Not Acceptable.

An investigation has been launched into Parliament disorder ,where TORY Mps were manhandling their fellow MPs into voting the way the ToryParty wanted them to vote , on the issue of fracking ... How Disgusting.
In the case of the Tories , does (MP ) now stand for (Mafia Party).

I don't think they need to dig themselves any more holes.:0)

[ToraToraTora]

Do you have any evidence to support your post?

[naomi24]

'Manhandling' sounds like they had people's arms up their backs. Who are these brutes?

[ToraToraTora]

The party must have hired some chucker inners!

// Conservative MPs were bullied and manhandled into backing Liz Truss in a vote on fracking, according to MPs who witnessed the scenes.

House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said he had ordered an investigation into the incident.
Sir Lindsay said he wanted members to treat each other with "courtesy and respect".

The confusion erupted on Wednesday evening after Labour brought a vote on whether MPs should get a say on the government's fracking plans.

Conservative MPs were initially told the vote would be treated as a test of loyalty to the government - a motion of confidence - and if they did not oppose the Labour plan they could get kicked out of the parliamentary party.

Tory whips, who are responsible for discipline in the parliamentary party, ordered their MPs to vote against the motion - but then just minutes before the vote, climate minister Graham Stuart rowed back on this at the despatch box where he suggested it was not a vote of confidence.

Chaotic scenes in the voting lobby followed, as whips tried to get Tory MPs to oppose the Labour motion. //

Shambolic way to run a Government,

I'd like to see evidence of this. And define Manhandling.

The problem is Whips have bullied MP's for many decades.

That video is not evidence at all, it's one persons opinion.

He may well be right but I'd like to see some hard evidence before coming down one side or another.

[youngmafbog]

Mog Manhandled hahahahahaha

He couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.

[pimplyteen]

I was reading on some other thread about people feeling sorry for Truss and looking quite unwell, well she's left thousands of people feeling unwell, the trusses of their house dreams have collapsed.

// one Conservative MP described the chaos in the House of Commons as “inexcusable” and an “absolute disgrace”.

Other MPs spoke of “total carnage” and “utter madness”, as cabinet minister Jacob Rees-Mogg reportedly shouted “it’s not a confidence vote” and Tory colleagues reportedly used four-letter words to tell him where to go. //

Undisciplined, unedifying and unelectable.

YMB @ 11.15 Mog was amongst the center of it all but when interviewed on Tv . he saw nothing and denied it all ..Not me Gov . He probably organized it all.

pimplyteen: "And to think, we try and dictate to other countries how they should behave" - which other countries have we tried to dictate to?

The Vote on anti fracking was a vote of confidence in the Prime Minister said Government whips who herded the Tory sheep into the ‘No’ lobby.

One notable Conservative abstainer was Liz Truss. (40 Tories abstained).

I believe Truss was so busy pleading with the chief whip not to quit that they both missed the vote. Highly professional politics.
