    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to pick up on that point earlier about the language used, and that applies to parliamentary parties as well. The opposition particularly has to be really careful not to dehumanise the Government and politicians of the party in charge on the day. I and many of my colleagues receive death threats. We walk out of this building and do not have security surrounding us. That comes when opposition politicians call us ‘scum,’ and when they incite and praise violence. I stand with the Mayor. I see your Twitter and that is...
  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [23]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    Emma Best AM: Thank you. I was really brought in by Assembly Member Baker’s line of questioning there, and Assembly Member Unmesh Desai, actually, let Assembly Member Keith Prince finish earlier, so perhaps I will expand all that for her, though I had not planned to. That is the really important point, those lost journeys. A lot of the emails I get are about “I go and visit my Dad or my Mum/I do the shopping for my uncle every week, and I am not going to be able to afford to make that journey.” How are you measuring that...
