Labour’s deputy leader said she was sorry if her comments offended people before launching a fresh attack on Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Ms Rayner had repeatedly refused to back down after causing outrage with the comments at the start of Labour’s conference.<\/p>\n

But she was given a dressing down by Sir Keir Starmer on Tuesday for the tirade and yesterday the frontbencher said she understood why people were upset.<\/p>\n

Ms Rayner told the BBC: “I was at a post-watershed event in the evening and the point being, and this is really crucial for me, I understand people are upset by that language, I do understand that.<\/p>\n

“That’s me, I’m bombastic, and I apologise if it offended the public in the way in which I expressed it.<\/p>\n

“But people were more outraged by me saying that then looking into Boris Johnson’s racism, misogynism and homophobia.”<\/p>\n

Conservative MP Paul Holmes said: “It’s shameful that Angela Rayner still hasn’t apologised for comments that are offensive to the 14 million people that voted Conservative in 2019.<\/p>\n

“When Keir Starmer’s speech had more insults than policy in it, it’s clear that the Labour Party are more focused on stoking division than setting out a plan for the British people.”<\/p>\n
