Surrender, betrayal, traitors. Boris Johnson lambasted for 'inflammatory' language. Did the PM go too far?

Boris Johnson is facing calls to 'moderate his language' after being accused of stoking dangerous divisions about Brexit during angry exchanges in the Commons yesterday.
Some senior Conservative MPs - including a cabinet minister - have urged him to pick his words carefully after he accused his opponents of surrender.
And he didn't stop there with his attack on the opposition - accusing them of betraying the referendum.
Is this all part of the rough and tumble of politics? Or is this a step too far and inappropriate language for a politician - especially the Prime Minister?
