Speaker of the House John Bercow has described the scenes as 'toxic' and the worst atmosphere he's ever known.
Lawmakers were initially aggrieved after the U.K.'s government refused to say sorry over its prorogation of Parliament.
The House of Commons – Britain's lower house of Parliament – resumed activities Wednesday after the U.K. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Conservative government had acted unlawfully to suspend its sitting. Addressing Parliament, Cox quickly dismissed any notion the government would be repentant, instead booming to the House that that opposition MP's were "a disgrace" for refusing to grant Johnson the snap election he craves.
"To come here with his barrister's bluster to obfuscate the truth - a man like him, a party like this and a leader like this to talk about morals and morality. It's a disgrace." Parliament, Johnson said was "refusing to deliver on the priorities of the people" while Labour were "determined to throw out the referendum result, whatever the cost."
Johnson caused gasps and shouting by responding to McGovern that the best way to honor Cox's life was to deliver the Brexit vote.
