It seems the Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone hasn’t quite worked out what the first word of her title means:

And kudos to Tory MP Philip Davis for his retort:

“One of the most terrible decisions that men have made was making her Equalities Minister, so I suppose you can see where she is coming from…”
