Now five female Tory MPs are demanding that Labour suspend him from the party:
@AVMitchell2010 – withdraw your tweet now about Pfizer & rapists – hope @Ed_Miliband suspends you from Labour Party for offensive words.

Thoroughly offensive tweet about rapists and USA from Labour MP @AVMitchell2010 . I call on @Ed_Miliband to withdraw the @UKLabour whip.

What a disgusting tweet from @AVMitchell2010: >>>Cameron dare not stop Pfizer because he dare not offend the US in any way.Roll up rapists”

Breathtakingly insensitive choice of phrase by @AVMitchell2010 – 'roll up' his P60
