Alice-Mary Higgins: ...internationally recognised as such. This territory is still awaiting a long-awaited referendum in respect of self-determination. Morocco does not have a mandate and we know that, much as in the case of Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, under international trade law there should be no trading where there is not a mandate and where there is, in fact, an occupied territory....

Rent Reduction Bill 2023: Second Stage [Private Members] (26 Apr 2023)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...each other and are fighting over the spoils. They are armed and supported by outside forces, including the European Union.

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...rules-based order? I find it extraordinary that we can use those phrases in the same sort of sentence as we welcome Joe Biden and applaud him.

In this forum, are we going to examine the threat...
