Jeremy Corbyn was presented with a “big girl’s blouse” as he left his home on Thursday morning after remarks by Boris Johnson.
A reporter from The Sun was waiting outside the Labour leader’s home in Islington, north London, to give him the pink patterned Marks & Spencer shirt.
During his first Prime Minister’s Questions, Boris Johnson appeared to shout at Mr Corbyn: “Call an election, you great big girl’s blouse.”
The reporter brandished the women’s size-20 shirt at the opposition leader’s front garden gate on Thursday morning.
It comes as The Sun ran diametrically opposed front pages in Scotland and England in today’s first edition.
In England a picture of the Labour leader as a chicken dominated page one, whereas in Scotland they ran:
“Floppy Johnson can’t get an election”.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
