And do it now. Don't wait until it is too late.

We can say: well, we're simply going to stop or restrict issuing visas to people from Pakistan to come here.

This is the end of my political journey.

In six years, we went from historic defeat in 2019 to historic victory in 2024, and in two years in government I leave the country in better shape than I found it.

I’m proud of everything that we have achieved.

To all those in the gallery, whose lives have been changed or improved by this Labour government, and all across the country who struggle to be seen or heard, you’re the reason I came into politics.

Nothing in this motion changes that. This is not about encouraging drug use or normalising addiction.

If this motion helps one more person into treatment, prevents one more overdose, reduces crime on our streets and spares one more family from unimaginable loss, then it is worth doing.

This will be my last answer from this dispatch box.

We did pull the levers.

We pulled the levers to stabilise the economy, and we’ve stabilised the economy.

We pulled the levers to strengthen our public services, and NHS waiting lists are coming down at the fastest rate for 17 years.

We pulled a big lever on child poverty, and this government will be doing more on child poverty than any government ever, including previous Labour governments.

We put the biggest investment into defence and security, and our international standing has been restored.

I know that Reform believe in recycling politicians.

Whether I would have then said: ‘Well, I think we’d better wait until the investigation is done before we have the meeting’ – I think that would be a judgment we would have taken at the time.

I do actually think we’re encouraging innovation, so I think we are doing the right thing there.

We do have a responsibility as a public authority to be open to the leaders of parties in the Westminster system. I think that’s fine. I think we must do that.
