Esther McVey has accused John McDonnell of inciting violence against her, saying his “lynching” comments made it unsafe for her to walk the streets of her constituency.

He should resign.

How's she keep her young looks

The Joy of Sadness:

While I don’t condone any threat of violence, McVey’s actions in the DWP have compromised the safety and well-being of hundreds of thousands. She is not the victim here. He should apologise for his words. But she should apologise for her actions, resign, and leave politics.

A gentler kinder politics

Good

Sounds like she should refer the matter to the police in that case

However much a shambles the Tories are in over brexit just thank God that corbyn and McDonnell are not in power. The thought of those terrorist appeasers in charge of our armed/security forces is chilling.

Hes a thug and some of his speeches clearly incite violence. No question.

GillJames54 just normal shadow cabinet behaviour.

not really the fabian way

no sympathy. your lies about universal credit led to DEATHS

EstherMcVey1 johnmcdonnellMP ipsaUK metpoliceuk UKLabour Conservatives UKParliament He should face charges or a standards review. It’s comments like his that could promote violence against any politicians. He is a very dangerous man, just like his boss jeremycorbyn !

SirBasilBrush She’s hot.

her 'work' at the DWP did that.

Lynching is too strong a word because it implies trial by mob leading to hanging. Politics needs to cleanup its act and start leading by example and show a bit of humility. If this was deemed a homophobic or racist tweet he would have been forced to grovel and apology.

Never trust a Tory and their propaganda

Her policies compromised her safety. Esther, you need to take a long hard look at yourself!

The IRA was a terrorist group of criminals who cowardly attacked innocents. If sympathiser McDonnell ever gets into power it would be a complete travesty

Mc Donald disgusting man lover off terrorist he will never be in NO 10 nor Corbyn in NO 10. If May goes there will be Temp PM no GE

My take on this is no matter what people think of EstherMcVey1 consider first whether you'd want that said/ repeated in public even as a veiled threat against your wife/daughter/loved one. johnmcdonnellMP has a big audience, his words were simply wrong & the apology is owed.

I disagree with McVey profoundly. However I felt McDonnell should have faced criminal charges for incitement to violence. His comments were completely unacceptable.

In the UK it is right that, you know, more people are visiting - as you would expect - going to foodbanks' That compromised her safety

SirBasilBrush Its the way of a Bully. Lies & Deceit are methods included

Is anyone surprised that the man who thinks that the IRA should be 'honoured for forcing Britain to the negotiation table' is flippant in inciting violence? Labour has become a byword for hating the UK.
