Esther McVey made an unfortunate schoolboy error condemning Just Stop Oil and it’s a proper work of art

Maybe you should find out what the painting depicts and its history before you embarrass yourself. Just looking at the photo you posted would tell you. Or does the work experience kid do your posts for you?

The Suffragette movement is not what I thought it was. https://t.co/Z5hDFDmsBX

Those most frothing and unhinged in their determination to protect our culture and history are also, so very often, those least acquainted with it. https://t.co/S8Uyvnkuvv

Erm, the Rokeby Venus was painted by Velasquez in 17th century – hardly a period renowned for its suffragettes. With a such profound knowledge of art history, Ms McVey, I’m surprised you’re not Culture Minister like wot Nads was.

This painting, by Spanish artist, Diego Velázquez depicts Venus and Cupid. It was painted in the 17th century.
Just a cursory glance at the actual painting would tell you it has nothing to do with the Suffragettes.
Quality journalism from the GB News/Tory hate mongers.

Increasingly difficult to tell the difference between parody Tory MP accounts and the real ones. https://t.co/46w4KMa0NF
