Commons Leader Jacob Rees-Mogg has labelled the academics refusing to conduct tutorials at Oxford University's Oriel College a "useless bunch".
150 lecturers at the university are refusing to conduct tutorials in protest against Oriel College's decision not to remove the controversial Cecil Rhodes statute.
Rees-Mogg warned "we must not allow this wokeness to happen".
Downing Street has said that students whose teaching at Oriel College has been disrupted by protests over a statue of Cecil Rhodes may be liable for compensation.
