Tories accuse Angela Raynor of "doing a Basic Instinct"

Well that's definitely something we agree on Zoejory.

She makes me cringe. Loud mouthed and don’t agree with anything she says, she’s like Keir in as much they haven’t an idea between them just keep on pecking away at old scabs. Why is it fare game to say what you like about a man but not a woman, we wanted equality and we have it. I think men should start campaigning for equal rights..Don’t like the article you say is in the Mail, there again don’t read it. I just think everyone is entirely weary of going over old ground and more interested I tested in say the new trade deal with India.

Allsorts

Hmm ... I'm trying to think of a male MP I could lust after and whose background would make me feel superior ... it's a difficult one!

I can't say I've ever agreed with Amber Rudd about much, but at least she has a bit more grace than you Allsorts.

... or Andrea Leadsom:

It pisses me off that people here get up in arms about being called "ladies", and they don't agree with man bashing, but Angela Rayner is fair game.
I wonder why that would be.

Late apologies for typo...it is of course Rayner

There's no way on God's Earth that a male Tory MP would be accused of crossing and uncrossing his legs to flash a trouser bulge to distract a female PM.

That's the big difference and the total misogyny Allsorts.

You are right in saying it's the wearying same old, same old - idiot Tory politicians thinking a woman is fair game for a bit of old school denigration. You can't see through it but there's plenty of us who can and who will vote accordingly.

Golly - a woman (and one of working class origins !) has legs...jolly dangerous for the boys, doncha know?

..

Well said, Andrea Leadsom and Amber Rudd.

If Angela Rayner was fidgeting it could be for any number of reasons, one being that she was becoming more and more exasperated with Johnson.

The cheek of her.
All working class and leggy.

And glorious hair!
I have hair

(Very shallow, sorry)

She isn’t laughing. And nor should you be.
Angela Raynor is increasingly proving herself to be a good deputy leader. She’s more integrity than Johnson or the MPs who support him

Well I have been laughing. I did see the article in the Mail online but didn’t bother to read it - it featured a screenshot of Sharon Stone!

Do I believe it? Of course not and I have nothing against Angela Raynor. Unlike some I refuse to get wound up about such nonsense.

What strikes me is that they all seem to think he is helplessly distracted by the sight of a pair of legs crossing and uncrossing!! The good old "poor men cant control themselves" excuse! Give me strength!!

He does have previous

She makes me cringe. Loud mouthed and don’t agree with anything she says, she’s like Keir in as much they haven’t an idea between them just keep on pecking away at old scabs

But whatever one thinks of her, surely that doesn't make it ok to start attacking her with a load of mysogynistic, sexist, irrelevant rubbish, (as male conservative MPs have done) whilst ignoring the possibility that if a bloke allows himself to be distracted it is not in any way his responsibility to deal with that?

Tory female MPs are agreeing with her despite being politically poles apart, and good on them!

There is a very rude photo of Johnson and I think his current wife, but it would go down like a lead ballon with the pearl clutchers on GN.

I haven't had my dinner yet, Whitewave!

“It happens every time I look at Angela”

Now my name will be mud??

I’m chuckling ???

Think - what if she had maybe 6 or is it 7 children by different partners, cavorted with a male pole dancer, left her husband when he was ill to shack up with a man 20 years her junior and then had two more children? How would the men's reaction be to that?

They'd probably realise she had as little integrity as them and think they were actually in with a real chance, instead of just hoping.

I admire Angela Rayner and think she is a positive force in the Labour Party and Parliament.

It’s true she hasn’t got Johnson’s debating skills, hers are far superior.

I’m a state educated woman from a working class background.

I have just read the article online ( free through my library membership) and it says that the exchanges between Johnson and Raynor are seen as ‘flirty’ by some MPs. I feel slightly sick if this is true. Thank goodness that Johnson and others have condemned this dangerous nonsense. This is Parliament we are talking about not some bl#### first dates reality show.
