Everyday sexism is rife at Labour conference. Tom Watson waddled off yesterday after describing a bacon butty bearing babe as a “Sun model”:
The man from The Sun who tried to snap me with a Sun model giving away free bacon butties. #Lab14 dodged it. pic.twitter.com/5Jf1pbi2gU

A rather patronising assumption to make about Cherry Wilson, who is a journalist at the paper specialising in features:
Thanks to @tom_watson for referring to me as a 'Sun model' in his tweet. A shame he turned down The Sun Bacon Butty Challenge though! #Lab14

Meanwhile, Sky News political correspondent Sophy Ridge has had her own encounter with a dinosaur:
So a Labour MP has just walked up & asked me if I am a weather presenter #lab14
