Alex Burghart has said the vote in the House of Commons was the biggest rebellion of Keir Starmer’s premiership so far.

Speaking on GB News Alex Burghart said:

“The Prime Minister has misled Parliament and he needs to be held to account. That’s why the Conservatives are doing our absolute best to make sure that he takes responsibility for the lies he’s told.

“We have been leading on this. And no surprise that when it came down to it, the Labour whips turned all the thumbs crews to try and get their people in.

“But this was the biggest rebellion of Keir Starmer as premiership, and we are seeing major cracks open up in the Labour Party tonight. And that’s what good opposition is.

“Everybody cares about the fact that this Prime Minister is letting the country down. Everybody wants a Prime Minister who tells the truth and actually delivers on things.

“Everybody knows Keir Starmer is not doing that. That’s why we’ve got to do the work that we’re doing to make sure that he’s held to account in the House of Commons. That’s what we’re doing, that’s what we’re going to carry on doing.

“We’re expecting a whole load of new documents after the local elections. Labour’s held them back until after the local elections. We will go through them with a fine tooth comb, and we will hold the Prime Minister to account when we get back.

“There’s one load of documents going to the ISC, and another load of documents that will come to the House of Commons direct. We’re looking forward to those.”
