Boris Johnson
I will resist the temptation to agree with my hon. Friend about any points that might have been made by the Labour party for or against Iran, because our priority now is simple: it is not to score party political points but to get Nazanin home.
Louise Haigh (Sheffield, Heeley) (Lab)

Boris Johnson
The case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is a very difficult consular case, and that is how we are treating it.
