£3.78 billion buys us this



BBC political correspondent Susana Mendonça popped up on BBC Breakfast this morning shortly after 7 o'clock. She said:
We saw Frank Field resigning, citing antisemitism and also a culture of nastiness as he saw it in the Labour Party just last week, so there is a concern certainly from what John McDonnell is saying that there could be more splits. He talks about the SDLP, when a number of Labour MPs left the party in the 80s and how that led to the Labour Party losing votes in those constituencies, he doesn't want to see that happening. 
Hmm. The SDLP, eh, Susana? No one on the sofa picked her up on that.  

It got worse after 8 o'clock. Evidently, no one in the entire studio had picked her up on it either:
And John McDonnell there referring also to the SDLP, which was when back in the '80 we had four Labour MPs who left the party and formed the SDLP. 
As you all know (even though you're not BBC political correspondents):

  1. That'll be the SDLP led by David Jenkins, Roy Owen, Shirley Valentine and Wild Bill Hickok will it, Susana?

  2. She's never heard of Gerry Fitt.
