Emily Thornberry

[LovelyBath77]

Just saw an interview with this woman and how irritating is she? I thought Diane Abbot was bad but she is dreadful!

[Crunchymum]

She's my MP. And I'm voting labour

[LovelyBath77]

Hmm, good luck with that! ;-)

[NannyOggsKnickers]

I like her. Well done her for holding Fallon to account on Assad.

[LovelyBath77]

She seems quite unstable to me.

[AlwaysTheWinner]

I like her too. She usually comes across well on TV in my opinion. She would make a better Foreign Secretary than Boris. But then most people would!

[HardcoreLadyType]

Well done her for holding Fallon to account on Assad.

Well, exactly.

His argument was "we were friends, then". Well, surely we are friends with Sinn Fein, now, so the Jeremy Corbyn thing is equally just a difference in timing.

I am no fan of Corbyn, by the way, but I'm even less a fan of hypocrisy.

[Shardonnay]

That would be Emily White Van Thornberry?

[TeamLannister]

I think she's great. She did a top job putting manners on that hypocrite Fallon.

[Bishybarnybee]

She's not that bad. Are you Tory HQ?

[ilovesooty]

I don't see why anyone would want to start an unpleasant thread about someone, add a link when it didn't get instant attention then say that the person seems unstable.

Nasty.

[Shardonnay]

She's not as bad as Dianne Abbott thought vh.?

[Dianneabbottsmathsteacher]

She's an embaressnt to labour she didn't know the name of her French counterpart and then accused the journalist of being sexist as he had asked her hard questions!

As a Labour Party member it makes me squirm. Fucking idiot

[ExplodedCloud]

She did have the white van incident yes. But I do quite like her. She was (is?) A barrister and worked on Human Rights.
I'd like more politicians to be told they're talking bollocks when they are.

[TheFairyCaravan]

Michael Fallon is talking bollocks about a lot of things. Every single question he answered, about the military, on Marr was lies.

I was so glad he was put on the spot by Emily Thornberry at the end of the program.

[derxa]

She is everything that is wrong with modern politics. She has complete contempt for ordinary people.

[Two4One2017]

There are pictures of JC with Assad too..... not sure what her point was. Shall we talk about IRA and Hamas...??

I think she's pretty good on TV and as she's always on is clearly the presentable face of the front bench.

[SadEyedPete]

Prince Harry is Hewitt born. Debbie Harry is an embarrassment to the Labour Party and I think people like her will cause a higher number of Tory voters unfortunately

[TheAntiBoop]

She does manage to come across as contemptuous of the electorate (white van man/people choosing to vote because they like May's hair etc etc).

There are a lot of labour politicians I have a lot of time for (my own mp for a start) but they never seem to be the ones I hear in the radio.

[LovelyBath77]

I just added the link to show the interview, not because of attention. I had heard of her, but not seen her in action before! Ah yes I remember that white van man thing, so that was her was it?

And it is not nasty, it's important, these are MPs..

[PetalMettle]

Probably @theantiboop as so many are steering clear of this administration. That being said I quite like thornberry. Wvm thing was Cringe but I found her a good local MP - @crunchymum I used to live just off upper street

[LovelyBath77]

She made me cringe, and feel sick watching her!

Where do they get them from...

[PortiaCastis]

There are no MPs at the moment as parliament has been dissolved.
Good on Emily for holding Fallon to account

[ilovesooty]

Perhaps you need to alter your viewing if she had such a profound effect on you.

And alleging that someone seems unstable is nasty
