Satirical vid mocks Tory MP who told Mail about Rayner crossing her legs

"It's scary that satire on our current politics can be so believable," wrote one person after watching the clip.

There isn’t anything funny about the Mail on Sunday piece about Anglea Rayner allegedly crossing and uncrossing her legs to put off Boris Johnson during PMQs.

However, Rosie Holt has, again, created a satirical piece on the scandal which has gone viral, and it is a must-watch.

The report, published in this weekend’s Mail on Sunday, claimed that the deputy Labour leader moves her legs because her working-class background means she can’t compete intellectually with the private school Oxbridge educated PM.

Rayner discussed the issue on today’s Lorraine where she admitted she was disgusted by the story and how her children might react to it.

Angela Rayner – "I rebutted the MoS story instantly as it was disgusting & completely untrue… as my children don't want to see their mum portrayed that way… but the response from the public, from all political parties has heartened me.." #lorraine pic.twitter.com/0TkACjDKqV

Satire

In response, Rosie Holt has created a video where she plays the MPs wife who told the Mail reporter about Rayner’s leg-crossing antics.

She defends her husband and there are so many funny lines it is hard to pick out one, but “People don’t know this but Hitler had very slender legs” and “I think Tom Daley should knit a rug for the women in the front row” are just some of the laugh-out-loud jokes.

It has already been watched over 1.2 million times.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
