Clarkson’s Farm star Jeremy Clarkson shares a daughter, Emily, with his ex-wife Frances Cain.

Jeremy Clarkson’s daughter, Emily, has joined the conversation after Rachel Reeves shed a tear in the Commons last week. The Chancellor appeared to cry last Wednesday, had visible bags under her eyes, and was accused by Kemi Badenoch of looking “absolutely miserable”. During one moment, Rachel appeared to shed a tear as Keir Starmer refused to confirm she would keep her job. Reeves’ appearance during Prime Minister’s Questions has now sparked a flood of online speculation, with Piers Morgan and GB News star Emily Carver having their say on the matter.

Clarkson has now spoken out about the talked-about moment in a passionate video where she shared her opinion on Instagram. She added the caption: “Already anticipating that the comments will further make my point for me and we’ll be derailed once again by people saying she deserves to cry and that they refuse to feel sorry for her. We gotta be able to acknowledge that two things can be true at once!!”

In the video footage, Clarkson said that Reeves has given “plenty of people to cry about”, but then launched into a rant about how “emotion has been PR’d so well and so misogynistically that it’s become gendered.”

She also fumed: “We are not focusing enough on the issue at hand here. Rachel Reeves is not a perfect person. ‘She is a patron of injustice—she deserves to be treated unjustly.’ That is the kangaroo court school of thought. But that is wildly detrimental when it comes to the bigger picture. The bigger picture here is that she was a victim of sexism.

“We fall for it every single time. She may well not be fit for office, but let’s make that call on the back of policy, rather than on a double standard, shall we?”

Many of her followers flooded the comments section to react to her opinion. One fan agreed and said: “You’re so right! I don’t like her, but emotions are emotions, and, like you said, the male leaders of our world are WILDLY more emotional on an everyday basis.”

A second also said online: “You have absolutely nailed the point! The double standards are so blatant. And if she’d shouted, sworn or thrown something, she’d be branded hysterical and unhinged.”

A third typed: “To me, crying shows you CARE, and don’t we want our politicians to care about what they’re doing? Isn’t that what we always beg them for?”

However, one person disagreed and said: “Yeah, honestly, as much as I agree with everything you say. Her policies have really hurt people and caused a lot of worry. For that I have struggled to feel an ounce of empathy.”
