The Daily Mail front page picturing Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon asking "who won Legs-it" has been condemned as ‘deliberately demeaning and provocative’ by MP Nicky Morgan.

The former Education Secretary told 5 live Breakfast: “You've got two very senior female politicians who are discussing weighty issues and this is what a national newspaper thinks is appropriate".

The piece, by Sarah Vine, was part of more than a page of coverage on the two leaders' appearance. The front page appeared on Twitter on Monday night.

The Daily Mail responded to the criticism, saying it often comments on the appearance of male politicians "including Cameron's waistline, Osborne's hair, Corbyn's clothes - and even Boris's legs".

It went on: "Is there a rule that says political coverage must be dull or has a po-faced Â鶹Éç and left-wing commentariat, so obsessed by the Daily Mail, lost all sense of humour… and proportion?"
