Text
I did reflect on it, and I read through Members' contributions in Hansard. To be honest, there was not much real substance to an awful lot of what was said. A lot of it was extremely personal against me. I am here to answer questions at Question Time. I go regularly to the Committee, and I believe in scrutiny. However, some Members do not come here to scrutinise. The question is not about scrutiny; it is about performance and TikToks, rather than asking detailed questions about what I am doing in the Department to serve everyone in Northern Ireland. To be fair, Matthew, you ask about that, and you perform that scrutiny role. It is important that we have you, as the official Opposition, to do that.
