Bloom had been billed to speak himself, but slowly a Ukip official guided him towards the exit. As he made to leave, the Channel 4 News team followed. On the steps of the old Westminster Library I posed several questions about his views on women in politics. He said nothing that controversial, but then another journalist asked him about referring to women who didn’t clean behind the fridge as “sluts”. He said all the women who’d heard him say that took it as a joke. His press officer chipped in to explain: “I think people don’t understand the difference between slut and slag, maybe it’s something to do with the lack of grammar schools in our education system.”
