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.— Wes Streeting MP (@wesstreeting) March 20, 2019
It's no wonder Labour MPs are so scathing of May's statement. The truth is that MPs are largely to blame for the current impasse, and those MPs are predominantly Labour. Labour MPs overwhelmingly blocked May's deal. Twice. Labour MPs overwhelmingly rejected no deal and overwhelmingly voted for the dreaded extension. Now they are moaning that the extension is not long enough!
Streeting is a prominent supporter of the so-called 'People's Vote' campaign. Given the contempt with which Labour MPs regard the 52%, perhaps it should come as no surprise that the constituency he claims to represent voted LEAVE by 53%.
