Tories blast Labour MPs who turned up and proceeded to condemn her record.
A show of unity by Britain's three main political parties over Margaret Thatcher since her death ended when Labour MPs launched strong attacks on her record during Commons tributes to her.
Leader of the Opposition Ed Miliband won praise from Conservative MPs for a statesmanlike speech in which he praised the former Prime Minister as a "unique and towering figure".
But he disagreed with much of what she did, saying that mining communities felt angry and abandoned, while gay and lesbian people felt stigmatised by her measures such as section 28, which prevented councils from "promoting" homosexuality.
There were angry scenes when Labour MPs condemned the impact of Thatcher's policies on their constituencies, and the rise in unemployment to more than three million while she was in office. They were jeered by furious Tories, who accused Labour members of breaching Commons rules for such a session of tributes after the death of a senior politician. But John Bercow, the Speaker, rejected the Tory complaints.
