Is this the sort of behaviour a PM should be indulging in? Disgraceful IMHO.
Quote:
Labour has accused David Cameron of sexism after he told a female MP to "calm down dear" during a Commons exchange.
The prime minister borrowed the catchphrase made famous by Michael Winner, during a row about NHS reforms.
Shadow chief secretary to the Treasury Angela Eagle, at whom the comment was aimed, said "a modern man" would not have "expressed himself that way".
But a Downing Street spokesman said it was just "a humorous remark".
The clash came as Mr Cameron used the words of former Labour MP - and GP - Howard Stoate to defend his plans to introduce GP commissioning in the NHS in England
