The Labour shadow Culture Secretary - wearing this in the HoC?

Message deleted by Gransnet. Here's a link to our Talk Guidelines.

"Tracy Brabin, the shadow culture secretary, said she had been "startled by the vitriolic nature" of some comments.
She told BBC Breakfast it was her responsibility to "call it out".
"Women around the world... are being demeaned everyday because of what they wear," she said.
The Batley and Spen MP had been raising a point of order in the House of Commons on Monday about journalists being asked to leave a Downing Street press briefing on the next stage of Brexit talks, when her shoulder appeared.
She said her slightly off-the-shoulder dress had slipped a little as she leant forward to speak.
Ms Brabin said she had been to a music event earlier in the day and was not expecting to be called to the dispatch box.
"But, the context of this is frankly pretty absurd," she said.
"I am here talking about a shoulder when it is an important time for the media," she told viewers to BBC Breakfast."

You seem younger than the average GN demographic, I can’t quite put my finger on it Is it your moisturiser?

Thank you lemon I do have to work out to keep toned but the results speak for themselves.

Urmstongran You are just as lovely as I imagined.?

Dear oh dear, what a song and dance some posters are making ......not over clearly inappropriate clothes, but in
Slagging off anyone who dares venture that opinion.

As for the black mesh tshirt I mentioned....... Mr L wears them all the time.?

trisha Personally I don't care what any MP wears they are there to do a job not make a fashion statement

and yet you started a thread about Michael Gove's facial appearance, not his performance in parliament?

I can't be fussed about the dress, but my friend who works in the HOC restaurants would not be allowed to wear such an outfit. I do think the comments that go beyond just saying it isn't business attire (the HOC dress code) are totally unnecessary.

And don’t you look lovely Urm - even though your swimsuit looks nothing like Brabin’s outfit

Oh ... you meant ‘gravitas’!

?

Actually, it really is!

It is me by the way. Taken last summer.
?

That really made me giggle SussexBorn!

Actually, from the waist up, this swimsuit isn’t all that dissimilar!

Gravitas isn’t what this thread deserves.

Sorry, I'm finding it very hard to give this thread the gravitas it deserves.

But don’t be surprised when people call your posts out for what they are Urm ?

And thanks to you too Chewbacca you nailed it there.
?

paddyanne Ooh, knives out! ? (safety pin will have to do!)

I don’t know what you wear on the beach Urm but I’m willing to bet it looks nothing like Brabin’s top, does it.

Don’t be embarrassed for other women based on the tops they’re wearing - save your concern for the really big things.

Thanks Chestnut!

Sussexborn ????

I 'd rather have an honest politician in a one shoulder dress or ripped jeans than some of the scumbags sitting on the tory benches who wear suits worth hundreds of pounds or more and who are happy to destroy peoples lives with the stroke of a pen .

Urmstongran perhaps you should pm Suziewoosie with the details of any threads you are considering and she could advise if it is ok for you to think your own thoughts. That way her knickers could remain untwisted!

I am beginning to wonder if Susie has a secret crush on BJ as she manages to bring his name up on every appropriate and inappropriate thread.

On a positive note at least TB bothered to attend. The place almost seems to be abandoned most days.

Oh, FFS! She didn't do it intentionally, Ug. Are you finding that too difficult to understand?

She looked as if she were wearing beach wear. Not office wear. That’s why I said ‘oh dear’. SirChenjin

And actually if I’d been at work and she were a colleague and walked into the office wearing that dress, honestly? I would have been embarrassed - for her.

As I said, too much skin. In work.
