00:00 In the wee small hours of Saturday morning, I received an email—I apologise for my language,
00:08 Mr Speaker—calling me a "parasite", a "rat" and a "piece of shit". This
00:13 came in response to my challenging the appropriateness of a US citizen, Michael Franzese, who is
00:19 doing a tour in the UK and is part of that tour advocating publicly for the self-proclaimed
00:24 misogynist influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate, who are encouraging toxic attitudes
00:30 among young men in this country. Can I ask the Prime Minister, who has spoken about banning
00:35 hate preachers from entering the UK, if he will extend this to misogynists?
00:41 Those who seek to divide us, undermine our values and indeed intimidate and threaten
00:47 others have no place in our society, and we will not hesitate to use not just the full
00:51 force of the law but also our immigration regime to make sure we have security and cohesion
00:56 in this country.
