Jeremy Corbyn was told to "sit down and shut up" as he criticised the Iraq War in a speech to the House of Commons after the publication of the Chilcot report.

Labour MP for Dudley North Ian Austin heckled the Labour leader, telling him to "shut up" and shouting "you're a disgrace".

Speaker of the House, John Bercow, interrupted proceedings and said: "The Right Honorable gentleman is entitled to be heard with courtesy."

1. I'm not a fan of Corbyn, but if there's one reason where it's illegitimate

to criticize him, this is it.

[Ash_F]

2. What a great speech

A real leader.

[Kelvin Mace]

3. Well, Blair has an (L) after his name

and it is the height of disloyalty to criticize him or find fault with him in any way. The (L) ends all arguments and makes those daring to find fault arrogant purists, who let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and shows that they really just want the Tories to win.

7. sounds familiar doesn't it.

I have read the same thing here.

9. Just Like Here

It's why so many are leaving the two major parties.

[Democat]

12. As long as you're happy with Trump and Bush

Then by all means, don't support Clinton and the Democrats.

[billhicks76]

15. Stupid Statement

I thought you call yourself a Democrat? So if you're against the Iraq War you're a Trump and Bush supporter? Did you support the Iraq War? That would mean you supported Bush not me.

[truebrit71]

22. I just don't understand that kind of logic.

...

[cprise]

11. Like "Thou shalt not call out other Democrats" now in force here.

[Kelvin Mace]

14. Call out Democrats? Certainly not!

They have a "D" after their name and I must render unto them complete unquestioning loyalty.

16. You have a problem with that

take it up with Skinner. His site, his rules.

[Nihil]

18. I suggest you change your DU name for the sake of honesty. (n/t)

[LoverOfLiberty]

20. I suggest you not worry about my user name

His site, his rules. I respect that.

[LuvNewcastle]

4. Do we have anyone in Congress

who would do what Corbyn did? I seriously doubt it.

[Ash_F]

10. Sanders

[Javaman]

13. That's why certain people don't want him to go to the convention. nt

[truebrit71]

17. Yup.

....

[Festivito]

5. How about those who made no money off this war express disapproval. ... silence ... eom

[liberalhistorian]

6. Well, well, well, it looks like the

arrogant Blairites in the L party simply cannot handle the damned truth. They're as bad as their idol, worse, in fact, because they're still (unfortunately) in power.

[T_i_B]

23. In power?

I think you will find that the exact opposite is the case. The Blairites have either refused to serve under corbyn in the first place, or walked out of the shadow cabinet (along with a good chunk of non-Blairites) in protest at Corbyn's weak, inept leadership.

8. remember no criticism of anybody's iraq war vote here

[reddread]

19. who posted this Republican talking point "news story"?

[ozone_man]

21. Some people really don't want to hear the truth.

Thankfully we have leaders like Bernie willing to speak it.

[reddread]

24. pretty clear choice

I always found government unsuitable for the power of life and death.
we can see clearly what they do with it.
we are culpable.
