YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Rishi Sunak claims the Conservatives are “the party of fairness" during a PMQs debate on migration policy.

Keir Starmer opened PMQs by claiming that, if Rishi Sunak was “serious on stopping the boats, he'd steal our plan". This comes after the government announced its plans to prevent people who arrive in the UK illegally from accessing protections within "the modern slavery system."

Stephen Flynn described this plan as an “utter disgrace”, arguing that it would lead to "women who are the victims of sex trafficking not being protected under our modern slavery laws”.
