Labor MP Jess Phillips shared a death threat she had received this week on Twitter

On Thursday, Ms Phillips demanded that Prime Minister Boris Johnson apologise for mocking MPs who said the language he used about Brexit was making them unsafe.

The Prime Minister was widely criticized for describing laws designed to stop a no-deal Brexit as a “surrender act”.

When MP Paula Sherriff said many MPs were subject to death threats and abuse, and highlighted the murder of MP Jo Cox by a right-wing fanatic in 2016, Mr Johnson dismissed her comments as “humbug”.

Ms Phillips was joined in speaking out against the Prime Minister’s words by MPs from across the House.

Amber Rudd condemned her party’s leader as “immoral” and said he is using language that “incites violence” overBrexit.

The former Home Secretary lashed out at the Prime Minister for pitching the Brexit debate into a ‘Parliament v the people’ showdown.

Shetold the Evening Standard:“The sort of language I’m afraid we’ve seen more and more of coming out from Number 10 does incite violence.

“It’s the sort of language people think legitimises a more aggressive approach and sometimes violence.”

The MP said she was heckled by a group of people on a Tube platform after Wednesday’s debate who chanted: “We voted Leave, can you hear us Amber?”

Criticism of the PM’s words also came from the benches of the Question Time audience last night.

One woman confronted the chairman of the Conservative Party with a passionate speech onBoris Johnsoncreating “fear and incitement”.

The Question Time audience member pulled no punches

The woman left James Cleverly stony-faced on the flagship debate show as she insistedLaborMPs were right to draw parallels with murdered Jo Cox.

“I think Jo Cox’s name needs to be brought up,” she said, two days after Mr Johnson said delivering Brexit would honor the murdered MP’s memory.

“Because she was killed because of right-wing extremism.

“And the inflammatory language that was used yesterday – firstly by the Attorney General whose speech got more and more inflammatory I felt, he performed to Parliament rather than delivering his speech. And he didn’t apologize.
