London: Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper faced a backlash on Tuesday for comparing the legs on show when British Prime Minister Theresa May and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon held talks.
“Never mind Brexit, who won Legs-it!”, the tabloid’s front page said, alongside a picture of the two leaders meeting in a Glasgow hotel on Monday. The coverage sparked a swift backlash against Britain’s second-most popular newspaper.
Opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: “It’s 2017. This sexism must be consigned to history.”
