WATCH: Keir Starmer grilled by Graham Stringer on reinstating blasphemy law

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has been grilled by Labour MP Graham Stringer during PMQs on whether he plans to reinstate blasphemy laws.

Mr Stringer asked Sir Keir: “Mr Speaker, this country can be proud of its history of religious tolerance and religious freedom. The quid pro quo of that is the right to criticise religion.

“Can the Prime Minister ensure this House that there will be no introduction or reintroduction of a blasphemy law, either by statute, by judicial overreach, or by a non-statutory definition of Islamophobia?”

The Prime Minister responded: “Yes, I can give him that assurance, and it’s important that I do so.”

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
