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.

The people of Makerfield and Britain deserve the opportunity to vote for a party that is committed to reducing the welfare bill, that champions business and understands the perils of nationalisation.

I have said that we need to find what we have in common, not what separates us.

This has been Badenoch’s mantra for years. As equalities minister in the last Conservative government she oversaw a controversial report on racial disparities which largely downplayed the role of institutional and structural factors.

They think our taxes are their money to spend, rather than the result of the hard work of the people in our country who deserve so much better.

The circumstances around Henry’s wrongful arrest and tragic murder must be a wake-up call to the entire country and our institutions that every life matters, and it is the responsibility of everyone in this House to bring people together…

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.

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.

It is the responsibility of everyone in this house to bring people together, not divide them.

Pat McFadden has said in private what he and the prime minister deny in public.

The welfare secretary [McFadden] said in private what they won't dare say in public. He said 'every meeting I have with Labour MPs is about who we can tax so we can pay more benefits'.

If you want serious change at the next election my advice to you - as it is to everyone who is sick of Starmerism - is to vote Conservative.

I have said that we are going to root out all identity politics from state institutions – from removing diversity requirements from defence procurement to scrapping preferential sentencing for minorities.

For all of those who are putting ourselves up to be prime minister in this country, we should be acting like statesmen and women, not acting like rabble-rousers. We don’t need rage. We need courage and bravery and cool heads, not anger and…

Identity politics divides our country whoever is doing it. The Conservative Party rejects it. We believe in universalism and equality under the law.

If there is one thing that should come from Henry’s death, it is that we make things better, so that this does not happen to any of our boys again. That is what I am committed to. I do not want his death to be in vain.

top-to-bottom reform

Sending five officers to arrest a man for a tweet isn’t policing, it’s politics.

Labour say the number of asylum hotels has halved. What they aren’t saying is all of that cut happened before the general election last year.

The state is bloated, productivity has flatlined and the economy is stuck in first gear.
