Jess Phillips – 2021 Comments about Boris Johnson’s Jabber Comments

The comments made by Jess Phillips, the Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding, on 23 June 2021.

For the Prime Minister to describe questions about rape convictions as ‘jabber’ is disgraceful. But this is the man who once said investigating child sexual abuse was ‘spaffing money up the wall’ – he simply doesn’t care about tackling sexual violence. He should apologise for his comments and his government’s appalling record.
