A new Labour MP has said she will never be friends with a Conservative, and will not "hang out" with Tory women as she considers them "the enemy".

Laura Pidcock told Refinery29 that she wouldn't “hang out with Tory women” who are “no friends of mine” and “an enemy to lots of women”.

The MP was criticised for her comments by Nadine Dorries MP, who tweeted: "She will make a great MP. How can she fail with her politics of hate and such a hands over the ears juvenile attitude".

New Conservative MP Kemi Badenoch said she disagreed with Ms Pidcock's comments, saying she was friends with Labour politicians and would be keen to be friends and work with female Labour MPs.

In an interview with Labour-supporting blog Skwawkbox, Laura Pidcock says there are two types of Conservatives - those with privilege who don't understand working-class issues and those who genuinely think capitalism helps people.
