Policing (England and Wales)

Debate between Richard Drax and Alex Cunningham

Monday 24th February 2020 Commons Chamber

[Richard Drax (South Dorset) (Con)]

It is a pleasure to speak in this debate. Just before I start, may I remind the Opposition that we are in this plight because of the spendthrift ways with which they ruined our country?

[Alex Cunningham]

You’ve had 10 years, man. Ten years.

[Richard Drax]

Ten years is how long it was predicted to take to get this country back. I know the Opposition do not like to hear it, but that is the truth of the matter. [Interruption.] Yes, there was a banking crisis too, but the people of this country do not forget the spendthrift ways of the Opposition.
