Text

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I think that Mr Burrows is misleading the House. He posted a tweet a few days ago about the nastiness of the language that is being used. That is coming from the man who described Sinn Féin as a cancer on society. If he is describing Sinn Féin as a cancer, he is also describing the people who vote for Sinn Féin as a cancer. So, stop the hypocrisy, Jon. We see you.
