| The famous Emily Thornberry |
This morning's Andrew Marr show also featured Emily Thornberry, newly sensible-sounding and boring. (Has she been coached?)
You might not be aware though of a letter which Ms Thornberry has recently sent to the BBC on behalf of a constituent concerning a 2013 edition of Panorama. It was addressed to Panorama editor Rachel Jupp:
After the MPs expenses scandal - where duck-pond nesting-boxes were seized upon with relish as being high on the list of misdemeanour - how about a witch-hunt into BBC expenses? Abuses by MPs might seem innocent thereafter.
ReplyDeleteThis one could get interesting, or result in nothing at all if it's knobbled.

They've been covering this for a couple of years. If this story gets legs, Boris Johnson will be put under a spotlight that he won't enjoy - British government funding of the White Helmets and contributions to anti Assad media to the tune of millions. In the long run, Thornberry sees this as a gotcha moment, but I'll be amazed if it goes any further. It'll turn Boris into Blair which, in my opinion, he deserves.
