Shame on the trolls who target breastfeed mums

-

Isn’t it strange that Chrissy Teigen’s Instagram breastfeed­ing photos offend the morals of so many?

Chrissy, wife of musician John Legend, was pictured nursing their newborn son while their toddler daughter looked on.

The little girl insisted mummy feed her baby doll too. How innocent.

But Bu Chrissy’s been targtarget­ed by sick trolls spewing disgust that she should get her boobs out for such a purpose.

Wonder how many of them complain about any random Kardashian’s gratuitous­ly naked shots?

We can teach our daughters that breastfeed­ing is natural or teach them to pose like soft-porn stars. Not a difficult choice, I’d say.

Maybe the heat has finally got to me. Perhaps I’m still emotional after all those Thai boys were rescued from the caves (tearjerkin­gly wonderful).

Or could it be that, in this MeToo era, the sisterly solidarity of middle- aged women automatica­lly extends to calamity-prone prime ministers? Whatever the contributi­ng factors, she has actually risen in my estimation over the Brexit deal debacle.

OK, she’s risen from the lowest of starting points and remains at an unimpressi­ve position somewhere around David Mundell and Piers Morgan but she has risen nonetheles­s.

And she’s a Tory PM. This has never happened before. Quick, pass the smelling salts.

We may not like her on a day-to- day basis but what we like even less are cowardly, selfservin­g Brexiteers whose egos overwhelm any notion of national good and whose yellow streaks are as wide as the English Channel.

Neither Davis nor Johnson had the guts to walk out of Chequers when presented with May’s sign-up- or-go-home Brexit deal. That would have required cajones and the courage
