Cue an orchestra of finger-wagging and pearl-clutching. “What kind of man elbows a woman?" shouted opposition leader Tom Mulcair at Trudeau, as Canadian politics went full Punch and Judy. "It’s pathetic! You’re pathetic!”

Afterwards, Ms Ellen said: “It was very overwhelming and so I left the chamber to go and sit in the lobby”. Her colleague Niki Ashton went further: Trudeau’s “manhandling” was “the furthest thing from a feminist act” and it made other MPs feel “unsafe”.

At this point in proceedings, I was in Team Trudeau. Yes, he'd got a bit rambunctious in the seat of Canadian power, but who doesn't want to see more passion – even genuine anger – from our politicians and world leaders? God knows, this was better than watching David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn throw snide looks at each other for 30 minutes in PMQs.
