Labour has been accused of 'gutter politics' and criticised by its own MPs after posting an ad on Twitter
"Disgraceful comments by Braverman over the weekend has triggered an appalling fight into the gutter.
"Sir Keir Starmer has rightly identified that the public want to see politicians act with respect, dignity, and decency. He can start by pulling this ad from circulation and issuing an immediate apology." The bill is being sponsored by Plaid Cymru MP Liz Saville Roberts while over 200,000 people have signed a petition backing it.
"We would introduce a law to require that political communications are based on honesty and truth and to ensure that breaches of the founding principles of our democracy - accountability, respect, and toleration - can be investigated and acted upon," she said.
