"At 79 years old he should be more careful that he doesn't bring on a stroke or heart attack" It'd be one less.

That was him. Labour MP for "leave" voting Huddersfield. At 79 years old he should be more careful that he doesn't bring on a stroke or heart attack To be fair it was in response to Geoffrey Cox's ridiculously emotive and over the top statement to the house.

What you really mean is that the opposition are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing and opposing Her Majesty's Government No, I mean exactly what I wrote. The HoC consists of more than just the government and opposition at present. This is now a minority government and extraordinary times. Nothing is normal so nothing is being done as it is "supposed" to be done.

Yes I was uncomfortable with this attack and to it being headline news. However in following this tactic of peoples hero v establishment he takes one hell of a risk. Some nutter with a gun will justify his act by quoting him. Fatal body blow for Brexit I suspect. I've agreed that the positions and hence language is highly polarised......that's what happens when people won't compromise. We had three votes on a deal that no one really wanted which Johnson and co voted for on the last vote but instead the opposition decided to play 'win or bust'. Let's not forget that there are no doubt remainer nutters out there as well. Johnson and co have been called all types of insult.....'dictator', 'Trump'...we have had the nonsense that he's pulled a 'coup'. So with the language I'm wholly opposed to any restrictions on what is said in the chamber. It is a matter for that house to regulate. My opinions is I'd rather pull the cameras than restrict language.

2 words in terms of elites- Boris Johnson It's not a conspiracy, I've said it how it actually is. As for elites....like I said, 'not all'. But it's certainly true for most of them.

This is a pretty scary post. It's further evidence, if any is really needed, of just how irresponsible and dangerous Johnsons's tactics are. To use the level of disrespect and divisive language in such a clearly prepared way just ramps up the hatred. For him to then describe himself as a "one nation Tory" was quite extraordinary. This is a key moment in Tory party history. Will they allow themselves to morph into the ERG/Farage party in the same way the Republicans have morphed into the Trump party in the USA or will they resist.

Seems he chooses who he likes to get furious about. Blimey, I was not expecting that.

No wonder people get angry with him when people like you cannot fathom the reality of what life must be like for MPs just trying to do their job.

Nothing to do with them thwarting Brexit and doing the opposite of the large majority in their constituencies? They suddenly received threats yesterday afternoon? Get real.

I suspect you are making reference to Barry Sheerman who was a-boil akin to burning milk,self-combusting,hissing scowling and glaring with steam coming out of his ears. Yes I am in total agreement that "Betrayal" and "Surrender" are hardly examples of dangerous language. Not to the ears of anyone able to rationalise no, but to an already dangerous individual who believes themselves to be a patriot whose "rights" have been stolen they can easily be extremely dangerous and enough to tip them over the edge and into action. Politicians all need to be mindful that not everyone listening processes their words well.

I'm loving seing all these snowflake lefties pretending to be angry with Johnson, hilarious. Thanks. Encapsulated in one short sentence are the reasons why Johnson's contemptuous rhetoric is so divisive. Capturing the Brexit party voters might be in the Tory party's interests but it isn't in the country's.

The key to Johnson's behaviour is financial pressure. If he doesn't deliver brexit on 31st October he and his hedge fund backers with their advanced betting will be short of 6.3 billion pounds. Imagine how much that is, and what it means for Johnson if he doesn't deliver. Now quite likely that he wont, how ironic that it will all be down to his nightmare premiership. What's the key to your behaviour then Steely? The number of enemas you've had this week? Edited by Stirlingsays (26 Sep 2019 10.35am)

Yes I saw it as a tactic suddenly brought in by all of them on the same day. I am sure it was planned and coordinated. You, and others here, totally misunderstand the motivation though. Those ladies are concerned to the point of being terrified that the language being used by this government is increasing the already high level of threats they are receiving. Threats to their lives and their families. Would you not care about that? Jo Cox was mentioned only to emphasise that these threats are real. They are not just empty words of knock about banter in the Commons chamber. To dismiss them as simply political tactics in the disrespectful way that Johnson did was disgraceful. These are his colleagues! No-one with any degree of decency ought to support him in doing so.
