David Cameron says "loony left is still alive and well" in the UK

David Cameron has criticised the ECJ ruling that banned gender-based pricing for insurance premiums from December 2012, adding that the European Court showed no "common sense" with the ruling.

Cameron made the statement when Conservative MP Jonathan Evans asked if Cameron shared his disappointment that Labour MEP Mary Honeyball welcomed the ruling.

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 April, Cameron said: "Well, I have to say to my hon. Friend that that shows that some of the loony left is still alive and well in our country.

"Frankly, insurance premiums ought to reflect risk, and my hon. Friend is, as ever, displaying common sense, whereas the European Court did not."
