Speeches by Slinger.

“In your paper, you said that in July you raised the social media referral threshold to “actionable material” and threats only, yet 20% of the referrals were still not actioned. Witnesses on the previous panel alluded to that. Is it because of the behaviour of the social media platforms, are some worse than others and a…”

“The Parliamentary Security Department has told us that more should be done to reduce the threats. What are the police doing to help reduce threats against MPs? In your opinion, is it working? What are the problems with threat reduction?”

“The effect of the security measures at home is on the family as well. I am very grateful for them, they are great, but one of the things that should be considered is more understanding in advance of just how many visits will be needed and how much time. I had to be there for that, and it was very difficult to make that…”

“Q4. With one in eight young people across the country not in education, employment or training, people in Rugby are worried about a wasted generation. Too many people with disabilities and health conditions are not getting the help they need to get into work, so will the Prime Minister set out how this Government will …”

“I welcome the Minister’s statement. I am confident that he will agree that this House, the Government and the country bear no animosity towards the Iranian people, and that it is the actions of the Iranian state that we are deeply concerned about and taking action on. In that regard, will he give me more detail on the …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Jeremy. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Southend East and Rochford (Mr Alaba) on securing this important debate. I represent the town of Rugby, which has perhaps the ultimate origin story in a sport that carries our name across the globe, but our great to…”

“I know that the list of areas is the one the Minister inherited. He gave a truly brilliant statement, which spoke of a stronger community, of pride in place and of the need for thriving communities. I pay tribute to the Minister for visiting Rugby, where he did a walk-around and held a roundtable with me, and saw that …”

“At the weekend, a Ukrainian constituent said to me: “As the bombs fell on my city last night, one thing remains unchanged: no one here wants a peace built on surrender or at the cost of dignity. So to those who stand with us—not just in words, but in truth—thank you.” Does the Prime Minister agree that strong diplomacy…”

“9. What steps she is taking to build more social housing.”

“I thank my hon. Friend for his answer. What measures will his Department consider to support councils that find themselves in viability negotiations with developers, who sometimes push down the quota of social homes and, indeed, affordable homes?”

“In the short period of time I have, I will say this: we face a critical moment for our nation, for Europe and for the world. Now is the time to uphold our values and to encourage our allies to do the same. That means concrete steps here and now to protect and defend Ukraine, as well as lasting agreements to ensure its …”

“Will the Leader of the House join me in paying tribute to the emergency services crews from Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service, Warwickshire police and West Midlands Ambulance Service, who this week attended a tragic and fatal fire in my constituency? Public servants such as these rush towards their fellow citizens i…”

“Does my hon. Friend the Minister agree that it is somewhat unfortunate that, after some consensus in the Prime Minister’s statement yesterday on matters of national security, we are now seeing, sadly, Opposition Members reverting to type by flirting with populism on important issues?”

“Does my hon. Friend recall that the Conservative party back in the 1990s under the previous Labour Government vociferously opposed the introduction of a national minimum wage, and might he reflect on that?”

“I completely agree that we need more civility in our politics, and I commend the work that you have done at the Jo Cox Foundation, but I also think that the public have a responsibility. That responsibility includes not libelling people and thinking you can get away with it, because the effect on whether people want to…”

“Regarding the social media world, do you have any thoughts on statements and comments made underneath posts that are potentially libelous or defamatory, which I think many of my colleagues will have experienced? I know that there may be some coverage under the Online Safety Act, but I have a deep concern that if the on…”
