Debate between Lisa Nandy and Anneliese Midgley

Tuesday 11th November 2025 Commons Chamber

[Lisa Nandy]

I agree with the hon. Member. That is why this Government will also resist recent attacks on the institution itself by Members from across the House. The local democracy reporting service that he talks about is a vital part of our local democracy. It also helps to create the next generation of journalists who might not otherwise have the opportunity to work in journalism and tell the stories that matter so much to all of us across this House.

[Anneliese Midgley (Knowsley) (Lab)]

Robbie Gibb—faithful or traitor?

[Lisa Nandy]

Perhaps I can hear my hon. Friend’s views about that over a few drinks later on.
