If she’s telling the truth then I don’t mind the gesture ...

I’d spray them all with stale hippo urine so I guess she was quite restrained...

Social media footage showed the MP gesturing shortly before Boris Johnson's resignation.

Explaining her actions, she said a group outside the gates were "insulting MPs... as is sadly all too common".

She said she should have shown more composure "but is only human".

Ms Jenkyns said she had gone to Downing Street to watch the prime minister's resignation speech on Thursday afternoon.

After a morning marked by increasing numbers of resignations from government, No 10 announced that Boris Johnson would be standing down.

Crowds celebrating his imminent departure then gathered in the area.

Ms Jenkyns was also heard to shout as she left Downing Street following Mr Johnson's speech.

In videos recorded of her leaving, she told the crowd: "He who laughs last, laughs loudest. Wait and see."

In a statement on Twitter, Ms Jenkyns said she had received "huge amounts of abuse from some of the people who were there over the years".

She added: "I have also had seven death threats in the last four years. Two of which have been in recent weeks and are currently being investigated by the police, I had reached the end of my tether.

"I responded and stood up for myself. Just why should anyone have to put up with this kind of treatment."

If she’s telling the truth then maybe she’s just got spirit .

Why should people let idiots in the crowd swear and name call them and just take it .


I hate seeing foul mouthed footie fans screaming obscenities and spitting at the player taking a throw in ..

The type of people who show up to abuse and boo the PM on an occasion like that can be really nasty and toxic, pretty true to form they're outraged by a middle finger though whilst they're happy to intimidate and bully female MPs

There’s a video of her doing this and she was openly taunting them before she even gave the crowd the finger, she’s a Trump supporter, is anything else expected of her?

To be fair that makes no sense ..

It’s far more likely that she along with the others were simply walking past the crowd when a minority started abusing them

Exactly .. after all they didn’t go all that way to simply appreciate or cheer her fashion sense .. they went to abuse and cause a cafuffle

Bad move flipping the bird. Bob Geldof lost the the referendum for the Remoaners doing something similar.

Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years because she apparently was trafficking children to nobody.

Your media doesn't want to find out who she was trafficking these children for. They want to create smokescreens like this instead.
