Labour Party MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle was ordered to leave the House of Commons for the day after he picked up a ceremonial mace in protest of Prime Minister Theresa May’s decision to delay the vote on her Brexit Deal.
The Brighton Kemptown MP was seen approaching the front of the room and grabbing the ‘antique symbol of parliamentary authority’ from its holder while other MPs shouted “expel him” before John Bercow ordered him to put it back.
Theresa May postponed the parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal, opening up an array of possible outcomes, ranging from a disorderly Brexit no deal to another referendum, on the EU membership.
