Sir Edward to Prime Minister: Our religion should be one of love

Sir Edward Leigh in the Chamber

While historical misdeeds must be acknowledged and condemned, we should judge individuals by the standards and morality of the time in which they lived. It is unfair to judge people of a different era by the ever changing and evolving views of our own time.

For those of religious persuasion, we must remember that this should be used not for judgement, but for universal love. This love should extend to babies, young mothers, frail people, and every individual from the very beginning of life until the end.

We must Back British Farming!

Wednesday, 9 September, 2026
I am very pleased to stand with the NFU in support of Back British Farming Day. It is one of the most lamentable aspects of this Labour government that they have betrayed the votes of those farmers who trusted them to protect their interests as the cultivators of our country.
