MP Andrea Jenkyns has issued a statement saying she had 'reached the end of her tether' when she was filmed sticking a finger up at crowds booing Boris Johnson on Thursday.
The video of the Morley and Outwood MP, who also shouted "He who laughs last, laughs the loudest. Wait and see" prompted angry reactions from scores of people. This only increased when she was promoted yesterday to Parliamentary Under Secretary for the Department for Education.
Journalists, politicians and social media users widely condemned her gesture, saying it was inappropriate and asking 'is this the role model we want for our children?'
