British female lawmaker crossed legs after comparing it to ‘primitive instinct’ (comprehensive)

‘Mail on Sunday’ editor summoned to Parliament

British Prime Minister joins accusations of ‘misogyny’… If the speaker is revealed, the meaning of punishment will be revealed

(London = Yonhap News) Correspondent Choi Yun-jeong = The local political circles were turned upside down by media reports comparing the female deputy leader of the Labor Party, the UK’s largest opposition party, to Sharon Stone in the movie ‘Basic Instinct’.

The Speaker of the House of Commons summoned the editor of the newspaper that reported the news.

The Mail on Sunday reported that Deputy Leader Angela Rayner, an anonymous Conservative MP, alleged that she appeared to have crossed her legs and then loosened them during a meeting to distract British Prime Minister Boris Johnson opposite him. .

Senator Lee said Raynor looked like Sharon Stone from a famous scene in the movie, Mail on Sunday reported.

The Mail on Sunday added that Raynor would have a hard time defeating Prime Minister Johnson, who was trained in debate at Oxford University, but he knew he had other skills, Lee said.

Immediately after the report, accusations of misogynism poured in.

Prime Minister Johnson immediately responded by posting on Twitter, accusing Raynor of misogyny and respecting him as a member of the House of Representatives as he differs from Vice President Raynor on almost every political issue.

On the 25th, BBC reported that Prime Minister Johnson reiterated his position in a text message to Raynor.

Prime Minister Johnson repeatedly stressed to reporters that this was a horrific misogynistic tyranny and said he would take disciplinary action if the speaker was revealed.

But earlier, a Conservative lawmaker said he would face disciplinary action if confirmed for misogynistic allegations against Raynor, but it was unclear whether Mail on Sunday would make the speaker public, The Times reported.

House Speaker Lindsey Hoyle summoned the editor of Mail on Sunday, who published the article.

Hoyle denounced the report as an insult and attack on women in Congress.

The Independent Press Ethics Commission (IPSO), the UK media oversight body, said it had received 5,500 complaints and was looking at possible violations of its code of conduct.

Deputy Representative Raynor, who was involved, strongly condemned the report, calling it sexist.

“Women in politics experience sexism and misogyny every day, and I am no different,” he said.

Labor MP Rachel Reeves told the BBC that “Prime Minister Johnson must not just tweet, he must bring order to the party.”

The Conservative Party also supported Vice-President Raynor and voiced high voices accusing women of discrimination against women politicians.
