Come on Corbyn. If you're going to send a bunch of columnists at the Times or the Telegraph into pearl-clutching paroxysm *anyway* you may as well go for it and call her an immigrant-hating, fox-hunting, misogynist-supporting, human-rights-opposing, wheat-ruining motherfucker https://t.co/W1GGnvjwxW

ok I will allow up to two (2) hours of "stupid woman" chat but afterwards we have to go back to [gestures vaguely towards the country being broken in pretty much every single meaningful way]

I just showed the footage to my one year old, and she said, “The derogatory words uttered by the Leader of the Opposition are obvious to all and sundry. You’d have to be in cahoots with Labour’s high command to deny that he said them. Now where’s my fucking dummy, you prick?”

Naturally, Piers Morgan felt he had to make a pronouncement.
If Corbyn persists in claiming he didn't say 'stupid woman', when we can all see he did, why should we believe anything else he says ever again?

Twitter user, @mel_giancarlo, served him this savage return.
Trump averages 6 lies per day and you still leap to his defence, and even offered to work for him. Suddenly found your moral compass with Corbyn?
And writer Jim Felton said this:

Lip-readers were slightly divided, but most supported Corbyn’s claim.
SO @jeremycorbyn absolutely does not say #stupidwoman he says 'stupid people'. My qualifications, deaf for nearly half a century, and I am also a qualified Lipreading Teacher (amongst other things). If you want to know why, read this thread. 1/6

Finally, comedy genius Kathy Burke thought it was all moot.
