Brexit Secretary David Davis sparked a sexism row over claims he sent a text message which appeared to say he would not try to kiss Labour's Diane Abbott because he is "not blind".
The storm blew up after it was reported that the shadow home secretary told Mr Davis to "f*** off" after he seemed to lean in to try to embrace her in a Commons bar.

Yep. This story just gets better

After the incident, Mr Davis exchanged text messages with another Tory MP regarding the incident, according to the Mail on Sunday.

The newspaper reported that the friend texted Mr Davis, saying: "Cannot believe you made an attempt to give DA (Diane Abbott) a hug!"

The Cabinet minister replied: "Didn't, but the myth grows. I whispered in her ear, 'Thanks for your vote' - hence the 'F off'. I am not blind."
