During Prime Minister's Questions, MP Dawn Butler raised concerns about the Conservative Party's adherence to the law. Rishi Sunak's response was met with skepticism, as several instances of alleged law-breaking by the party were highlighted. This includes the high court finding that Dominic Raab acted unlawfully by ignoring advice on legal aid fees. Sunak's claim that his party 'follows all laws' was strongly refuted by various individuals, citing examples of alleged law-breaking by the Conservative Government, including threats to break international law and flouting parliamentary rules and procedures.
His party “follows all laws” says @RishiSunak Imagine his shock when he finds out Downing Street was home to the worst Covid law-breakers in the country, his Government has repeatedly threatened to break international law & has flouted parliamentary rules & procedure’s https://t.co/ipkMiym1Zt
"Of course Mr Speaker our party follows all the laws" - Rishi "Complete bollox" - @PeterStefanovi2 Me: When you go to vote just remember any and all of the videos made by Peter. Don't vote for blatant lawbreakers, vote for a party that won't lie time after time in the HoC. https://t.co/vHYmv4diSI
On the same day @RishiSunak says his party always follows the law…Judges say the former Justice Secretary Dominic Raab broke the law in the way he increased defence solicitors' pay by less than he had been advised to https://t.co/SEq40tjhJy

Downing Street was home to the worst Covid law-breakers in the country and the Conservative Government has repeatedly threatened to break international law and flouted parliamentary rules & procedure’s. For Sunak to tell MP’s his party “follows all laws” is just complete boll**** https://t.co/ipkMiym1Zt

Huge thanks to Dawn Butler for raising this important issue at #PMQs before we head into the General Election. 💥🙏 I don't think anyone was convinced by Rishi Sunak's answer - and even he couldn't deliver it with a straight face... https://t.co/R03u8RvDIT
