Labour releases dossier of Tory London mayoral candidate’s past remarks about women
Labour has accused the Conservative candidate for London mayor of holding “prehistoric” views after he once suggested in an interview that the reason there were so few women in parliament was because women did not want to enter politics.
Shaun Bailey, who will challenge the incumbent, Sadiq Khan, in May’s election, also claimed that women did not stand as prospective MPs because they were “too clever” to enter a profession that was “rough in all the wrong ways”.
