Hodge: "No, how dare he. How dare he!"

A rebel Conservative Unionist MP gave an address in the Chamber today after the Chancellor's speech to Parliament. Chair of the Conservative Way Forward Tendency (Faction), Margaret Hodge MP said the following:
"Mr Speaker, I'm sorry but I will not sit down following that awful, awful address by the Chancellor. The cheek the honorable member has is beyond belief and yes, Mr Speaker, I am very offended as will most of the nation. The Chancellor has just said, quote, 'The Government does not condemn the governments of Cantonos, Crotanos and other members of the Alliance of the East.'
What?! Is he being serious?! My two sons are out fighting in some place, I don't know where, I don't know how long and I certainly cannot tell if I'll ever see them again. Yet he has the cheek to dare say he does not condemn the Alliance of the East? No, how dare he. How dare he! He has basically and without reservation slapped every single face of every single man on the front, fighting against the Red Federation and the evil which is plaguing the world.
He dares tell my sons, and my friends allies, and the allies of this Empire, that we will not condemn giving in? Surrender? So what are they fighting for?! Or is it double standards? Is it just us fighting this war, is no one else good enough? Why don't we just snuff our noses and negotiate peace?
He needs to condemn the Alliance of the East, very quickly and apologize for his reckless, offensive speech."
