The Commons Leader branded members of the opposition party ‘plastic patriots’ during a heated business questions session on Thursday.
Penny Mordaunt has sparked a row in the House of Commons after she accused Labour frontbenchers of sneering at the St George’s Cross flag.
Ms Mordaunt told MPs: “While they criticise and sneer at those that do not celebrate St George’s flag, they are allowing some of them to occupy the frontbench. The Brent Central MP accused Ms Mordaunt of misleading the House, adding: “It’s a matter of fact that this side of the House celebrated St George’s Day, we all put it on our social media.
Ms Powell said: “The truth is, no matter how much their mayors and candidates hide behind their green and purple branding, there’s no escaping the fact that they are standing on the woeful record of this Tory Government. Ms Mordaunt replied: “Despite what says, we have now become the fourth largest exporter in the world.”
The Rhondda MP said: “It’s standard practice in schools, universities, the NHS, local government and in government departments, if somebody is arrested for or charged with a sexual, violent crime, that there will be a risk assessment made following, potentially, if necessary, by an exclusion or suspension from work pending further investigations and if necessary a trial.
