1. How did she get in there without being jumped by police/security?
2. Why does an MP of all people have to be the one to escort her out? Again, why no police/security?

These people find their way into literally everything

He grabbed her by the back of her neck. Huge difference. The title made me think he tried to strangle her.

[sangmadewira]

You can literally see the smug naive smile she had at the beginning. She thought there wouldn't be any real consequences to her actions😒😒

[PENNYTRATION]

Someone forcibly told her no for the first time in her life, love to see it

Like just about everyone on the left, she has enormous trouble with the simple fact that other people have rights too.

[hanzohattori]

Look at her. Smiling like she's been caught stealing cookies out of the cookie jar.

[rosea]

He’s got my vote and I’m not even British. 😂

[accomplice]

what a badass
need more politicians like that guy

[jackmatthews]

How refreshing to see a room full of adults . And to know they do not deal with childishness.

[Mastah]

I know it's 4 years old and I don't live in UK, but where can I vote for this man?

[nobjammin]

the alarm in the background makes it seem like a lost level from Goldeneye 64

[bibsann]

The world needs more men like this guy.

[BobSapp]

I like the fact that everybody applauded Mark Field at the end. Absolute legend. He should be promoted to PM. I wish every man reacted like he did.

[Bxxxxxx]

There's no way this man should lose his job. I'm sure in hindsight he probably thinks he was slightly heavy handed but he reacted in the moment. SHE was trespassing. Just because she's a middle aged woman, that doesn't automatically mean she doesn't pose a danger? What if she had a knife? What if she herself was going to slap or assault someone? SHE'S the one in the wrong. If she wasn't there in the first place then none of this would have happened...

[francoisjurgens]

Ah one guy with balls in the entire UK

[boudyboujaoudeh-cwtz]

Wait is it just me or did I just hear the siren meme sound effect playing in the background when he was grabbing her 💀

[paulleverton]

I'm a lifelong Labour voter, and one of the vast majority of Brits becoming increasingly concerned about the environment,
but I have to take my hat off to this -heartless- Tory MP for dealing with that situation perfectly.
She's not made of glass, she can stand to be _slightly_ man handled out of the event she gatecrashed and planned to ruin.
It's not like he punched her in the face then put the boot in when she hit the floor. He simply directed her out in a way that ensure she couldn't spit in his face.

[GigiGiggio]

Damn looks like the rich house from the Purge

[LWTok]

The kind of politician we didn't know we needed.
