| Description | Angela Rayner says she will apologise for calling Boris Johnson "scum" when he retracts past comments she described as homophobic, racist and misogynistic.
Labour's deputy leader was reported to have called Tory ministers "a bunch of scum" at a Labour conference event.
One Conservative minister accused Ms Rayner of "talking crap", while another urged her to apologise.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said he would not have used that language and would "talk to her later".
Ms Rayner was reported to have made her remarks about Mr Johnson at a reception on Saturday evening.
Asked on Sunday morning if she would retract the remarks, she said she believed the prime minister was a "racist, homophobic misogynist".
"I think he needs to apologise for comments he has made in the past," Ms Rayner told the BBC, adding: "I will apologise when Boris apologises for saying the comments he has made, I will retract that he is scum." |
