Though this bit is the part that is interesting:

Such sexism towards female MPs is sadly still commonplace: only last week, a Tory MP had to apologise for making barking noises at the SNP’s Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh as she spoke in a debate.

His excuse for his behaviour is here

It's about convincing as Trump's excuses... better just to have apologised. Next he'll be making monkey noises and saying it's not because she's black, but because she's aping Tory policies.

I fought racism and misogyny to become an MP. The fight is getting harder

Blimey you'd think it was hard joining the Labour party and becoming an activist.

Soames is an arse, always has been sadly if he weren't related to one of our most famous britons someone would have beaten him senseless years ago. Bercow should have censured him and asked him to leave. If anyone had done that in a professional environment they would have been sacked.

However you all know my feelings on the duplicitous lying self pitying pus bag that is Diane.

You can make it easier for yourself by shagging a few of the more supported male party members not that SNP female members have to do that due to being a progressive party.

Yes because joining the party and getting a nomination to run as Labour MP are exactly the same thing. Even in the UK, getting elected as a black woman (even an horrible one) is still quite an achievement and denying the difficulty of that journey is asinine.

Is that because the Labour party is stacking itself with misogynists?

difficulty of that journey

At least there were plenty of cake stops on her journey. I say that with her being a right fat cow and all.

getting a nomination to run as Labour MP

IIRC they had 'positive discrimination' in place. She has (at least) 2 Trump (no pun intended) cards. I think SE comment is nearer the truth and not one a 'misogynist' could use.
