Tom Newton Dunn, The Sun’s political editor, has got himself into a Twitter storm by criticising Labour MP Stella Creasy.
At Commons question time, she asked prime minister David Cameron whether his lack of support for the No More Page 3 campaign was based on the views of a fellow Tory MP who argued that “Page 3 provides jobs for the girls.”
Cameron dodged the question. But Newton Dunn did not, wading in with a tart tweet…
Boldly, @stellacreasy has just asked the PM to justify Page 3 – while wearing a bright blue PVC skirt in the Commons chamber.

Be sure to wear bra and panties to next political sit-in. No, a skirt can’t undermine what a woman says http://t.co/OiAsY1hXsE
