Angela Rayner has revealed she begged the Mail on Sunday not to run a story claiming a Conservative MP compared her to the character in Basic Instinct, saying the “classist” comments in the piece were disparaging about working-class people.
Labour’s deputy leader said she had been horrified at the story, which she had had to explain to her teenage sons.
