Downing Street Parties: Police Investigation

Andy McDonald Excerpts

Tuesday 25th January 2022 Commons Chamber

[Andy McDonald (Middlesbrough) (Lab)]

My Middlesbrough constituents have obeyed the rules, done exactly what the Prime Minister demanded of them and abided by the laws that he initiated. Does the Paymaster General not understand that the continued refusal to do the right and decent thing only serves to damage our democracy and tarnish our reputation across the world? That will not be turned around until such time as the Prime Minister goes and brings this shameful business to an end.

[Michael Ellis]

No, I do not agree with the hon. Gentleman’s characterisation.
