Dear Catherine West MP

21 April 2026

I am asking you to lodge a complaint against the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, for swearing at a heckler.

Please also ask her to apologise for her vulgar language, which, if she is intent on upholding the dignity of her office, is the decent and appropriate thing to do.

Your constituent
