Esther McVey said there’d been “nasal gazing” over Brexit and everyone nose she’s wrong

We’re very much in favour of women having an equal voice in politics, as in every other walk of life, so it’s always good to hear one of the 208 female MPs in Westminster speaking up for this ideal, but we’re not sure Esther McVey is doing anyone any favours with this appeal.

It’s not necessarily that she’s appealing for more Brexiters to step forward, because who wouldn’t want to hear more about how easy it is to deal with the Irish Border? It isn’t even that Esther McVey wanted women who had been raped to be forced to disclose it in benefits claims so they wouldn’t lose payments for any resulting children and is therefore not a great advocate for women in any way.

No – the reason this clip isn’t a great advert is that Esther McVey has made one hugely embarrassing error, which you might have missed first time around, but @PropertySpot didn’t.

Why anyone has been nasal gazing is a mystery to us all, but we’re fully behind Ms McVey in wishing it would end.
