Porn in the Commons. Sexual misconduct. Angela Rayner's 'Basic Instinct ploy'. The message is clear – the UK parliament has become a treehouse with a 'No girls allowed' sign nailed to the door...
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry reading this article. I thought you captured perfectly what the Daily Mail journalist probably wanted to write about Angela Rayner: "Look at the mouthy woman who got above her station by distracting the boys. Shouldn’t she be at home on the council estate, eating Pot Noodles bought with her benefits cheque?"
Answering your question, I would seriously consider running for office and I'm not put off by the misogyny. It's prevalent across society. What I do find offputting is the prospect of dealing with all those Old Etonian/ Oxford boorish types. I'm getting flashbacks of scenes from "Anatomy of a Scandal" just thinking about this. Gruesome. But I won't let this put me off and may yet run for office.
