Jeremy Corbyn accused of mouthing ‘stupid woman’ at Theresa May during PMQs
Accusations of "misogyny" were levelled at Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn after he apparently mouthed the words "stupid woman" at the Prime Minister during PMQs. The Labour leader was shown saying something under his breath after Mrs May likened his attempt to force a confidence vote in her earlier this week to a Christmas pantomine. Tory former minister Sir Patrick McLoughlin used a point of order during PMQs to accuse Mr Corbyn of having "muttered" the words. It brought condemnation from Tory MPs, with party chairman Brandon Lewis urging him to either "apologise or clarify" what he had mouthed. The Commons descended into uproar as MPs attempted to get Speaker John Bercow to take action against Mr Corbyn, who had left the chamber, and bring him back to explain his remarks. Cries of "shame" and "disgraceful" were heard from the Tory benches. Sir Patrick added: "Would it not be appropriate for him to come back into this chamber and apologise?" However there was a suggestion that Mr Corbyn … [Read more...] about Jeremy Corbyn accused of mouthing ‘stupid woman’ at Theresa May during PMQs

Jeremy Corbyn appeared to say ‘stupid woman’ towards Theresa May at PMQs
Jeremy Corbyn appeared to say 'stupid woman' towards Theresa May at Prime Minister's Questions. The Labour leader appeared to mouth the words at the end of their PMQs clash, where Mr Corbyn had accused Mrs May of "dithering" over her Brexit plan. While audio of Mr Corbyn's comment was not recorded on the House of Commons' microphone system, he was in full view of TV cameras at the time. Conservative Party chairman Brandon Lewis said on Twitter: "Will jeremycorbyn apologise or clarify exactly what he was saying? Looks shocking on the film, unacceptable in any environment." It came after a fraught exchange, in wich Mr Corbyn reminded Mrs May the next meeting of the European Council was not until March - two months after the rescheduled meaningful vote is supposed to take place. He said: "She will be bringing back the same deal she pulled last week - it's an intolerable situation and she is simply playing for time." Mrs May said her "achievements" with EU negotiators would be set out in … [Read more...] about Jeremy Corbyn appeared to say ‘stupid woman’ towards Theresa May at PMQs
Corbyn blasts May’s ‘criminal waste of money’ on No Deal Brexit in furious PMQs
Theresa May today accused Theresa May of a "criminal waste of money" over No Deal Brexit in a furious PMQs clash. The Labour leader tore into the PM for ploughing another £2bn into preparations for a chaotic exit on March 29. And in an angry exchange at Prime Minister's Questions, he was accused of mouthing the words "stupid woman" at his Tory opposite number. Mrs May has ramped up no-deal plans with 3,500 troops on standby in a bid to persuade MPs to back her deal. But Mr Corbyn accused her of trying to "blackmail" the Commons - adding MPs could simply block no deal. And he blasted the PM after she refused to guarantee she will not delay a Commons vote on her deal yet again. "What the Prime Minister is doing is a criminal waste of money," he told MPs. "The Prime Minister is recklessly running down the clock all in a shameful attempt to make her own bad deal look like the lesser of two evils." With rising crime, 20,000 fewer police officers on the street and 100,000 NHS vacancies, … [Read more...] about Corbyn blasts May’s ‘criminal waste of money’ on No Deal Brexit in furious PMQs
