You seem to be the only one who saw that.
I saw the bridge of a nose and nostrils.

My Sister was one of these, but when we saw her a few months ago, like your friends, she had started to see him for what he was.

I did not vote for him in either Labour Leadership election, being a political nerd I tend to be aware of backbenchers who protest a lot. The problem is that even if you get rid of Corbyn you still have to contend with McDonnell and co, alongside any handpicked Jeremy successor. They want to make the take over of the party from the left as strong as Blair made the takeover from the right. I'd vote for David Lammy if he ran for the Labour Leadership. I doubt David Miliband is going to renter Labour politics anytime soon.

I suspect Theresa has had a laugh at this.

What astounds me more than anything, is the "extreme offence" taken at this comment isn't because of being called stupid, but being called a woman. It's genuinely comical to have heard it on the radio, some other bencher defending Jezza, and Jezza himself stating that he said "stupid people", and May complaining of misogynistic and sexist language. I know she doesn't really look like one, but at the end of the day she IS a woman, so I don't see the problem? I doubt anyone would have made a single complaint about the comment had Jezza, or May for that matter, called a make bencher a stupid man.

This is what annoys me about all this gender-related tosh; stop being offended because you *can* and only be offended when you *should*. And being called a woman - when claim to be, identify as, live as, and actually ARE a woman - is not one of times you *should* be offended.

Perhaps you should be aware that it's generally a deprecating comment like "stupid black" would be whereas "stupid white" isn't, or "stupid gay" vs "stupid straight"

It was a grumpy outburst and yes, as party leader he should have been able to control himself but he is human.
