Iran

Debate between Fred Thomas and Nusrat Ghani

Tuesday 13th January 2026 Commons Chamber

[Fred Thomas (Plymouth Moor View) (Lab)]

Reform Members should note that the Iranian regime, which they have decided to be against, very much supports their Russian friends with the Shahed drone.

I welcome the news that we are working with allies to discuss using Starlink to overcome some of the communication barriers. The British-Iranian community are trying to donate to people back in Iran, but they cannot do so because of sanctions. Can you assure me and the House that you are looking at the specific issue of how the British-Iranian community can donate back to Iran?

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Mr Thomas, you used the word “you” twice. I am not here to respond to your questions.
