The Mail on Sunday story about Angela Rayner doing a “Sharon Stone” and “flashing” Boris Johnson during PMQs by crossing her legs is as absurd as it is depressing. The idea that our Prime Minister — a man with a sex life so fruity, he’s a walking sperm bank — is going to be discombobulated by a someone uncrossing their legs in front of him is just laughable. It would be a different matter had it been SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford wearing a kilt in true Scotsman mode.
The question now is who is the real culprit here? Is it the political editor of the Mail on Sunday and everyone associated with publishing the story? Is it the pathetic Alan Partridge Tory MP who clearly still gets fizzy pants from thinking of that Nineties film and probably owns driving gloves? Is it the Prime Minister for being the poster boy for a sexist, boorish, laddy politics which sees young female advisers as “totty” and dismisses older women MPs’ safety concerns as “humbug”? Is it the generally misogynist culture of Westminster?
