Boris Johnson criticised after appearing to call Jeremy Corbyn a 'big girl's blouse'

Boris Johnson's first PMQs as prime minister was eventful spectacle, to say the least as Tory leader attempted to save face after suffering defeat on his no-deal legislation on Tuesday.

The PM received a barrage of attacks and questions from opposition MPs appeared rattled during the proceedings and at one point appeared to call Jeremy Corbyn a 'big girl's blouse.'

This apparent outburst came after the Labour leader had said that he refused to lend his support for a general election, which Johnson was clearly aghast at.

Cameras picked up Johnson's shock at this announcement, where it looks like he mouths said words, as if he was some Edwardian headteacher angry at a student who didn't want to take party in physical education.

The footage is now all over Twitter and people aren't impressed by what they have seen, with some labelling it as sexist and homophobic.
