    Thanks for identifying Edwards. I was thinking that but didn't want to speculate. I'm just in front of them!

    Stopped watching. Two interventions before Monaghan has been allowed to say anything.

    the interventions are so they go down in the record as putting these points which is good demonstrating support but frustrating for us listening to the debate

    Spotted Kerry McCarthy too. She attended at least one ME APPG that I also attended.

    Sharpe has emailed her to say her behaviour is unbecoming of an MP and she tore into him with hear hears from those present - BOOM

    Wow ... Sharpe wrote to Carol Monaghan MP telling her that her behaviour was not becoming of an MP! Crikey. Her response got a hear hear from the room.

    Told Carol Monaghan her behaviour was 'unbecoming of that of an MP'. Wow. In many respects, it's good for Parliamentarians to receive the same slander that ME patients have.

    Surely Sharpe has blown it completely now. How dare he say it's unbecoming of an MP. That is unbecoming of an Oxford professor.
