Spiked Online Editor Tom Slater has revealed the mood around London is “incredibly tense” after the UK parliament erupted over a ceasefire vote.
Speaker of the House Sir Lindsay Hoyle apologised to MPs for the chaos that ensued over the Gaza debate but insisted the safety of MPs was on his mind when he made the decision to allow a vote on a Labour amendment.
‘Incredibly tense’ mood around London following ceasefire debate in parliament
“The mood is incredibly tense… I think MPs have a right to be concerned,” Mr Slater told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“It was only a couple of years ago, 2021, that David Ames, a Tory MP was murdered by an Islamist terrorist because of his support for airstrikes against Islamist state.
“We’ve had a Conservative MP Mike Freer recently announce that he is going to step down at the next election … because he’s been menaced with death threats for years.”
