The Twitter account of controversial comedian Jim Davidosn has been taken down after he tweeted a number of messages in support of minister Mark Field - who has been suspended after he was seen grabbing and pushing a protester at a charity dinner,

The verified account disappeared on Friday and remains missing on Saturday although it is unclear who has removed it.

The removal same after Davidson tweeted: "Mark Field acted on impulse. If a woman MP did what Mark did there would be no problem. More sexism cards being played. The bottom line? Use female assassins, no one will stop them incase they get into trouble.

He added: "Can we all be certain, in an instant that a protester who forced her way past security didnt have a knite or worse. 'oh why didnt that MP stop her as she passed him?' Still here come the feminist and labour opportunitsts. Sad world."

According to The Mirror , a third tweet from Jim's account read: "Roll out the female labour MPs. 'He should be sacked'. Typical useless opertunists. If labour want to be viable get Ps that hav a tad of common sense. Not ones who jump on any excuse to moan. He could have saved the chancellors life. Where was security?"

When a follower chipped in to say, "Its assault if I did that in Asda I be locked up so whats difference", Jim replied: "Would nt know I shop in Waitrose".

Mirror Online has contacted Jim's rep and Twitter for comment.
