Speaker has now viewed footage. Lip speakers are of the view he said "stupid woman". No audio available as he was sitting down. "Nobody can be 100% certain". He invites JC to explain. JC on his feet - he says he said "stupid people". "I am completely opposed to sexist and misogenistic language in any form at all". No apology. Andrea Leadsom says "I think that the country and this house will have drawn their own conclusions and I deeply regret that the right honourable gentleman has not seen fit to apologise".
Finally a bit of senseBloody hell what a wally, handing them another excuse to try to deflect that fact they are running the country in to oblivion. I despise every inept tw@t that we have running our country at the moment, red or blue, left or right they all seem to be self centred duckwits.
Wouldn't it be nice if the politicians, actually behaved in a grown up manor and did what was the best for the country, rather then their own career. The reason they don't is because they rich enough not to be affected by the mess they create.

Does anyone else find her strident voice intensely annoying?
It's sexist. Yes she is a woman. Yes he may think she's stupid. To say the two together is sexist, in the same way that saying Bong is black and stinks is racist.I’m confused as to why he can’t say that what he’d just listened to was stupid.
You know that is not the point at all..and belongs on the swivel eyed looney thread.
The leader of a political party full of women referred to another leader of a political party full of women, inside parliament, as a "stupid woman".
Yes we can all show faux OUTRAGE, but this is actually a bit more serious than that.
Yes she was bloody annoying in PMQ and kept to her script in. Aknock about way, but there are certain lines that our political leaders need to stay within.
There are as many MPs in government doing just that than in opposition. This would be through if she had the support of her own party, plus the members opposite in support of leaving. Disingenuous to say the rest of the house have been too busy trying to **** it up for her when her own MPs have done an amazing job of that on their own.
I'm still waiting for " An Economy that Works for Everyone " ! she's not trying to deliver that by the look of it.
I'm not bothering to wait for it - it just sounds like something in an election manifesto, which is worth diddly-squat anyway. We didn't specifically vote for it either; it wasn't in the referendum. The main thing is that she's trying - against Parliament, against the EU, against senior civil servants and the establishment - to deliver what the people did specifically vote for.
I didn't vote to be poorer.
Just don't understand why he'd want to ('wriggle out'). Just own it. "I called her a stupid woman. She is a woman, and I find her current position on the topic utterly stupid".
The end.
Yep, trust JC to spin and lie like the best (worst) of them.
I don't agree with him on much of anything politically but I did at first believe that he would be an honest person and bring some sincerity into British politics.
How wrong I was.
He’s been corrupted by the job and quasi power.
When he first became leader, he clearly stated that he’d end confrontational PMQ’s, lower the actual decibels level, and simply read out heart-felt letters from those struggling in our society. Instead his spiteful advisors have cajoled him into personal attacks made in a mini Nuremburg speech style (playing to the converted gallery). Nothing changed whatsoever.

Labour official line : He said "Stupid People"....
Every lip reader in the UK being wheeled out, confirming he 100% certainly said "Stupid Woman"
Politicians.... Default setting : Lie
Interesting how that troll Bercow kept bringing the house into line for Corbyn but allowed complete abuse towards May.
