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.
Under no circumstances is this language becoming of a public servant, let alone a home secretary.
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
Ishtiyaq Shukri
