    Lee Anderson – 2022 Controversial Comments about Eddie Izzard

    The comments made by Lee Anderson, the Conservative MP for Ashfield, on Talk TV on 26 October 2022.

    I don’t know where Labour are standing with their all-women short-list, I thought they’d scrapped it as they have got I think 51% of their MPs now in Parliament are females. Now, if Eddie Izzard gets elected, I don’t know whether that increases or decreases the percentage because I’m not sure what he’s all about, Keir Starmer’s not sure what he’s all about.

    You know what, the old traditional working-class Labour voters will take a look at Eddie Izzard and think, you know, really, is that what’s coming to Parliament? I think it opens a whole new debate, mate. I’m going to be honest now, controversial as always, if he does get elected and I’m still here, I shouldn’t be following him into the toilets.

    Sajid Javid – 2022 Comments on Trevor Noah

    The comments made by Sajid Javid, the Conservative MP for Bromsgrove, on Twitter on 27 October 2022.

    Simply wrong. A narrative catered to his audience, at a cost of being completely detached from reality.

    Britain is the most successful multiracial democracy on earth and proud of this historic achievement.

    Angela Eagle – 2022 Speech on the Personal Conduct of Suella Braverman

    The speech made by Angela Eagle, the Labour MP for Wallasey, in the House of Commons on 26 October 2022.

    It seems to me that the ministerial code has been honoured more in the breach than in the observance in this last period of multiple Governments and the clown show that we have seen operating on the Government Benches. The Minister says that the new Prime Minister is going to appoint an independent adviser on the ministerial code. Can he give this House an assurance that when that appointment is made—we expect it to be soon—there will be a proper investigation into the behaviour of the Home Secretary in her last iteration, before she had her six days off?

    Jeremy Quin

    I reaffirm the point I made that the Prime Minister is keen to appoint an independent adviser, but I have to say that events in the last Administration would not be properly part of the remit of the new independent adviser. That matter was dealt with under the previous Administration. We have a new Administration and the Home Secretary has been appointed to her post.

    Anneliese Dodds – 2022 Comments on Male Bias in Cabinet

    The comments made by Anneliese Dodds, the Chair of the Labour Party, on 25 October 2022.

    Just one in five of the ministers around Rishi Sunak’s Cabinet table are women.

    I know the Conservatives struggle to add up, but women make up half the population.

    This isn’t a fresh start, it’s just jobs for the boys.

    Sajid Javid – 2022 Comments on Onlyfans

    The comments made by Sajid Javid, the Conservative MP for Bromsgrove, on 27 October 2022.

    This is deeply concerning. OnlyFans needs to demonstrate that it is doing absolutely everything possible to block child abuse content, and pro-actively working with law enforcement agencies.

    It has been a privilege to serve as the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and I would like to thank all of the brilliant staff at the Department for Work and Pensions for their dedication to helping people into work and protecting the most vulnerable.

    I look forward to supporting Rishi Sunak from the backbenches and continuing to work hard for my constituents in Norwich North.
