Sir Keir warns Tories to 'be careful' with majoritypublished at 14:05 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2019

Now we are on to the closing statement from the Labour benches - shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer.
After praising the number of new MPs who have made maiden speeches and the civil tone of debate, he moves on to a warning for the Tories.
"We have had a general election," he says. "There is a clear winner with a clear majority.
"So I say this to members opposite. With that majority, be careful. Be careful. Doing things because the government has a majority doesn't mean those things are right."
He points to the removal of the Dubs amendment for child refugees.
"I know members across the House have supported that campaign," adds Sir Keir.
"[To remove it], that is a moral disgrace, majority or no majority.
"So I ask those who go into the lobby to vote for this bill... ask them to reflect for a moment in that."
