MP hits back at 'Banged over a wheelie bin' trolls after wearing off-the-shoulder dress in Commons

An MP has been branded "a slag" and told she looked like she had "just been banged over a wheelie bin" after wearing an off-the-shoulder dress in the .

Labour's Tracy Brabin, 58, bared her right shoulder in a black formal dress while raising points of order with Speaker of the House, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, 62, on Tuesday.

But it was her choice of attire that attracted the attention of some viewers and sparked a string of insults from misogynists on social media.

One Twitter user slammed the former Coronation Street actress as "looking like a tart" with another adding "looks like she's on the morning after a walk of shame". Another troll said: "Looks like she was banged over the wheelie bin at the back of the pub last night."

Another quipped: "Is this really appropriate attire for parliament? @TracyBrabin #DressStandards".

The Batley and Spen MP hit back tweeting: "Hello. 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... "

Tracy Brabin won her seat in October 2016, following a by-election after the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox.
