A Tory MP has been accused of being a ‘playground bully’ for saying he would ‘not follow’ Eddie Izzard into the Parliament toilets.
Lee Anderson, MP for Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, made the remarks about the trans comedian in a Talk TV interview today.
Anderson told the show: ‘I think Labour have got 51% of their MPs now, in parliament, are females.
‘Now, if Eddie Izzard gets elected, I don’t know whether that increases or decreases the percentage.
Misgendering Izzard, he added: ‘Because I’m not sure what [she’s] all about, Keir Starmer’s not sure what [she’s] all about.
