Kendall: This Prime Minister demeans the office he holds

Following comments made by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the House of Commons this evening, Cllr David Kendall, Lib Dem Parliamentary candidate for Brentwood & Ongar, said:

"The Prime Minister once again proved he is totally unfit for office.

"He heard the pleas of MPs - many of whom have faced death threats - to moderate his language and yet dismissed their concerns with the same callous bluster that has become his trademark.

"To suggest the best way to honour Jo Cox, an MP who was murdered for what she believed in, was to pass his Brexit deal was sickening and a disgrace.

"The office of Prime Minister is one that should seek to lift our debate and show the best of Parliament. Boris Johnson demeaned that office with his words today, and should apologise immediately for them".
