That well-known bastion of fairness and reason, The Daily Express, has published a front page containing a veiled threat. Actually, its not particularly veiled. This is what it looks like.
These 14 reactions pretty much say it all.

Are we ever going to move onto the “actual fucking details” part of brexit or do we move straight from the “vaguely threatening wankily-typeset jingoistic slogans on flags” stage straight to the final “alright, wheres my cancer medication and food gone” phase? pic.twitter.com/7GaazrcYbj

This pathetic fucking wet diarrhoea fart of mindless jingoism and cunt-pleasing soundbites, splattered all over the fetid fucking lavatory bowl of the Union Flag to be lapped up by nasty, slack-jawed bigots who get a stiffy at the very mention of WW2.

Dear Sun and Express. This British Parliamentary sovereignty you crave involves MPs voting according to their consciences. Sometimes theyll disagree with you. Thats not betrayal: its called democracy pic.twitter.com/qTHdnQ0hdr

I mean, surely this is as close to a death threat as you can publish?
One of our hardworking MPs was murdered in the streets of her home town for her political views not long ago.

the only thing the Daily Express loves more than pretending Brexit protects the traditions and sovereignty of the UK is LOUDLY AND ANGRILY THREATENING THE TRADITIONS AND SOVEREIGNTY OF THE UK pic.twitter.com/BKrR1t1WPu

The Sun and The Express are basically drunken football hooligans who have accidentally stumbled into the last night of the proms. pic.twitter.com/icEw8rfwbf

1. The Daily Express is now owned by the same company as the Mirror
2. Its editor worked at the Sunday Mirror until earlier this year
3. He apologised for “downright offensive” front pages in April
4. It is *elected MPs* who vote tomorrow
5. This front page is a fucking disgrace pic.twitter.com/aUp1Ca56wC— James Ball (@jamesrbuk) June 11, 2018

On the day Jack Renshaw pleads guilty to planning to murder a Labour MP with a machete, the Daily Express does this.
Im all for freedom of the press, but this is incitement to violence and has to be stopped. pic.twitter.com/6BnITomRCo

UPDATE
And here is Labour MP Chuka Umunna talking about it in the House of Commons just now.
Chuka Umunna Point of Order – The front page of today's Daily Express is a threat pure and simple & an attempt to intimidate & threaten members ahead of the #EUWithdrawalBill votes today.#StopBrexit #FBPE pic.twitter.com/5wnWGTjGrP
