MP brands Leeds student “a little shit”
Lib Dem Greg Mulholland told economics student Jonathan Pryor: “I am very glad I have never met you Jonathan as you are a disingenuous, manipulative, illiberal little shit”.
Handbags have erupted after our local MP called a Leeds student “a little shit” for challenging him on gay marriage.
Lib Dem Greg Mulholland told economics student Jonathan Pryor: “I am very glad I have never met you Jonathan as you are a disingenuous, manipulative, illiberal little shit”.
The spat, which took place between consenting adults in the privacy of their own homes, happened on Twitter.
Pryor, a mature student, was criticising Mulholland – Hyde Park’s MP – for his position on gay marriage.
The MP’s views have been controversial – although he did back gay marriage in a vote yesterday.
Pryor describes himself as “pro-banter” in his twitter profile, and it seems Mr Mulholland shares that hobby. He later tweeted: “I shouldn’t have called him little that was wrong whether he is or not. The rest, true.”
