Conservative MP Victoria Atkins faced criticism for interrupting and heckling Environment Secretary Steve Reed during a parliamentary debate, leading to the deputy speaker rebuking her for her behavior. Atkins, shadow health secretary, was described as behaving 'abominably' for trying to intervene while Reed was discussing Labour's plans. Despite Atkins' attempt to get answers for farmers, her actions were condemned by the speaker and other MPs, with calls for appropriate action to be taken. The incident occurred during a debate focusing on planning, green belt, and rural affairs, highlighting tensions between parties in the Commons. Atkins' office defended her actions, stating she stood up for farmers and rural areas, even if it led to admonishment from the chair.
