The only 5 takedowns you need of the man who called out an MP for baring her shoulder

Everybody’s heard the jokes about turning back the clock by 47 years when Brexit happens, largely because everybody’s made those jokes, but we were still surprised to see the evidence this week.

When the Labour MP for Batley and Spen, Tracy Brabin, appeared in the House of Commons wearing an off-the-shoulder garment of some sort, she was pulled up on it by Twitter user, Lawrence Dovey.

His tweet became a focus for the Can’t Mind My Own Business Society, or as it’s also known – Twitter. A lot of people agreed with Mr Dovey.

But many more felt he’d overstepped the mark by a considerable margin, and we very much enjoyed these responses.

Ever the parliamentary hopeful, Count Binface had a different take on what is and isn’t appropriate.

While @GaryInScotland reminded everyone of other standards of behaviour.

Tracy Brabin, however, did what any good parliamentarian would do, and addressed a number of issues with one succinct rebuttal.

Surprisingly, for Twitter at least, Tracy got an apology.

Sort of.
