Boris Johnson is facing calls to 'moderate his language' after being accused of stoking dangerous divisions about Brexit during angry exchanges in the Commons yesterday.
Some senior Conservative MPs - including a cabinet minister - have urged him to pick his words carefully after he accused his opponents of surrender.
And he didn't stop there with his attack on the opposition - accusing them of betraying the referendum.
