If you want to speak of "raw abuse", or "lowering the tone", look at what the Johnson cabal is doing to the UK, its standards, and its democracy.
Your criticism is misguided, and aimed at the wrong perpetrators.
And your patronising last sentence should have been beneath you.

You don't get to defeat the Johnson Gang by standing aside and wagging your finger like some ineffectual headmaster.
And that's what we're after: getting shot of them.
Perhaps you are not bothered either way?

@MichaelLCrick Additionally, it's not a "kick in the teeth" for Hoyle. Who knows better than you, it seems, that what cannot be said in the Chamber can indeed be said outside.
So, in case there is any doubt: in my view also, Johnson is a coward, and a liar.

@MichaelLCrick Finally, Ken Clarke has just said today:
"We have relied for too long on a Victorian ideal of what we used to call decent chaps doing the right thing to keep our constitutional principles intact...."
We're well beyond the "good chaps" stuff. Pity you don't seem to realise that.
