A Woke Revolution
HBO Real Time Feb. 3, 2023

ALT On a point of order, Mr Speaker… I wanted to notify the House at the earliest opportunity that I have written to the Honourable Member for Penistone and Stocksbridge to acknowledge that the tone of my remarks in the Chamber yesterday was a mistake. I stand by the words I said and I profoundly disagree with the comments made by the Honourable Member. Our job as MPs is to channel passion and anger into considered debate to win arguments - in this case for the Trans community and to defend devolution . I recognise that I failed to control that passion during what was an emotional debate and I should have expressed my deep disagreement, with what I believe is an abhorrent view, in a more appropriate way. I want to apologise to Madame Deputy Speaker who presided over the debate.
