Easter Recess: Government Update

Tonia Antoniazzi Excerpts

Tuesday 19th April 2022 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

I thank my right hon. Friend very much for what he has said. I just want to say one important thing: it is very important in this Ukrainian crisis that we do not make it an objective to remove the Russian leader or to change politics in Russia. This is about protecting the people of Ukraine, which is what we are doing. Putin will try to frame it as a struggle between him and the west, but we cannot accept that. This is about his brutal attack on the people of Ukraine.

[Tonia Antoniazzi (Gower) (Lab)]

Here we are again, talking about the Prime Minister and his misdemeanours. It is frustrating for all of us on both sides of the House that we still have to be here, but the Prime Minister has led us on this merry dance—nobody else. After all the apologies today, Prime Minister, please resign, because we have had enough. The country deserves better.

[The Prime Minister]

If the hon. Lady will forgive me, I must respectfully direct her to what I have already said.
