Alex Salmond ‘belongs in 19th century’

British government minister Anna Soubry has hit back at Alex Salmond after a Commons clash in which he told her to “behave yourself, woman”.

Ms Soubry said the former Scotland first minister’s comments showed a “19th century attitude” to women, claiming he believed they should be “seen not heard”.

Mr Salmond had accused the business minister of “demented” behaviour as she barracked him during a heated Commons debate.
