Misogyny in Parliament

Misogyny in Parliament… it's still happening. An anonymous Tory MP has made an outrageously offensive allegation to the Mail on Sunday that Labour front bencher Angela Rayner ‘crossed and uncrossed her legs’ during PMQs, in an attempt to ‘distract’ the Prime Minister.


The PM himself has written to Rayner and posted on social media condemning the outrageous allegation and showing his support for her.


Claire Reynolds, Director of the Labour Women’s Network, gives her reaction and tells us exactly what women are still dealing with in Westminster.

Today we talk about:

  • Claire’s reaction to the allegation in the Mail on Sunday article (00:58)
  • What the Labour Women’s Network did to help prepare Angela Rayner for public life and the training it offers members (03:26)
  • How often are there reports of misogyny in Westminster? (04:23)
  • How should the situation be handled now (07:20)
