Standards in Public Life

Proceeding contribution from Angela Rayner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 June 2022. It occurred during Opposition day on Standards in Public Life.

That too is an important point. The opposition to the Prime Minister comes from many different walks of political life—from his own Back Benchers, from some of his predecessors, and, obviously,

from Members on these Benches. This is not really a political issue; it is more about the question of what our democracy stands for. If we do not draw a line in relation to these standards and ensure that we hold to them, the public will have a mistrust of politicians, and that is damaging for everyone, not just Conservative Members.
