Jacob Rees-Mogg condemns SNP MP over ‘childish’ Brexit protest
PA
17 December 2020, 3:12 pm
Jacob Rees-Mogg has described the actions of an MP who picked up the parliamentary mace in a Brexit protest as “silly” and “childish”.
The SNP’s Drew Hendry, the party’s business spokesman, was suspended from the Commons on Wednesday after protesting against the UK Internal Market Bill.
As proceedings on the Bill came to a conclusion, Mr Hendry shouted “this is an outrage” and refused to resume his seat, before picking up the parliamentary mace and attempting to walk out.
The mace is the symbol of royal authority and without it neither House can meet or pass laws.
