Archie Mitchell from The Independent.
00:03
In the run-up to the local elections, reform activists set up a stall depicting Angela
00:08
Raina, Bridget Philipson and Rachel Reeves as cows, said to be sent to the abattoir.
00:14
Is it misogynistic to depict female cabinet ministers as cows, and is it appropriate to
00:19
suggest that they're going to be sent to the abattoir, given MPs have been killed in recent
00:22
years?
00:23
Well, you've struck me there completely out of the blue.
00:26
All sorts of appalling things get said and done by people fighting in elections at local
00:31
and national election, and we get it done to us, and if one or two of our people do it
00:37
to them, maybe they think it's funny.
00:40
It probably isn't very funny.
00:42
I can't pretend we're perfect, but what I can tell you is that one of the ways in which we
00:46
have professionalised this party is to put people through a vetting process, and I think
00:52
we've come up with a slate of elected councillors and mayors and a new MP that we can genuinely
01:00
be very proud of.
01:01
And if there is the odd lapse in taste, then I regret it, but it's carnical politics.
01:07
Thank you very much.
