Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:50 pm on 20 June 2017.
Well, I’m sure we’ll explore this point further later on this afternoon in the statement on the Government’s paper on Brexit.
I want to move to another issue. As a result of the dreadful fire in Kensington and the terrible loss of life that was suffered there, is it not rather undesirable for the leader of the opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, to try to weaponise this as an issue and to incite people to occupy private property in order to house those who have been dispossessed? It is a very dangerous situation indeed for politicians in positions of responsibility to use such things. We know that there are certain important members of the Labour Party who believe that insurrection is an acceptable political tool. John McDonnell many times has said that parliamentary democracy is only one option, and that the picket lines and the streets are the places where the real political battles can be fought. So, does the First Minister agree with me that it would be most unfortunate if the Labour Party were to perpetuate this kind of rhetoric?
