Imagine having to go on holiday with someone who thinks Mark Field is a hero. Christ. You’d cancel, wouldn’t you. You’d find some excuse. You couldn’t go on holiday with them. You just couldn’t. It’s bad enough sharing a social media platform with them.

Waiting for a Tory MP – hopefully Mark Francois – to defend Mark Field by saying “For all he knew that lady in red could have been Villanelle. Remember, she’s a mistress of disguise – and she has killed lots of men in the past.”

She could have been carrying a shoulder launched missile.

I particularly enjoy the “I know mark Field and he’s a good guy” line of defence. They are always “good guys”, lads. They are magistrates and charity workers and landscape gardeners and karaoke singers. It’s still violence. Confront it, or else you condone it

I am horrified how a MP can show such unmerited aggression and violence against this poor woman, in a public no less, with 100s watching and absolutely no intervention from anyone.
If anyone knows who this woman is please tell so I can help her get legal redress.#markfield https://t.co/Od7E8rDkhL

Mark Field defending himself by saying he acted "instinctively" by assaulting a woman is perhaps not the excuse he thinks it is.

This feels like it should end in a resignation, and a quick one. The message sent if it doesn’t is all too clear. https://t.co/8vheCjd4c4

Wondering why most of the Mark Field footage was silent? Here it is with sound, it's clear the climate protestors were acting peacefully and made their point well, as heard in this footage – then came Field's intervention, in marked contrast to how others handled the women. pic.twitter.com/wE06TmtcUs

To conclude …
This is absolutely unacceptable. https://t.co/5tCXYNEub9
