In his depiction of Stockton North, the home secretary, James Cleverly, has denied using any terminology that may be considered derogatory regarding the area.
The expletive, according to Alex Cunningham, a member of the Labour Party, was allegedly spoken at the Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday.
It took place, according to him, after Mr. Cunningham questioned the Prime Minister about the level of poverty that children in the constituency were experiencing.
The statement from Mr. Cleverly’s agency reads, “He would not and did not say that.” He finds it unpleasant that other people would hold him accountable.
The question that Mr. Cunningham had posed at Prime Minister’s Questions was along the lines of, “Why are 34 percent of children in my constituency living in poverty?”
In the later hours of Wednesday, Mr. Cunningham raised a point of order in the House of Commons by declaring, “The home secretary chose to add in his pennyworth before the prime minister answered.”
“The audio is clear.”
Â
“Yes, I have contacted his office, advising him I planned to name him, but sadly, he has chosen not to be in the chamber,” said the politician.
“He was overheard saying, ‘because it’s a shithole.'”
“I know he is denying being the culprit, but the audio is clear and has been checked, and checked, and checked again.”
When it comes to the home secretary, the Tory Party, and this dishonest administration, there is no question that these comments have caused them to feel humiliated. “He is obviously unfit to hold such a position,” Mr. Cunningham continued. “He is not qualified to hold such a position.”
Due to the fact that Mr. Cleverly is not seen mouthing the words on the footage of the Commons exchange, it is not obvious where the utterances originate from.
In his inquiry, Mr. Cunningham inquired about the means by which he may persuade the home secretary to retract “his appalling insult and foul language” in relation to his North East seat.
Dame Eleanor Laing, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons, claimed that Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker of the House of Commons, “didn’t hear any remark of the kind from the chair at the time the honorable gentleman was asking his question.”
“I appreciate what Mr. Cunningham says, but I understand that the alleged words were not actually used,” according to her.

On the other hand, I believe that we can all agree that the excessively noisy environment during Prime Minister’s Questions might make it quite challenging to comprehend what someone is saying.
“So I can make no judgment here from the chair as to what was or wasn’t said.”
At the dispatch box, Rishi Sunak said, “It is this government that has ensured that 1.7 million fewer people are living in poverty across our country as a result of the actions of this government.” I was referring to the steps that this government has taken.
The prime minister was listening at that moment when he overheard Mr. Cunningham add, “It’s not true.”
As Mr. Sunak continued, he stated, “That is true, indeed.” Furthermore, in comparison to the information that we obtained from the opposition party, there are hundreds of thousands of fewer children who are living in poverty, and there is less discrimination in terms of money.
According to Chris McDonald, the newly nominated candidate for Stockton North in the Labour Party, “this is a disgrace, but it lays bare what the Tories’ view of Teesside is.” McDonald made this statement regarding the situation.
Mr. McDonald reportedly went to Stockton North Conservative councillor Niall Innes and requested that he “condemn the remarks made.” The Local Democracy Reporting Service provided this information.
In light of the fact that Mr. Cunningham has decided not to run for public office in the upcoming election, Mr. McDonald will take on the role of representing Labor interests in the area.
