Politics GB News House of Commons
A GB News commentator trolled a new MP’s choice of skirt and got gloriously cut down to size
Like us you may not be overly aware of Jess Caine, a ‘local government diva’ and occasional commentator on GB News by all accounts.
We mention her after she took issue with the wardrobe choice of new SNP MP, Lara Bird, after she was sworn into the House of Commons.
Here is Bird in the chamber this week.

And this is what Caine had to say about her.
That dress is far too short for the House of Commons.
It’s not a bottomless brunch with the girlies. It’s Parliament.
Have some respect for the place you’re paid 96k a year to sit in. https://t.co/1loIUOtxLD

And there was no end of replies, of which these ones surely said it best.

the length of her skirt. that’s the best you can come up with. It doesn’t matter a jot what she wears and you know that, but you revert to mean girl playground crap. do better.

Oh please. It’s 2026
We should be beyond what people wear; dress length
It’s who they are and what they contribute to parliament & represent their community
Rather have an MP in tatty rags if they represent constituents, than a twat in a posh suit, living abroad to save tax!

How she is dressed is none of your business. Good for her dressing as she sees fit. The days of dressing to suit others are long gone. We please ourselves.
