New political party?

[Oracle]

I have two observations.
First , highlighting or comparing the use of word "traitor" on few occasions, implies a lack of study of just how nasty , vitriolic, relentless, and ubiquitous the language used by militant left has been (and momentum in particular) against allthose MPs it considers "traitors". The word traitor is pleasant in comparison.

Secondly. The UK is clearly negotiating with an institution intent on doing it harm as confirmed by both the rhetoric, and actions ,of those representing EU which has been shameful. The backstop has disturbing parallels with the annexation of Austria and grants EU powers never granted by any country that was not first the loser of an armed conflict.
So the EU is more than arguably an "enemy" in dictionary definition. In any war any faction fighting or debilitating our own forces or assisting the enemy is certainly treason. So the language is strong but " traitor" does have some rational justification in the context it was used.

I seem to remember Tory remain MPs being called traitors, it's amazing how short people's memory can be.

A Conservative MEP has come under fire for suggesting that Britain’s Treason Act should be updated to apply to citizens who are “working undemocratically against UK through extreme EU loyalty”.

and he is not the only one.
