Скачать или смотреть 'Get Some Help!' | David Lammy Clashes With Reform UK MP Over 'Conspiracy Theories'

David Lammy has urged a Reform UK MP to “get some help” because she is “swallowing conspiracy theories”.

Sarah Pochin had asked the Foreign Secretary whether the US felt unable to use the UK-US airbase on Diego Garcia, following the Government’s deal with Mauritius over the Chagos Islands.

Responding during a statement on the Middle East, Mr Lammy said the MP for Runcorn and Helsby should “get off social media”.

The UK-operated base in the Chagos Islands was not used in the US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty has said.

He added that the US did not ask to use it, as he answered questions from the Foreign Affairs Committee on Monday.

Speaking in the Commons, Ms Pochin said: “Is he (Mr Lammy) able to explain to the House whether the United States felt unable to use the Diego Garcia base and have to refuel, in a highly dangerous operation three times because of that, because of your deal that you did with the with the Mauritians, that would then tell the Chinese, that would then tell the Iranians?”

Mr Lammy replied: “The honourable lady has got (to) get off social media, has got to get some help… because she is swallowing conspiracy theories that should not be repeated in this House.”
