As You Were: Mitchell Says He Was Being an Ironic Sexist Pig

Channelling Michael Winner when being accused of sexism? It’s as if Austin Mitchell was trying to make it worse

UPDATE: Labour say:

“Austin Mitchell has made clear the tweet was a joke not a serious comment. It is not funny, understandable people find it offensive, and it is not the view of the Labour Party.”
