Debate between Lord Strasburger and Baroness Noakes

Thursday 4th April 2019 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Noakes]

Benches opposite may laugh, but that is highly disrespectful to a Prime Minister who has worked extremely hard on this. The Prime Minister can be criticised for many things—

[Lord Strasburger (LD)]

I remind the House that this is the Prime Minister who told the nation seven times that she was not going to call a snap election—and the eighth time, she said she was.

[Baroness Noakes]

I am not entirely uncritical of the Prime Minister, and in particular of her handling of Brexit. Anybody who has heard me speak before will know that.
