Angela Rayner has hit out at “sexism and misogyny” in politics, as a storm of criticism erupted after a newspaper reported that she crosses and uncrosses her legs during prime minister’s questions to distract Boris Johnson. Rayner dismissed this as a "perverted smear" that showed women in politics faced misogyny every day. Rayner condemned the article in a thread on Twitter as "gutter journalism."
