Johnson put down

Notts MP Anna Soubry was lashed down by Alan Johnson in the Commons last night.

After she’d made an intervention which the former Home Secretary thought had gone on too long, Johnson said: “That went on a bit.”

Then when she tried to intervene again he simply said: “I will not give way again. It was tedious last time, and it would be tedious again.”

Ouch. Johnson always seemed like such a gentleman in Government, but he seems to have grown some thorns in opposition.
