Beer Starmer majority over piece of cake Bojo

[WTFH]

Are you seriously suggesting she deliberately showed her knickers to the entire Tory front bench? and do you think she simply bragged about it in the bar, or don't you think it's more likely that she simply told the same funny anecdote she told in the podcast, and that some sick minded porn obsessed Tory MPs were too drunk to understand what she said and twisted the story.

it appears that a certain tabloid ran a story in early January saying she did it, a couple of days later she joked about how pathetic that paper was and how stupid a suggestion it was. The same tabloid then forgets that it started the rumour, but jumps to the bit where she joked about their story.

Polls are pretty unreliable but it's entirely normal when things are crap that people get disaffected with whoever is in charge. The worse things are and the longer the current people have been in charge, the greater the effect - and right now things are very crap and the Tories have been in a pretty long time.

Interesting take on causality there. You could also say that things were really crap three years ago and now they aren't because our long-serving government did the right things at the right time much better than many other countries.

Yes things are pretty crap right now, equally very little of that is because the Tories are in power but more because of events in the wider world. It's all about perspective, but blaming Boris for it is just a little specious.

That said, i agree that the wider electorate probably won't take that view.

I didn't imply any causality. edit: well not on purpose.

4 MPs (one a woman) reported she said it as a joke January. When they reported it as something she said, she suggested it was made up by the tories who were lying and sexist.

Sounds completely honourable for a Labour politician.

According to (checks notes) "The Daily Mail"

After the row broke out last week, the Daily Mail revealed the contents of a podcast recorded in January in which Ms Rayner volunteered the fact that her appearance at PMQs that month had drawn comparisons with Miss Stone, and that it had sparked an internet meme of her crossing and uncrossing her legs.

The interview came 18 days after the Daily Mail’s Amanda Platell had likened Ms Rayner to Miss Stone in her column

Angela won it in a flash

No wonder Boris Johnson got in a fluster at this week's Prime Minister's Questions when confronted by Angela Rayner (right), standing in for serial Covid patient Sir Keir Starmer.

Wearing a chic dress that showed off her thighs, the Labour deputy leader was channelling her inner Sharon Stone.

Boris has always had a tendresse for women with basic instincts.

...and then 18 days later she jokes about it, but let's forget where the first claim came from.

If it weren't for dress codes, the Labour front bench could all wear jumpers with tractors on next PMQs.

According to (checks notes) "The Daily Mail"

try reading this part of the article you linked.

The report in last week’s Mail on Sunday triggered a storm at Westminster, after Ms Rayner claimed that ‘Boris Johnson’s cheerleaders have resorted to spreading desperate, perverted smears in their doomed attempts to save his skin’.

The uproar forced the Prime Minister to release a statement condemning the ‘misogyny’ which had been ‘anonymously directed’ at Ms Rayner, and to order his whips to try to identify the Tory MP quoted in the article.

Mr Johnson also vowed that he would unleash ‘the terrors of the Earth’ on the person responsible.

But within 24 hours of the investigation starting, the whips had spoken to four Tory MPs who testified that Ms Rayner had herself raised the issue with them during an evening on the Commons terrace.

According to one of the MPs, she told them that during PMQs she liked ‘to do my Sharon Stone trick. I cross and uncross my legs and give him a flash of my ginger g******’.

The evening in question was in January well before the MOS story.

The pod cast is indeed later than the story where she attempts to blame the Tories for inventing it rather than just a joke she made in what she thought was private.

That is the problem with facts they can be confusing, especially if they don't fit your existing prejudices.

I suppose lying is part of Liebour's DNA now?

Indeed, shows the desperation of the Daily Mail spreading a non-story to deflect from Tory MPs watching porn.
