I'm sorry that Aberdeen is more important than the MPs that are elected.
Just for the record, every member of parliament is equal in their security to me.
I'm sorry that Sky News is more important, rather than the members of both sides. It is appalling treatment.
It is shameful that this announcement was not made to the House first and it is an immense discourtesy to the House that the Secretary of State did not come here to make the statement.
