Good on him. No one else was doing anything.
Quite right too. She was there uninvited intent on causing disruption.
How did she get past security?
Good for him. About time someone dealt with this rabble.
I agree.
If anyone should be in the dock it is those responsible for the appalling lack of security when the Chancellor was in attendance.
Once again I agree. Security was nonexistent.
These protesters are able to get away with so much because their human right to protest would be infringed and anyone trying to stop them would be accused of assault... oh wait a minute that’s just what has happened.

The really simple fact is she wouldn’t have been ‘assaulted or manhandled’ if she hadn’t been there illegally.
Good for him. She could have been carrying a knife.

Sadly, cos of today’s OTT PC world, he’ll probably be forced to resign. I sincerely hope not, otherwise such protestors will feel they can always get away with such intrusions. How else was he supposed to evict her from the room? She and her cause have got the publicity they sought and more. He’s apologised, now she should too. I doubt there’d have been an outcry had the protestor been male or the MP female. But had the protestor been of ethnic origin or had the MP’s hands touched her chest....just imagine the outcry then
This is not a resignation matter and the PM should refuse to accept any such. Pity this guy was not standing for the leadership.
If this had happened a few weeks ago he would be prime minister in waiting .
I totally agree with all the comments. The woman was a trespasser intent on who knows what, armed with spray cans or worse? Mr Field took preemptive action to prevent harm and should be praised not vilified.
Good for him, she should have been put on the floor and hog tied while waiting for the police to take her away where she should then have been prosecuted by the courts and given a 12 month prison sentence suspended for 3 years!
Trespassers should get short shrift - she had no invitation so was trespassing, it always makes me laugh how those who have no problem breaking the law are the first to complain.
These protesters (rabble) are getting away with far too much.
It’s a pity some of the other people in the room didn’t get up and eject a protester each.

Mr. Field has offered a grovelling apology. He shouldn’t need to.

Where on earth was security?
Quite. Why should he apologise for preventing a potentially life-threatening situation? If it had been an ordinary guest nothing much would have been said, but because he is an MP the knives are out.
//Members of the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats have called for the government to suspend or sack the Foreign Office minister for Asia and the Pacific.//

Shameful. Perhaps they might ask themselves how they would have reacted in his place.
Mr Field is a victim of circumstances which arose from a complete failure of security.

It's a bit different to having a milkshake thrown at oneself.

How on earth could this have happened?
Resignation issue...nonsense....he deserves a citation.
Where was security?
Labour (especially female MP's) will just love this.
Some months ago we had a contentious thread about anarchy in the streets of London.......well, this would support that worry.

He was forcibly redirecting her.
