Angela Rayner: ‘I begged Mail on Sunday not to publish Basic Instinct story [link to the Guardian]
Labour’s deputy leader said she had been horrified at the story [link to the original Guardian column]], which she had had to explain to her teenage sons.
Recalling when the MoS first told her it was running the story, she said she told them: “This is disgusting. It’s completely untrue. Please don’t run a story like that … I was with my teenage sons … trying to prepare my children for seeing things online. They don’t want to see their mum portrayed that way and I felt really down about that.”
My question was what in the hell was the editor thinking.
This shit sells papers?
1.1 steps forward 1 step back. Sheesh.
This form of attack would do no favours to a teenager, let alone a national politician and national newspaper. You don’t live in the 1970s any more, thank heavens.
Ye gawds, twice in one day I am reduced to, Grow the Fuck Up.
