Joe Mizzi is not the only Labour politician making the headlines for refusing to acknowledge a journalist’s questions
Jeremy Corbyn has hit the headlines for blanking a journalist who asked him about the dearth of women in his shadow cabinet.
The Independent (London) reports:
The new Labour leader was filmed walking through Westminster on Sunday night, after a long day in which it was announced that his new shadow Chancellor, Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary would all be men.
In a video that lasts almost three minutes, Mr Corbyn can be seen ignoring questions from Sky News’ journalist Darren McCaffrey.
Mr McCaffrey is heard asking the newly elected leader: “How do you face the criticism that there simply are not enough women in senior positions in the shadow cabinet?”
Mr Corbyn’s only response in the video is to tell an aide: “These people are bothering me”.
