Here’s the Foreign Secretary mouthing “stupid woman” at Labour MP Cathy Jamieson at PMQs today after she questioned his motives:
Fiona Donnell has weighed in this afternoon, saying:
“William Hague has not denied calling Cathy Jamieson a ‘stupid woman’ and his mealy mouthed excuses to the House were completely inadequate. William Hague should immediately and publicly apologise for making these patronising comments. After David Cameron told a woman MP to ‘calm down dear’ and Boris Johnson said earlier this week that women go to university because they ‘have got to find men to marry’, William Hague’s performance makes it even clearer that the nasty party is alive and well.”
