“It’s a disgrace to the democracy of this country.” (John McDonnell)
John McDonnell has been suspended from the House of Commons for 5 days. The reason being:
John McDonnell was sanctioned after he picked up the mace, the ornamental club which represents the royal authority of Parliament, in a breach of protocol. The Hayes and Harlington MP said the decision not to hold a vote on the runway was a “national disgrace”. Anyone manhandling the mace is considered in contempt of Parliament.
Well done John for taking a stand over the the planned new Heathrow runway. What was worse for the NL aparatchiks to see/hear, ‘manhandling the mace’ or John mentioning the word….’democracy’??!!
Again, well done John!
