Johnson tasteless, reprehensible – sister

THE sister of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has condemned his rhetoric as “tasteless” and “reprehensible” as he faced a storm about his language in the British Parliament.

Rachel Johnson said she did not recognize the version of her brother that spoke in the House of Commons on Wednesday evening.

Boris Johnson faced sharp criticism for his language as he addressed members of parliament on Wednesday, their first day back after his controversial suspension was ruled illegal by the Supreme Court.

Johnson repeatedly denounced legislation that would force him to delay Brexit if he can’t agree a deal with the European Union, calling it a “surrender bill.” And he dismissed as “humbug” the concerns of an MP who asked him to moderate his language given the politically motivated murder three years ago of a Labor Party lawmaker, Jo Cox.

The Prime Minister provoked particular anger when he urged lawmakers to honor Cox’s memory by backing the government on Brexit.

“My brother is using words like ‘surrender’ and ‘capitulation’ as if the people standing in the way of the blessed will of the people, as

in 2016, should be hung, drawn, quartered, tarred, and feathered,” Rachel Johnson told Sky News. “I think that is highly reprehensible.”

“I think it was particularly tasteless for those who are grieving a mother, MP and friend to say the best way to honor her memory is to deliver the thing she and her family campaigned
