To the point where a Tory MP on Have I Got News For You complained about the "innuendo" and was quite deservedly laughed at, since when it comes to innuendo, nothing beats the right-wing (generally) Tory-loving British tabloids.
Not a really fair statement - the Tory party does not support or bless or officially condone the tabloids, so an individual Tory MP can have higher standards than the tabloids without that being a cause for amusement. (Frankly, an amoeba could have higher standards than the tabloids without it being a cause for amusement. Lalalala, I try to pretend the tabloids and the Mail don't exist.) And she wasn't exactly laughed at for that , more beaten down - I hate those episodes where they have the token political person, because they're very rarely funny enough to hold their own against everyone else. Even worse when it's the only woman in the room.
