Watch: Alex Salmond tells Tory minister Anna Soubry to “behave yourself, woman”

Progressive politics, huh.

By Media Mole

It’s a new parliament, and a brave new world of progressive politics brought on by a tidal wave of benevolent socialist utopians, the SNP. Hooray for a leftwing alternative! At last, a genuine voice of the people!

Well, apart from on basic equality.

Good to have some new faces around these parts, shaking things up, undermining female ministers on account of their gender. The Scottish lion has roared!
