Speeches by Reid.

“Did you have any discussions at any point that recognised that there were councillors—some of your councillors—who were campaigning publicly to not just ban away fans but stop the match in its entirety? Did that at any point come to you as leader of the council?”

“West Midlands police is by no means the only perpetrator of such an approach or crime, as I would not very appropriately say, but I find it hard to believe that this approach would have been taken had it been any other minority group, and it is really important that all public bodies and institutions reflect on that.”

“Have you read the minutes?”

“So it is incorrect to say that you consulted and met with various mosques, including ones with a history of antisemitism and extremism. That is not the case.”

“It was not in this case, was it?”

“I rise to present a petition in the same terms as the hon. Member for Reigate (Rebecca Paul). It is a petition calling for stronger action on online pornography, which fuels violence against women and girls. As we approach the end of the United Nations’ 16 days of activism, we are reminded of just how pervasive online …”

“I could not agree more. More than that, the SNP needs to deliver on promise after promise that it has made about the NHS while absolutely failing to deliver any improvements, despite the fact that Scotland has been given a record settlement. The money is out there, but under the tired and wired SNP, the ideas to use it…”

“Nobody is more pessimistic about Scotland’s future than the SNP. John Swinney has been working extremely hard the past couple of days to ensure that no inappropriate celebrations are held. One of his complaints, covered in the press today, is that Labour is cutting energy bills by only £150, with that doubling for the …”

“Since my election I have met with many employers, both local and national, which have expressed—to put it in parliamentary terms—frustration at the SNP’s no-nuclear policy. This is stopping my constituents from getting access to high-quality jobs and it is preventing investment. Does the Secretary of State agree that t…”

“You don’t think it is because there are gaps in the data? You think it is that the data collection is not being communicated and shared for maybe issues of national security or whatever?”

“I will turn now to identifying and intervening on extremism behaviour, particularly with young people. What do you think are the most effective strategies for identifying signs of extremist behaviour or radicalisation? I suppose that is on the spectrum of early intervention but also moving up towards the Prevent indica…”

“Do you think there are sufficient ways of triggering that process or teachers being able to identify concerns without going down the adversarial official route?”

“Is there not a fundamental difference between counter-terrorism and extremism? Do you think that our interventions are too focused on extremism or looked at through the lens of counter-terrorism? In the absence of an extremist strategy from the Government, is there a case or an argument for widening out and recognising…”

“You think there should be a counter extremism strategy that is led by Government?”

“That is quite young.”

“On moving on the route of safeguarding to counter extremism, are there identifiable patterns on how young people move from what you said was typical teenage behaviour or curiosity into something more sinister and dangerous?”

“I want to move on to children’s access to the internet and unfettered access to social media. You mentioned that some algorithms are particularly risky for those with certain psychological problems. Do you think that what is now a complete free-for-all in children having access to the internet has increased the referra…”

“How do you think children can be best supported to navigate the internet safely? Do you think the Online Safety Act—given that may be too left field—is sufficient in protecting children from extremism?”

“I appreciate your point about causation, but you have both acknowledged that children have more access to extremist content than ever before. Do you think there is a case to limit children’s access to the online world and to social media in particular?”

“To follow up on some of the stuff that has been mentioned already, do you think there is sufficient publicly available data for people outside of government agencies to understand what is happening in communities? Do you think the data is robust and comprehensive enough for us to be able to tackle extremism, either to …”
