Boris Johnson has said claims made about Tameside MP Angela Rayner by an unidentified Tory MP over the weekend were ‘the most appalling load of sexist, misogynist tripe’ during a visit to Bury’s Gigg Lane stadium today.
The Prime Minister was visiting the famous stadium to mark its return to football after opening its turnstiles for the first time since 2019 yesterday (April 25). But his visit was marred with questions over the comments made about Ms Rayner, the results of the Sue Gray report, and an attempt at kicking a football.
Over the weekend, The Mail On Sunday reported that an unnamed Tory MP had said Ms Rayner crossed and uncrossed her legs during Prime Minister’s Questions in an attempt to distract Mr Johnson, comparing the move to Sharon Stone’s infamous scene in 1992 film Basic Instinct.
