The best bit of the afternoon debate was another female MP reminding the Grim Squeaker that he had previously called her "you stupid woman".

Faux outrage from the Conservatives given they seemed quite happy with this...

[Jim Jones]

Just watched the footage on bbc news, he didn’t say it. But I think he should apologise for not saying it, as it’s true, and lying to Parliament is a serious issue.

Given his corpulence - wasn't he just saying "Subway for sandwich"??

...isn't it ironic, the UK has more public and private CCTV than any other State on Earth - and the politicians are still daft enough to be caught out in the Lower House...durrrr....

[Korenwolf]

No, JC didn't say it, just compare here...

1.She's stupid
2. She's a woman
What's the problem?

[cockney steve]

She has, for all her failings, got the measure of him.
he said,of course, "Astute Woman"

[Genghis the Engineer]

Is it me?, but...

The word "stupid" is mildly offensive - but neither "woman " nor "people" are other than descriptive.

Also I really couldn't care less about what Jeremy Corbyn muttered under his breadth - and am far more concerned about his (in?)competence as leader of Her Majesty's opposition.

Is he less competent than his opposition? He might have a point!

If it had been (for example) Philip Hammond to whom JC had been referring, would he have been likely to have referred to his gender?

Women have to endure harassment on a daily basis and it’s not acceptable. There’s a big difference between a man dressed as Santa ringing a bell and telling Michael Gove that he’ll get no presents and this

[rogerb]

I hope this disrespectful behaviour doesn't gather momentum in public office.

[Rob P]

I see what you did there

Nothing wrong with Corbyn channeling Arthur Lowe. They both qualify at about the same level for leadership of the country.

So do men... especially if they are in the habit of saying "stupid" things!

It was disrespectful, but not sexist, any more than if he had said "stupid man" to Philip Hammond (and yes I think it's equally likely be would have said this). Arguably factual, but not sexist.

If JC had said "bluddy women", I could see a valid sexism argument.

Society does increasingly seem to like inferring intent and offence where very often, none exists. However I'm relieved that all the women I have spoken to have just rolled their eyes at the hysteria.

[Chris Martyr]

This old misogyny malarkey has become really quite popular in the last few months hasn't it ?..

I'm sure that all the non-PC contributors here will join me in a toast :

2018 . The Year of the Misogynist . [ ]

Maybe he was talking about Onasanya?
