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.
