Has Lord Tebbit ever gone on public record with his views about John McDonnell's past links to the IRA and the comments he made about killing Thatcher and bombing people? If he has I've missed it, but he must surely harbour some strong feelings towards the shadow chancellor.

John McDonnell is not in the past, unfortunately, he's shadow chancellor.

Tory former Cabinet minister Norman Tebbit, who was wounded in the 1984 bombing of the Grand Hotel in Brighton, disapproved of the move given that Mr McDonnell had to apologise for saying that IRA members deserved to be "honoured", and that he would like to go back in time and kill Margaret Thatcher.

"His comments about the IRA, the Royal Family, and wanting to assassinate Margaret Thatcher should all disqualify him from the position," Lord Tebbit told the Daily Mail.

Thank you Invicta. Amazingly restrained from Tebbit given the circumstances.
