Simon Hoare – 2021 Comments on Trump Supporters Attacking the Capitol Building
The comments made by Simon Hoare, the Conservative MP for North Dorset, on 7 January 2021.
Yesterday proved Trump is a cult (yes, I’ve checked spelling). He’s tried to drag America’s reputation to below the sewers. He’s created domestic terrorists to mount a coup d’etat. He and his disciples should be treated as such by Homeland Security. GOP must deal with these rogues.

As I dual US and UK national I cannot believe I’m now saying this but Donald Trump is now a threat to America. Undermining democracy, inciting violence, fuelling decision and damaging what the nation stands for and believes in.
Why say this? He has 2 weeks left & will not go quietly. -

Joe Biden – 2021 Comments on Trump Supporters Attacking the Capitol Building
The comments made by Joe Biden, the US President-Elect, on 6 January 2021.
Let me be very clear: the scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not represent who we are. What we are seeing is a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent, it’s disorder. It borders on sedition, and it must end. Now.

Ben Wallace – 2020 Comments on Afghan Staff Being Allowed to Stay in UK
The comments made by Ben Wallace, the Secretary of State for Defence, on 29 December 2020.
Nobody’s life should be put at risk because they supported the UK Government to bring peace and stability to Afghanistan.
As the situation in the region evolves, it is only right we do more to protect local citizens who stood shoulder to shoulder with our armed forces.
As a former soldier I know the bond between the brothers who fight by our side. These Afghans stood by us and risked their lives to make a better country. We owe them a debt and I am proud that the Home Secretary and I can finally close this chapter and thank them for their service.

Dominic Raab – 2020 Statement on the Arrest of the Shenzhen 12
The statement made by Dominic Raab, the Foreign Secretary, on 28 December 2020.
We are deeply concerned that members of the Shenzhen 12 were tried in secret today, having been given just three days’ notice of their trial. Diplomats from Britain and a number of other countries, tried to attend the court proceedings but were denied entry.
The Shenzhen 12 have not had access to lawyers of their choosing, raising further serious questions about access to legal counsel in Mainland China. We expect China to uphold the rule of law and conduct trials in a fair and transparent manner, consistent with the basic requirements of international human rights law.
