Resort MP invites Labour counterpart to 'step outside' during Commons row
A clearly irritated Paul Maynard attacked Labour MPs for constantly giving a 'running verbal commentary' on Tory MPs' speeches on issues such as disability employment.
But the Opposition's Angela Rayner protested while sat on Labour's frontbench, implying that Tories do the same during her party's speeches, and had already done so in the current debate.

"I listened very patiently and quietly."
As the interruptions continued, the fed-up politician continued: "Look, I'm not asking to have a conversation with you, I'm asking you to listen to my speech.
"I had to patiently listen to the shadow secretary of state, I did not engage in a running commentary."
After Ms Rayner continued to talk back while seated, Mr Maynard pointed to the door and said: "Look, if you wish to step outside and argue with me now then we can do so."
