Boris in response to Starmer’s call for a bill to toughen sentences for rape and sexual violence:

“Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing if there was a bill going through the House of Commons which did exactly that? Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing if there were measures to defend women and girls from violent and sex criminals? Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing if there was a bill before the house to have tougher sentences for murderers and sex offenders? That I think would be a fine thing. As it happens there is such a bill before the house…”
