascists into the mix? Get some Hitler wannabes in so they can tell us how sub-human the Jewish community is.

    Awful, awful take im afraid. Just because you hold that opinion that some people aren't as valuable or worthy in your eyes doesn't mean you should be allowed to express that opinion on a main stage in front of a grieving mother directly affected by this same views.

    To quote Ian Hislop, I thought we were scraping the barrel in 2022 with Liz Truss but Sunak seems determined to plumb new depths.

    Get ready for the vilest election campaign living memory.
