Anger across the floor of the House of Commons continued for a second day as the battle of Brexit continued to dominate a war of words.
MPs spent hours debating the increasing number of threats politicians and their families were receiving, with demands for Johnson to apologise for some of the provocative languages the opponents believed he was using in his exchanges with them.
Johnson has accused the opposition politicians of sabotaging Brexit by passing a "surrender act", calling for an extension of EU membership.
Labour has insisted it won't support calls for a snap general election until there is a lock in place to prevent Johnson's attempt to leave the EU without a deal.
Johnson met backbench Conservative MPs behind closed doors in Westminster and according to the Daily Telegraph, he said MPs will not be "bullied" into curtailing their language as he refused to stop using the term "surrender act".
Speaker John Bercow tried to calm down the atmosphere in the House of Commons saying the culture in the chamber on Wednesday was toxic.
Johnson defended his use of the expression "surrender act" and he did not respond to calls for him to apologise, but he said, "We do need to bring people together and get this thing (Brexit) done."
Johnson also said he deplored any threats to anybody, particularly female MPs.
Meanwhile Conservative Party managers have started to rearrange the timetable for their annual conference next week in Monday.
