Plaid Cymru Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts said the prime minister "once spoke of compassion and dignity for migrants, and for defending free movement" and asked the prime minister, "is there any belief he holds which survives a week in Downing Street?" to which he replied, "Yes, the belief that she talks rubbish".
