Mr Winner said: ?I?m quite flattered he used the phrase but then everyone uses it. There?s nothing remotely sexist about it. To call someone "dear" is not sexist unless to totally politically correct lunatics. There?s a lot of things defiling women, such as prostitution, domestic violence. Harriet Harman should deal with them first.?
Cameron has in fact used the phrase ?Calm down dear? at PMQs before - to a man. He said it to David Miliband over the Despatch Box in December 2007 when the then Foreign Secretary tried to suggest he did not understand the finer points of foreign policy.
Mr Cameron's comment came as he defended his Government's plans to reform the NHS, which he said were even backed by former Labour MP Howard Stoate, a practising GP.
Ms Eagle, seated on the Labour front benches, loudly retorted that Dr Stoate had stood down at last year's election, rather than being defeated as the PM claimed.
The Prime Minister told the Wallasey MP: ?Calm down, dear, calm down. Calm down and listen to the doctor.?
