The Thornberry residence, the lady of the House speaking.

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's snobbery and one-upmanship. People trying to pretend they're superior. Makes it so much harder for those of us who really are.           - Hyacinth Bucket

Labour's Emily Thornberry famously got into a spot of bother over a snobbish tweet after seeing a house in Rochester with three England flags and a white van parked outside. Did she learn her lesson? Of course no. Caroline Flint, the fallen rose of the Labour Party, has been on Sophie Ridge's Sky programme this morning and revealed that Emily Thornberry told a Labour MP in a pro-Leave seat (i.e. her): "I’m glad my constituents aren’t as stupid as yours".

I do hope the BBC asks Ms Thornberry about it the next time they speak to her.
