Make MPs accountable for their actions in the Commons
When a male MP woofed at MP Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh in the House of Commons, it highlighted the despicable behaviour all so prevalent. Sexism, harassment, and behaviour that would be embarrassing within a school classroom.
It is time that the behaviour in the Commons was examined and enforced.
