Angela Rayner says 'cultural shift' needed following 'Basic Instinct' comments published in Mail on Sunday
Angela Rayner has said a “cultural shift” is needed following sexist comments made about her distracting Prime Minister Boris Johnson with her legs in the Commons.
The Labour deputy leader said she was “crestfallen” at sexist claims by anonymous Conservatives about her, which were run in an article in The Mail On Sunday newspaper on the weekend.
There was outrage across the political spectrum after the paper reported the claims, including a quote from one MP that Ms Rayner “knows she can’t compete with Boris’s Oxford Union debating training, but she has other skills which he lacks”.
