A Green Party leadership hopeful faced an excruciating radio grilling after repeatedly dodging questions about whether she "liked" a rival MP infamously dubbed the "boob whisperer".
The brutal on-air exchange unfolded during a BBC interview, where the candidate awkwardly avoided giving a straight answer about her party colleague.
The Moment That Sparked the Clash
Presenters pressed the leadership contender multiple times to simply state whether she liked the fellow Green politician, who earned the unusual nickname after a controversial incident involving breast examinations.
"I'm not going to get into personal comments about colleagues," the flustered candidate insisted, as the interview became increasingly tense.
Why the Nickname Stuck
The rival MP became known as the "boob whisperer" after making headlines for his unconventional approach to breast cancer awareness, which some critics found inappropriate.
The awkward radio moment has since gone viral, with listeners divided over whether the leadership hopeful's refusal to answer was principled or simply evasive.
What This Means for the Greens
Political analysts suggest the uncomfortable exchange highlights growing tensions within the Green Party as it prepares for its leadership contest.
"These kinds of public clashes rarely bode well for party unity," noted one Westminster observer. "The Greens will need to present a cohesive front if they want to make gains in the next election."
