Jess Phillips criticizes Tory MP for missing debate while in hospital

Jess Phillips criticized Conservative MP Alicia Kearns for missing a parliamentary debate, not knowing Kearns was in the hospital. Kearns responded, stating her absence was due to medical reasons and that her colleagues were aware of her situation. Kearns had previously mentioned needing hospital treatment for complications during her pregnancy. The exchange has sparked further comments from other MPs, including Claire Coutinho, who expressed support for Kearns. The incident follows Phillips facing backlash from Elon Musk over her stance on a grooming gangs inquiry. Phillips has since expressed concerns for her safety due to the online criticism she received.
