Mr Bryant told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It was very aggressive, very angry, there was a lot of shouting, there was a lot of pointing, gesticulating, there was at least one hand on another MP, and to me that was clear bullying, intimidation."
He added: "I saw a whole swathe of MPs effectively pushing one member straight through the door and I've seen photographic evidence of one MP's hand on another."Mr Bryant, who published a photo of the chaos, said it “looked like bullying” and called for an inquiry.He added: “There was a bunch of Conservative members obviously completely uncertain whether they were allowed to vote with Labour.“At least one member was physically pulled through the door into the voting lobby.
