Scottish MP Mhairi Black had the perfect comeback for the troll who told her this
Scottish National Party MP Mhairi Black has a reputation for straight talking, presumably because of occasions like this.
It began when Black, who became the youngest MP ever elected to Westminster in 2015, said this about a tweet (which has since been deleted).
Unionist Twitter is where patter goes to die. https://t.co/SKEAp5sagK

Which prompted someone called James to say this …
When I look at you I instantly think, lesbian https://t.co/SVwuiw0XSs
— James (@JamesThornhill_) December 12, 2018
… and here was the SNP MP’s perfect reply.
Inspiring observational skills you have James. I’m willing to wager that when straight women see you they think nothing at all. https://t.co/fhKxaSqHci

And people loved her for it.
Funny thing is that I and a lot of others just see an inspiring politician.

That's odd James because when I look at you my cervix slams shut like cellar door @MhairiBlack

Don’t we love when men judge us against stereotypes and not by the merit of our work? You are doing amazing work, Mhairi.

As a bairn, James' maw used to tie a pork chop roond his neck so the dog would play with him.
