Rishi Sunak Takes Aim At Keir Starmer's Legal Record During Pmqs

Transcript

00:00 It's crystal clear, not only does the Labour party not have a plan to fix this issue,

00:05 but the truth is they don't actually care about fixing this issue.

00:09 He talks about the gangs.

00:10 When we gave the police new powers to crack down on the people smuggling gangs,

00:15 he spent months campaigning and voting against it.

00:20 But thanks to our new laws, 900 criminals have been arrested,

00:27 450 have been convicted, serving over 370 years behind bars.

00:33 If it was up to him, those criminals would still be out on our streets, Mr Speaker.

00:39 And the truth is, if he wasn't the Labour leader, he'd still want to be their lawyer.

00:46 [Cheering]

00:54 Mr Speaker, I've prosecuted more people smugglers than he's had helicopter rides,

01:02 and that's a lot.

01:04 And this, I've done it.

01:07 Rwanda gimmick is going to cost the taxpayer £2 million for every one of his 300 people that they deport.

01:15 I know the Prime Minister likes to spend a lot on jet setting, but that's on plane tickets.

01:21 It's the cost of Tory chaos, and it's working people who are paying the price.

01:26 The man he made as Immigration Minister let the cat out of the bag

01:30 when he said the Prime Minister's symbolic flights will not provide a credible deterrent.

01:36 And we know the Prime Minister himself thought it wouldn't work.

01:40 If the people selling this gimmick don't believe in it, why should the country?

01:44 [Cheering]

01:46 Mr Speaker, he's very keen to talk about who he prosecuted.

01:49 He's a bit less keen to talk about when he defended Hizb ut-Tarir.

01:53 [Cheering]

01:55 When it comes to this question of how to deal with people who are here illegally,

02:03 his values are simply not those of the British people.

02:07 After all, this is the person who campaigned to stop the deportation of foreign dangerous criminals.

02:15 A dangerous criminal was jailed for dealing class A drugs after he fought to keep him here.

02:21 A gang master was convicted of carrying a knife after he fought to keep him here.

02:26 So whether it's representing terrorists or campaigning for criminals,

02:30 it's clear whose side he's on, and it's not the British people's.

02:33 [Cheering]

02:37 It's genuinely sad to see him reduced to this nonsense.

02:40 [Cheering]

02:41 Let's take another example that I started with.
