Home Secretary James Cleverly has conceded to using “unparliamentary” language in reference to Labour MP Alex Cunningham, according to a close source. The admission follows Cleverly’s initial denial of calling the Stockton North constituency a derogatory term during a question from Cunningham in the Commons.
The source stated on Thursday that Cleverly had indeed referred to Cunningham as a “sh** MP” and offered an apology for the use of inappropriate language. Cunningham, however, refuted the claim, asserting that it was “simply not true” and expressing disbelief.
