British Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman said on Monday that there was no place for personal vitriol in politics, after weekend media reports where an anonymous critic said: "assassination is in the air".
Sunday newspapers reported unnamed lawmakers saying May should "bring her own noose" when she meets parliamentary colleagues on Wednesday, and that the moment where a knife would be "stuck in her front and twisted," was coming.
"I don't intend to dignify those specific anonymous comments with a response," the spokesman said.
"What I would say is that the Prime Minister has always been very clear that we must set a tone in public discourse which is neither dehumanising nor derogatory, the personal vitriol has no place in our politics."
