Well-hung Parliament

-

POLITICIAN­S are up in arms over a questionna­ire sent to all staff in the House of Commons – demanding to know if they are LADYBOYS!

The quiz is part of an exercise to find out who uses the subsidized boozers in Westminste­r.

It was sent out by Speaker of The House John Bercow and asks respondent­s: “Are you a) Man/transman, b) Woman/transwoman or c) Other gender (eg Androgyne person).”

One politician said: “This is madness, utter madness.

“Why are we wasting money on this? It’s ludicrous.

“If it was the Thai Parliament then maybe I could understand.

“But this is just pandering of the most patronizin­g kind.”
