Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner was today accused of calling a Tory MP ‘scum’ after he claimed members of the opposition frontbench view coronavirus as a ‘good crisis’. 

Speaking in the House of Commons the Conservative backbencher Chris Clarkson suggested senior Labour figures viewed the current outbreak as an opportunity to be exploited. 

Ms Rayner, who was sat on the frontbench, then appeared to heckle Mr Clarkson who asked her: ‘Excuse me, did the honourable lady just call me scum?’

The exchange prompted an intervention from a furious Commons Deputy Speaker Dame Eleanor Laing who said she would not accept such comments in the chamber ‘under any circumstances’.

The clash between Ms Rayner and Mr Clarkson happened during an opposition day debate in the Commons this afternoon as MPs debated funding for areas facing additional coronavirus restrictions. 

Labour is calling on the Government to publish ‘clear and fair national criteria for financial support for jobs and businesses’ in areas moved into Tier Three. 

Mr Clarkson, the Tory MP for Heywood and Middleton, told Labour to ‘park the opportunism’ as he cited comments made by shadow education secretary Kate Green who previously said Covid-19 was a ‘good crisis’ for the party. 

He said: ‘I know (Kate Green) thinks this is a good crisis that the Labour Party should exploit, and I know she speaks for a lot of her frontbench colleagues when she says that – you just need to see it in the support, U-turn, oppose approach that has characterised their hindsight-heavy behaviour.’

Following a heckle from Ms Rayner, Mr Clarkson replied: ‘Excuse me, did the honourable lady just call me scum?’ 

Dame Eleanor immediately interrupted proceedings and blasted: ‘Order, order, order. From the front bench we do not have remarks like that. 

‘Not under any circumstances, no matter how heartfelt it might be. Not at all.’

Making a point of order in response to the accusation, Ms Rayner said: ‘I think one of the things I’d ask for your guidance on is (Mr Clarkson) saying things about the front bench which is inaccurate in their speech and I’d ask them to withdraw it.’

Dame Eleanor replied: ‘It is not for the chair to decide what is accurate or inaccurate, I cannot make such a judgment.

‘But of course, I will ask (Mr Clarkson) to be reasonable in what he says and to be careful of his remarks.

‘And I’m sure that if (Mr Clarkson) feels that he has said anything that is offensive to (Ms Rayner) then he will undoubtedly withdraw and apologise immediately.’

Resuming his speech, Mr Clarkson said: ‘Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, and thank you for your guidance. 

‘To clarify, I asked (Ms Rayner) if she called me that (scum) – that is what I heard.’

Mr Clarkson proceeded with his speech without withdrawing his earlier comments.

Ms Rayner was elected deputy leader of the Labour Party in April this year after rising to prominence in Westminster as shadow education secretary in Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet. 

The MP for Ashton-under-Lyne, first elected to Parliament in 2015, has previously drawn heavily on her experience as a one-time struggling teenage mother.

The married mother-of-three was 16 when she had her first son, Ryan, and has told how becoming pregnant so young ‘saved’ her.

Her teenage relationship with Ryan’s father ended quickly and she later married Unison official Mark Rayner.

She proudly welcomed her own granddaughter at the age of just 37 with a tweet jokingly referring to herself as ‘Grangela’.
