00:00The Prime Minister has consistently backed criminals over law-abiding British people.
00:05He defended terrorists like Hizb ut-Tahrir in the European Court.
00:10He argued all immigration law had a racist undercurrent.
00:14He voted against life sentences for people smugglers.
00:17He voted against more than 100 measures to control migration.
00:22He even said it was wrong.
00:25He even said, Mr Speaker, that it was wrong when the Conservatives
00:28took away Shamima Begum's citizenship.
00:31Now he has appointed her defence lawyer as his Attorney General.
00:36Mr Speaker, events in Syria mean we may see more small boat arrivals.
00:41For once, will he take the side of the British people
00:43and strip citizenship from jihadi terrorists and supporters of Assad
00:48who want to come back and destroy this country?
00:51Prime Minister.
00:52Mr Speaker, I was Director of Public Prosecution for five years.
00:57Unlike anyone on their benches, I was prosecuting for five years
01:02hundreds of thousands of criminals.
01:04That includes huge terrorist gangs, rapists.
01:07I was working for three of those five years
01:09with the then Home Secretary, Theresa May,
01:12who commended the work that I did at the end of those five years.
01:15So for her to stand there and say,
01:17I haven't done anything in law enforcement,
01:19I dedicated five years of my life to law enforcement,
01:22locking up criminals, which is more than she can say.
01:25And it would be easier to take the opposition seriously
01:28if they actually got through.
01:29Not a slither of remorse, not a hint of contrition.
01:33It's like the arsonists complaining
01:36about the people who are trying to put the fire out.
01:38And all they do is come every week with more and more complaints.
01:42Just wait until they get their hands on the people
01:44that created the mess that we are clearing up.
