Westminster watchers disagree over David Cameron's 'calm down dear' remark to Angela Eagle at PMQS.

Some think it sexist, others see it as a homage to the legendary Michael Winner.

And one MP told me that "calm down dear and listen to the doctor" is her new favourite phrase.

But what to make of the Telegraph blog by one Lucy Jones where she asks the burning political question of the day:

"Whose boobs are these?"

The answer, Lucy, is the delightful Lisa Nandy.
