A hilarious video is making the rounds on social media showing Conservative MP Sam Gyimah ripping off a line from Harry Potter in support of the PM.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Prisons, Probation, Rehabilitation and Sentencing made an emphatic statement about Theresa May’s castigation of Donald Trump’s recent Islamophobic tweets on BBC Question Time last night.
He said: “It takes great bravery to stand up to your enemies, it takes even more bravery to stand up to your friends.”
The line is taken from a speech given by Albus Dumbledore in reference to Neville Longbottom’s act of bravery in standing up to fellow Hogwarts pupils Harry, Hermione and Ron in the hope of preventing Gryffindor from being docked house points.
*MUST WATCH* This gets better with every viewing!! you WON’T BELIEVE what’s he’s just said on national television #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/usvdVvqrDm

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
