, two survived. but with quite serious injuries. hundreds of people saw the shooting took place, taking place, including many children, about a third of the eyewitnesses are children . the eyewitnesses are children. and it has just torn our community apart. there's now huge amounts of grief for the people we lost. there's a collective trauma for the experiences that people went through, and there's a real variety of ways people are deaung variety of ways people are dealing with it. we know that communities that have suffered a major trauma like this have a consequences, not just for weeks and months afterwards, but for years and decades. and it's still very much a very much raw in my community. i only live half a mile from where it took place. and it really it hurts still. it hurts the community and there's a real sense that after all this evil that was done to our community, all this pain , all the loss, that pain, all the loss, that something good's got to come from it. and that has to be about changing gun laws for the better because don't want any

better because i don't want any other going other community going through what plymouth. it what we did in plymouth. it really was terrible. but that pain to be used for some pain has to be used for some good at the end of it. so you mentioned gun— good at the end of it. so you mentioned gun laws.- d e so you mentioned gun laws. tell me what you mentioned gun laws. tell me what we newe— mentioned gun laws. tell me what we newe in— mentioned gun laws. tell me what you have in mind— mentioned gun laws. tell me what you have in mind in— mentioned gun laws. tell me what you have in mind in terms of inat— you have in mind in terms of net eni— you have in mind in terms of inn and any— you have in mind in terms of that and any other lessons that ie— that and any other lessons that can be learned.— that and any other lessons that can be learned. so— that and any other lessons that can be learned. so no other community— can be learned. so no other community does— can be learned. so no other community does suffer what your community— community does suffer what your community has.7 _ community does suffer what your community has.7 �*fii�*izge community does suffer what your community has.7 viii“ wiziz; community does suffer what your community has.7 �*vw�*iiee wiiti community has.7 well, we were let down by our local police force. they gave a gun to someone who should not have been eligible for a gun. wasn't suitable . they for a gun. wasn't suitable. they tookit for a gun. wasn't suitable. they took it off him after he assaulted someone and then they gave it back. and so it's a catalogue of failures locally . catalogue of failures locally. but it's not just about what devon and cornwall police did . devon and cornwall police did. it needs to be about a bigger picture because our gun laws are outdated . the 1968 act that most outdated. the 1968 act that most of our legislation comes from is from an era of very long time ago . it costs £79 to apply for ago. it costs £79 to apply for a gun certificate , £49 for gun certificate, £49 for a renewal. it costs police forces hundreds and hundreds of pounds to process that application , to process that application, which means all of us taxpayers

are paying for the right of a very small number of people to have weapons. i don't think people should be able to keep pump—action weapons in their homes, which was the weapon used in plymouth . but i also think we in plymouth. but i also think we need to revisit the whole system. each police force does gun licencing slightly differently. police force differently. each police force process it differently . and we process it differently. and we know that gun crime is on the rise. we know it's a persistent problem in our communities. rise. we know it's a persistent problem in our communities . and problem in our communities. and i think the way that we are going a safer a safer going to get a safer a safer environment for people and a clearer sense of direction for those people who are responsible gun users is to have a proper review of gun laws to look at what has gone wrong, not just in plymouth, but in the shootings since. and there has sadly been many shootings the many shootings since the incident had in incident that we've had in plymouth learn those lessons plymouth to learn those lessons and that has to be about including the communities that have affected this, have been affected by this, because that that focus because that pain, that focus that comes from that grief and that comes from that grief and that loss needs to be directed into a way of making our communities safer. think

communities safer. and i think a review of gun laws is one way of doing that. okay. following the eneeiinge— doing that. okay. following the eneeiinge yew— doing that. okay. following the shootings, you said— i:i:::i g okay. following the shootings, you said this to the ieiew— shootings, you said this to the labour leader— shootings, you said this to the labour leader ,_ shootings, you said this to the labour leader , keir starmer. labour leader, keir starmer. i gnieiwi— labour leader, keir starmer. i was grateful you— labour leader, keir starmer. i was grateful you allowed me to sien— was grateful you allowed me to step back— was grateful you allowed me to eien neck iei— was grateful you allowed me to step back for a— was grateful you allowed me to step back for a month in the summer to not— step back for a month in the summer to not only focus on the community— summer to not only focus on the community i— summer to not only focus on the community i represent ant, but to week— community i represent ant, but to ieek ener— community i represent ant, but to look after my— community i represent ant, but to look after my own mental newn— to look after my own mental neeiin. ieii— to look after my own mental health. tell me— to look after my own mental health. tell me about the impact it nei— health. tell me about the impact it new on— health. tell me about the impact it new on wow— health. tell me about the impact it had on your mental health as an iii. — it had on your mental health as an iii. i— it had on your mental health as an mp. i wasn't— it had on your mental health as an mp. i wasn't for— it had on your mental health as an mp. e : an mp. i wasn't for prepared a mass shooting like this. i don't think anyone is. the day after we set up the shooting took place , we set up an emergency place, we set up an emergency response centre in the community and the first people that came through parents their through were parents with their young kids and speaking to tiny children and their parents about how their child had seen someone shot with a pump action rifle. what it meant for them, and repeating that conversation dozens dozens of times as i dozens and dozens of times as i mean, that has an effect on you. and i'd like to think i was quite a resilient character. i'm always kind of duracell bunny, bouncy , when have those bouncy, but when you have those type of experiences shared time

and time again, that does take its toll . was in the its toll. and i was in the shadow cabinet at the time when the shooting took place our the shooting took place and our member sitting in kyiv with families just thinking , i can families just thinking, i can either do my shadow cabinet role properly for this period or i can look after my community and there's one me for this there's only one of me for this community. so i ask him if i could step back for a month and that time was really important not to only look after myself, to sure that i could still to make sure that i could still get out of bed every day and to experience yet again a, you know, the same conversation as, you know, looking after people, feeling they feel , feeling seeing how they feel, but also make sure that i can still be useful as a member of parliament. so. right, we're taking this pain and we're going to do something positive with it. and that's really, i think, the job of an mp to represent their community. and for me that's what representing a community . so six years community means. so six years you've community means. so six years wow-we teen— community means. so six years yew-we been an— community means. so six years you've been an mp— community means. so six years you've been an mp the- i can so six years you've been an mp the year after you've been an mp the year after we wee— you've been an mp the year after you were elected,— you've been an mp the year after you were elected, you wrote an enieie— you were elected, you wrote an enieie .— you were elected, you wrote an enieie . inie— you were elected, you wrote an article . this was— you were elected, you wrote an article . this was in— you were elected, you wrote an article . this was in 2018 saying article. this was in 2018 saying the

behaviours that i saw and that i was asked to follow in each of those jobs into this job. i wouldn't shout someone down in a meeting nor would i accept there to be predatory behaviour in any workplace that i've worked in. but in westminster it is kind of accepted by people and that's why we need good people not to be by this. we need more be put off by this. we need more good people westminster of good people in westminster of every frankly, to make every party, frankly, to make that that we to that change that we need to achieve, because westminster should best of should be the very best of britain. we've seen from not only the sexual abuse scandals that have been in the news , but that have been in the news, but also scandals , the also the lobbying scandals, the culture of bullying. that's far too present, that got too present, that we've got a long go now to get it to long way to go now to get it to be place where it should be. be the place where it should be. that promise, that it should be a place where you can debate and challenge, with campaigns challenge, come with campaigns and hope and i think we've got some work to do to get there. okay, let's talk about your own epeiene — okay, let's talk about your own epeience ci— okay, let's talk about your own experience of being an mp . not a experience of being an mp. not a good— experience of being an mp. not a good one— experience of being an mp. not a good owing— experience of being an mp. not a good one. during the general eiecricn— good one. during the general election, your— good one. during the general election, your constituency ciiice— election, your constituency ciiice wee— election, your constituency office was vandalised on two

energy. more energy. that just creates more heat, more light. heat, doesn't create more light. that's the reason why we're the person did that. i offered person who did that. i offered to have cup of tea with them. to have a cup of tea with them. let's let's talk about let's sit down. let's talk about why think that is why they think that is appropriate, why they think that because calling gay people has been a you know , it's a trope been a you know, it's a trope that has gone back generations and generations. and it's just hate. it's untruthful hate. and that's why we need to challenge and call it out. but the most effective way of calling out, i think, is not to load more hate onto it is to try and create some clarity and some positivity out of it . say, okay, this out of it. say, okay, this doesn't have to be the way i'm in the public eye, which means my experience is when that happens, became a story. happens, became a news story. there's people every single day facing that type of hate and abuse in the communities who don't have the same platform as i do, don't have the same protections that a member of parliament that's why parliament does. and that's why how respond it is so how we respond to it is so important because should lead important because we should lead by , and that's leading by example, and that's leading by example, and that's leading by example, and that's leading by example terms of how by example in terms of how we deal with problems. but

deal with these problems. but i don't want to see any lgbt person in our country have to suffer that hate, but there's more around. so we've got more of it around. so we've got to determined in to be more determined in challenging and doing to challenging it and doing so to create country at the create a better country at the end it. and valentine's end of it. and on valentine's day in 2021, you posted a picture of yourself and your boyfriend you received online homophobic abuse. when you did so. is homophobic abuse. when you did ic iner— homophobic abuse. when you did is net ine— homophobic abuse. when you did so. is that the last— it when you did so. is that the last horrible exenpie— so. is that the last horrible exenpie ci— so. is that the last horrible example of abuse that you've been— example of abuse that you've been swig-ecr— example of abuse that you've been subject to? _ example of abuse that you've been subject to? “iiti i: been subject to? there's quite a lot of abuse online and people sitting in their pants at home just being able to tweet whatever they like or post anonymous comments. that's pretty nasty. but we're in a culture where that is being increasingly normalised and i'm plymouth's first ever out member of parliament. i think that is a special responsibility. i have to be authentically me and i've got a wonderful fiance now and i'm really happy with him. he's he's everything i could ever dream of. and because of that , i dream of. and because of that, i don't want to let online trolls have a go at me to take away

some of that that love that i have for him. and i know that when i stand up to anti—lgbt hate in that way, you're giving hope for people who are facing it every day. people who are suffering and struggling because of hate, directed at them simply because who they are and who they fall in love with. and that's why i think the visibility matters. visibility that's why i think the visibaboutiatters. visibility that's why i think the visib about being visibility that's why i think the visib about being an sibility that's why i think the visib about being an mpity that's why i think the visib about being an mp visible obe about being an mp visible motty about what you do with being mp. and i think you've being an mp. and i think you've got hate, but got to challenge hate, but you've also to some you've also got to create some hope more hope in our hope and a bit more hope in our politics. i think could go a long way. final question. you're going married? you're going to get married? on.— you're going to get married? on.-we-re— you're going to get married? oh,-we're looking- you're going to get married? oh,-we're looking at- oh, yes. we're looking at venues, setting venues, hopefully setting a date soon. about it. soon. i'm very excited about it. and as the bloodiest man in and then as the bloodiest man in parliament, i think at the moment, i can't wait to start a family with him. oh, that's a lovely wry— family with him. oh, that's a lovely way to — family with him. oh, that's a lovely way to end _ can i oh, that's a lovely way to end because ear i oh, that's a lovely way to end because we scener— lovely way to end because we scarred-e— lovely way to end because we scarred-e very— lovely way to end because we started a very difficult started with a very difficult time— started with a very difficult time enci— started with a very difficult time and all— started with a very difficult time and all of— started with a very difficult time and all of us at gb news cent— time and all of us at gb news sent your— time and all of us at gb news send your community, our very peer— send your community, our very best wicnec— send your community, our very best wishes for— send your community, our very best wishes for the recovery and an best wishes for the recovery and en enci— best wishes for the recovery and an and ne— best wishes for the recovery and an and the grieving that undoubtedly— an and the grieving that undoubtedly will be a feature of
