Boris Johnson has said "there can be absolutely no place" for sexism in Westminster, following an outcry over claims Angela Rayner crossed and uncrossed her legs in the Commons to distract him.
In a widely condemned story in the Mail on Sunday, an anonymous Tory MP is said to have claimed Ms Rayner “knows she can’t compete with Boris’ Oxford Union debating training, but she has other skills which he lacks”.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer called on the Prime Minister to send a "clear message" that such comments are not acceptable.
