Conduct Unbecoming

Today in Parliament, deputy leader of the Labour Party Angela Rayner, called a Tory MP `scum` as he was delivering some news about the latest Covid results. Deputy Speaker Dame Eleanor Laing remonstrated with her and asked her to withdraw the remark. Instead, she went into another tirade.

Why wasn't she ejected from the House for such outrageous behaviour?

Re: Conduct Unbecoming

Today is the first time I've heard of her.

And already I can't stand the gobby mare ... even before that dratted insult 'scum' I'd had the misfortune to hear her drone on and on about oppressed Mancunians ... sounding like some old out-of-time 20th century early trade unionist. I was half expecting her to fish out a banner claiming ... Mancunian Lives Matter.

Amazing to discover she's the Deputy Leader.

Re: Conduct Unbecoming

Parliamentary rules of behaviour desperately need overhauling and bringing up to date. For example, Johnson blatantly lied to parliament in PMQs today yet no one is allowed to call him a liar. Rayner's calling the Tory minister scum, if she so did, was also fully justified but, yet again, forbidden. The rules as they stand are a charter for liars hypocrites.

Re: Conduct Unbecoming

I wouldn't say it was fully justified.
What would have happened if instead of questioning it he'd just shot back .. shut up you flatulent cow.
There is such a thing as manners and not behaving like an alley cat.

Sadiq Khan, on the bbc London News tonight called Boris a liar. Unbecoming, I thought.

Re: Conduct Unbecoming

Apparently, reported on Twitter, she has apologised for her outburst. Did she jump or was she pushed? Probably the latter considering the level of outrage generated - maybe her boss has had a word in her shell-like?

Best yet, when Denis Skinner called half of the Tories liars while in the commons and was made to retract the accusation and apologise by the Speaker, he announced that half of the Tories were not liars.
