Senior Labour MP resigns after revealing what she really thinks about the working classes

The MP for Islington South and Finsbury, who was elected from an all-women short list and lives in a £3million house in North London even argued the huge flak she was taking over it showed "a prejudiced attitude towards Islington".

She was accused by fellow Labour MP Simon Danczuk of "being derogatory and dismissive of the people."

‘Everyone will know exactly what she meant by that comment" he added. "‘I’ve talked about this previously. It’s like the Labour party has been hijacked by the north London liberal elite and it’s comments like that which reinforce that view."

"I want to see more people flying the British flag" he said, mistakenly referring to the union flag.

One senior Labour insider told MailOnline it was 'worse than the Gillian Duffy moment', when during the 2010 general election campaign former prime minister Gordon Brown was recorded calling a voter a 'bigoted woman’.

Andrew Rosindell, Conservative member for Romford told Brietbart London, "This is a typical example of Labour riding roughshod over people who love this country. Patriotism is not a dirty word and it's about time Ed Miliband and his chums recognised that".

Speaking from the count in Rochester, UKIP MEP Ray Finch told Breitbart London, "I've been so proud to have met so many great people in Rochester and Strood during this campaign.

"For somebody like Emily Thornbury, who has very little in common with them, to belittle them in this way makes me sick. This is yet another reason why ordinary working class people are flocking to the people's army."

Not much shocks me much in politics anymore but when Guido first broke this story I couldn't believe it - not that she thought that of the working classes, as all Labour MPs do who are completely detatched from their core vote - but the fact she actually was stupid enough to post the tweet. Even more shocking to me (and hiliarious) was that then MP who tweeted this just happened to be from Islington, a common phrase for our politics 'the Islington Elite' when talking about how out of touch from everybody else they are.

George Orwell (to the left himself) wrote many decades ago this, and it's always been true in this country...

“In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during ‘God save the King’ than of stealing from a poor box.”

Great timing though from Labour just as they're losing the working class vote to Ukip and the SNP. Great fun to watch.

Thoughts?

I seem to recall you arguing that a UKIP Councillor saying "gay people cause floods" doesn't truly represent the party and that it was 'pathetic' to post it yet here you are doing exactly the same, albeit this incident is nowhere near on par with anything the average UKIP councillor has done. You're just a massive hypocrite.

Because a nutty local councilllor who was a Tory defector is clearly on the same level as the Shadow Attorney General. :rolleyes:

Besides, we've seen a Labour PRIME MINISTER do this before... remember Gordon Brown?

Labour are facing a big problem with their working class core to Ukip and the SNP, not just because the top brass of the party hate and despise their opinions as shown by both Thornberry and Brown, but because they no longer have any connection with their working class areas: they simply have taken them for granted thinking they'll always vote red. You bringing in some bonkers Ukip councillor who was thrown out with silly comments about gays (who cares about the 'pink vote' which would be unlikely to vote Ukip anyway?) doesn't make this untrue or not happening. It is happening and there's one issue that is really driving it, at least in England: uncontrolled mass immigration.

The very fact Labour are now being forced to say publically how much they 'respect' the white van man shows how much trouble they are in.

The same principle applies, does it not? Using one person to represent the party (which you claim to hate so much). "not that she thought that of the working classes, as all Labour MPs " At least have the decency to admit you're a hypocrite and doing exactly the same thing that you criticised me and others for doing.

God that Tweet is hilarious and makes a very good point.

Guido's getting ****** over nothing.

[dbgtz]

I'm probably being blonde but I don't understand why that tweet is so bad.

[Inseriousity.]

Irony of this story is that she's come from a council estate single-parent family - the very broken family that conservatives despise - climbed her way up from the secondary modern school to Shadow Attorney General now looks down her nose at working class people living their lives however they want

So you're asking me to say that all of Ukip's top brass believe gays cause thunderstorms based on the comments of one councillor compared to the comments/attitudes to the working class as shown from the Shadow Attorney General, other Labour politicians and their record in government? She, like the party she represents, inhabit a completely different world in the capital.

If Farage or any top Ukip politician ever sneered at normal people like this pig Thornberry did then there's not a chance in hell I would vote for them.

What 'good point' is that then?

I'm a small-c conservative and I don't 'despise' those families. I just think strong married families, on council estates or not, are better than broken homes and children being carted from one house to another between two feuding parents every week.

[Inseriousity.]

Maybe not you (although the stereotypes you sometimes ascribe to single parent families means you could be in this category) but the success of someone from a single-parent poor family to reach a high rank in politics is somehow alien to them with their political discourse so heavily focused on soundbites 'broken home', 'broken britain', 'council estate', 'leeching off the system', 'baby machine for a house' etc.
