If this incident was in any way drink related I wonder if they powers that be will decide that increasing the price our MP's pay for alcohol is the answer....

How many institutions/organisations have a bar on the premises?:confused:

Perhaps Cameron should get the House in order and alcohol consumption down among MPs before wagging a finger at the Friday/Saturday binge drinkers and the sale of cheap booze to the ordinary members of the public? ;)

Witnesses said that Mr Joyce, 51, MP for Falkirk, headbutted and punched the Conservative MP Stuart Andrew, MP for Pudsey, and assaulted several other Tory MPs and a Labour MP, according to the political website PoliticsHome .

The website said that a witness claimed that Mr Joyce “just started lashing out at people� in the Stranger’s Bar, which is reserved for MPs and their guests.

An eye-witness told PoliticsHome that Mr Joyce pushed a Tory MP and then started punching some of the other Conservative members sitting at the back of the bar. Drinks were also thrown over other bar patrons.
