Angela Rayner has issued a furious condemnation of Tory claims that she crosses and uncrosses her legs in the Commons to distract Boris Johnson.
The Labour deputy leader called out an extraordinary “sexist” newspaper account from Tories likening her tactics while sitting opposite the Prime Minister as a fully-clothed equivalent of Sharon Stone’s infamous scene in the film Basic Instinct.
The Mail on Sunday report has been widely condemned as blatant sexism and subject to a storming response by Rayner herself.
