Today the Prime Minister said there was "absolutely no place" for sexist behaviour in the House of Commons following claims in the Mail on Sunday from Conservative MPs that Labour's Angela Rayner has sought to distract the PM "Basic Instinct style".
The Mail On Sunday (MoS) reported Conservatives claimed Ms Rayner enjoyed attempting to put Mr Johnson "off his stride" during Prime Minister's Questions by "crossing and uncrossing her legs". Ms Rayner often sits next to Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and opposite the Prime Minister during the weekly Commons clashes.
After the story was published there was, rightly, an outcry of horror from MPs on all sides and Ms Rayner herself said they were "vile lies" and that she was “fearful” and “really down” when tipped off, worrying about what her teenage sons would think.
