Description: Dame Eleanor Laing, the deputy Speaker, has lashed out against Munira Hassam Wilson, a British Liberal Democrat politician, for extreme insults to Tory MPs. It came after Tory MP Lee Anderson had suggested Labour "just don't like foreign names" during debate on the appointment of Lord Lebedev to the Lords. In the Commons MPs are debating on the Labour motion calling for the publication of papers relating to the decision to grant a peerage to the Evening Standard owner Evgeny Lebedev, whose father is a former KGB agent turned oligarch. #EleanorLaing #MuniraWilson #HouseOfCommons
