LABOUR MP Tracy Brabin has hit back at trolls, who called her a “slapper” after she wore an off-the-shoulder dress in the Commons.
The 58-year-old shadow culture secretary was also told she looked like she had been “banged over a wheelie bin” by vile Twitter users following a debate in parliament.
Some of the sick insults aimed at the mum-of-two included “looks like she’s on the morning after a walk of shame” while others called her a “tart”.
The former Coronation Street actress replied to a social media user who shared a picture of her wearing the outfit along with the caption: “Is this really appropriate attire for parliament?”
Ms Brabin replied to the tweet: “Sorry I don’t have time to reply to all of you commenting on this but I can confirm I’m not….
“A slag, Hungover, A tart, About to breastfeed, A slapper, Drunk, Just been banged over a wheelie bin.
“Who knew people could get so emotional over a shoulder…”
Many Twitter users rushed to defend the MP.
One wrote: “If I had a quid for every time someone had commented on what I wore rather than what I said… This rarely happens to men – calling it out is the only way to educate .”
Another joked: “Go in naked next time.”
A third wrote: “Great sense of humour Tracy. Much kudos.”
In the Commons, Ms Brabin was debating Downing Street’s decision to order senior journalists to leave before a briefing on Boris Johnson’s Brexit plans.
The Labour frontbencher, who played Tricia Armstrong in the ITV soap between 1994 and 1997, won a 2016 by-election following the murder of MP Jo Cox.
