Britain's parliamentary speaker John Bercow told lawmakers Thursday to stop treating each other as enemies after a day when several criticized the rhetoric of Prime Minister Boris Johnson for deepening division in the country.
"Yesterday the House [of Commons] did itself no credit. There was an atmosphere in the chamber worse than any I have known in the 22 years in the house ... The culture was toxic," Bercow said in Parliament.
"May I just ask ... colleagues please to lower the decibel level and to treat each other as opponents and not as enemies."
