How about resigning? That was disgraceful.

And it’s not the first time either.

I hope he gets sued for libel.

Because he made the comments in the HoC he's covered by Parliamentary Privilege ... which IMO should be revoked.

He made comments outside of it too according to the article

Wouldn't it be slander? Since it was verbally spoken Slander would apply. Libel is regarding written statements.

Either way, I agree with you. It was a disgraceful thing to say and should have consequences.
