Labour backbenchers warn May 'will have to accept her share of responsibility' if any harm comes to MPs after combative TV address
Image: PA Wire/PA Images Image: PA Wire/PA Images SOME LABOUR MPS in the UK have warned that Theresa May’s speech last night could incite hatred against members of parliament.
“It is high time we made a decision. So far parliament has done everything possible to avoid making a choice,” she said in her TV address. “You want this stage of the Brexit process to be over and done with. I agree. I am on your side. It is now time for MPs to decide.” Labour MP for Ilford Wes Streeting said on Twitter: “I’ve thought long and hard before saying this, but @theresa_may knows that MPs across the House are subjected to death threats – some very credible. Her speech was incendiary and irresponsible. If any harm comes to any of us, she will have to accept her share of responsibility.”
