Afzal Khan MP @Afzal4Gorton@respublicae.eu

The recent actions against the BBC from the Modi Government represent yet another example of their disregard for human rights.

I asked the Minister when will this Government publicly acknowledge the curbing of the freedom of expression in India 👇🏾

Over 1,000 duty solicitors have quit in the last 5 years.

But it didn't have to be this way.

The Government has repeatedly made political choices that have left legal aid and our criminal justice system on its knees.

Over the last few months, we've seen a far-right terrorist attack an immigration processing centre and a far-right mob riot outside an asylum hotel.

But the Government are still failing to take the threat of the far-right seriously.

The Conservatives have turned their backs on communities, run down our public services and undermined respect for the rule of law.

She’s served with dedication and passion. I wish her all the best for her next steps.

Labour stands ready to be the change that Scotland needs.
