Dennis skinner would have said something similar and who could blame him. Johnson lies in Parliament week after week and a Labour politician tells the truth and everyone tut tuts.

Commons in uproar after Labour MP tells the truth

[Omnipotent-Q]

What a fuss over nothing. The guys weak and was shaking even before he got a very minor insult. The guy looked like he was going to burst into tears. What a weakling.

Disgraceful, some lessons in good manners should be given before taking up a place in the Commons

[adrianbickley]

Uncouth woman. Should be nowhere near the Labour front bench. Disgraceful and Starmer should get rid!

[joshclayg]

Sounds about right for 2020.

Get insulted

Call it out

Get told to apologise for calling out the insult.

So the victim of the name calling needs to apologise? Wow.

I thought the speaker was good. She handled that well and comes across as a intelligent person, confident in her answers and what she's doing.

[grewalparminder]

Wow, for once something honest in the house of parliament.

[chrispearce]

Angela Raynor isn't the one in the wrong here.

[jamesstokes]

If they cant speak professional who can omg

[andrewem]

Nothing but theatre and there are some stupid people falling for it.

[Arcadiabeckons]

There’s more “uproar” over one person calling one other person one word once than however many hundreds of thousands of hungry children not getting food...ace.
