Boris Johnson says tempers need to calm down in the Parliament
The Prime Minister maintained an intense session in Parliament regarding Brexit on Thursday
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that “the mood should calm down” after an intense session in Parliament during Wednesday and amid accusations against him for incendiary language used.
In statements given to the British television network BBC, Johnson said he “deplores all threats against anyone, particularly parliamentarians.”
Tempers should calm down; people should unite because only by making Brexit come true, the boiling on the current anxiety is reduced and we can focus on the internal agenda, the Prime Minister added.
Wednesday’s session was especially tense and there were exchanges of accusations about treason and abuse of power. Johnson repeatedly called the “surrender bill” an initiative to call for a further postponement of Brexit.
He also challenged the opposition leader, Jeremy Corbyn, to file a motion of censure, a measure that the Labor leader ruled out requesting until the government has asked Brussels to postpone Brexit.
“I think it is important that we speak in the House of Commons about the surrender project, the surrender act, in the way I did it,” Johnson said in his statements to the BBC.
