Sometimes it’s hard to believe the levels to which Conservative politicians will sink to protect their leader but yesterday’s slur against Angela Rayner proved there’s grubbier depths still to mine.
In what could easily be an episode of The Thick of It - a Tory Member of Parliament tries to diminish and sexualise a female opposition politician, because their poor, easily distracted, thin skinned leader would be put off his train of thought by a woman having legs.
It’s sexist, shallow, shabby and contemptable in modern Britain.
