Johnson is hopeless at debate anyway. He can't debate with journalists and he can't debate with other politicians.

A complete waste of space. ?

So Angela Rayner is often mocked for being "uneducated" and a bit ... er ... common and uncouth, but it would appear she has great legs! hmm

I thought we'd moved on from the days when it was OK to lech after (and maybe more) the pretty parlour maid!

PS. Rayner always has great shoes!

It isn’t just the sexism though is it.

That foul article drips classism and snobbery.

They simply can’t accept that a working class woman who was schooled in the state system, could possible compete in a debate with someone who’s parents paid for their education.

That would include I suspect the vast majority reading this thread.

Chestnut

To be fair she apparently 'admitted as much when enjoying drinks with us on the terrace' so it's entirely possible although she would never admit it publicly. It would be a very easy thing to do whilst protesting it's not deliberate. Who would ever know except her?

Its official. We're back in the seventies.

Did you check what this unnamed Tory source quoted in the Daily Mail said she admitted to Chestnut?

Crikey! Worrying that the PM of the UK is so easily distracted. Very unprofessional.

Blimey!

Do you understand the meaning of misogyny?

Perhaps not after reading your misogynistic post.

Apparently, according to the Tory Terry Thomas wannabes, Ms Raynor can't compete with the intellectual debating prowess of our leering leader so has been accused of adopting other methods to throw him off his stride.

I'm absolutely seething as a woman to see another so disrespected. And these are the same arrogant twonks who'll be seeking our votes come May.

It is vile, misogynistic tripe by a 'journalist' who looks like he's getting back at all the girls who rejected him. Angela Raynor has refuted it extremely strongly on twitter. However, let's not forget who owns the paper it appeared in. This is another dead cat thrown in an attempt to deflect attention away from Johnson and his flouting of laws.

Looks that way DiamondLily.

Blossoming Sun 24-Apr-22 10:25:12

How revolting. They have shown us yet again what vile misogynists they are. Are we expected to believe that the PM’s shambolic performance is all Angela Rayner’s fault?

DiamondLily Sun 24-Apr-22 10:24:05

Are the Tories seriously saying their "esteemed" leader cannot control himself, and concentrate, if he's around a woman?

Worrying if they are.?

I see that their popular culture references are, as usual, about thirty years out of date.

Farzanah Sun 24-Apr-22 10:07:11

I can’t believe this has been published in a national newspaper in the 21st century. Why is there so much sexism in politics, is it a power thing?

Nannee49 Sun 24-Apr-22 10:03:34

Totally outrageous, misogynistic so called news item in the dreaded DM today.

Senior Tories have accused Angela Raynor of distracting our buffoon Prime Minister by crossing and uncrossing her legs - à la Sharon Stone - in Prime Minister's question time.

Can they sink any lower???

Yet another disgusting example of the true mind sets of the guffawing Tories. They're a disgrace yet again.
