The British member of parliament was trolled on Twitter because she wore an-off shoulder dress in the British House of Commons.
Twitteratis called Brabin's dress ''inappropriate'', and made fun of her by calling her a ''tart'' and a ''drunk''.
Itâs inappropriate dress for work. You dress like that when youâre stumbling into a wine bar. But this is the commons. The mother of all parliaments. The blokes are all wearing suits n you are dressed to trip the lights fantastic.

However, there were some people who backed the MP in her choice of attire.

If I had a quid for every time someone had commented on what I wore rather than what I said... ? This rarely happens to men - calling it out is the only way to educate ??
