Tory MP Nadine Dorries called John Major a ‘traitor’ for warning about the impact of Brexit and calling for a free vote on Britain’s exit in Parliament.

The poundshop Katie Hopkins and former I’m A Celebrity contestant was talking about this clip of Major and Margaret Thatcher back in the day.
Here’s EU-federalist plotter John Major having the smile wiped off his face by Maggie Thatcher’s comments in 1990.
Watch as Maggie exposes and trashes the political EU federal project, causing Major to squirm in his seat. pic.twitter.com/qZbfImWRG6— Dancing Palace Guard (@DancerGuard) February 28, 2018
But Major’s expression was of less interest to people than Dorries’ language.
Here the only responses you need to read.

Nadine I appreciate that we may disagree passionately on many things, but please as a minimum can we at least agree that it is unacceptable for Members of Parliament and indeed anybody to use the term ‘traitor’ when referring to somebody that they disagree with? https://t.co/OJyEEVRzhe

Do you not think calling politicians who disagree with you “traitors” is a bit, you know, absolutely fucking stupid abhorrent and a tad fascist? https://t.co/ySRHWzMWSS

No. But I think you are a bit rude and foul mouthed.

I think using the word “traitor” to describe a fellow politician who opposes your viewpoint is much worse than using the f word. You know your colleagues have been called “traitors” on death threats, right?https://t.co/DceuXlzFHB

I thought the Conservatives had pledged to end abuse of political opponents? Your use of the word “traitor” is disgraceful and unbecoming of an elected representative.

Nadine Dorries said she’d give up twitter for Lent. Here she’s popped back in to accuse a politician of being a traitor for having a different view to her, just like Jesus would have wanted.https://t.co/ySRHWzMWSS

It’s impossible for me to comprehend how a Member of Parliament can refer to a former Prime Minister and one of Britain’s most distinguished elder Staresman as a “Traitor”. In these febrile times we are entitled to expect better from those who represent us in Parliament

Sorry to bang on, but the moment the word “traitor” becomes synonymous with “someone who opposes the government viewpoint” we’re in big trouble. Would you mind deleting this @NadineDorries so you’re not contributing to the toxification of politics?https://t.co/ZG63kpZDbC

What kind of MP calls a former Prime Minister a Traitor simply because he eloquently pointed out the dangers of a poorly planned policy? You are the worst MP in Britain & that is quite an achievement.
