He is a traitor and a hypocrite in many ways. Says one thing, does another.

He will happily ignore his so-called principles and promises over Brexit as soon as he sees an opportunity to get his foot through the door of no 10. Pretty keen to power grab himself and ignore all the leave voters in his own party.

Love it when his own party members are more loyal to their voters than he is and stand up to him.

Has he commented on it yet?

Jeremy Corbyn is under pressure to remove the party whip from one of his MPs after ‘unacceptable’ comments she made about a Tory candidate were discovered online. (http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/jeremy-corbyn-asked-to-remove-whip-from-emma-dent-coad-over-unacceptable-comments_uk_5a0b0f59e4b00a6eece47459)

Emma Dent Coad apologised for offending London Assembly Member Shaun Bailey, after a six-year-old blog post in which she referred to him as a “token ghetto boy” and a “scumbag” was unearthed by the Guido Fawkes website.

But Conservative MPs James Cleverly and Kemi Badenoch have now written to the Labour leader to ask if he will remove the whip from Dent Coad, who won her Kensington seat at the snap general election.

They said: “The comments made by Ms Dent Coad in relation to Mr Bailey are unacceptable in any circumstance and particularly so from an elected representative.

that's ok, it happened years ago so no problem. If it had been someone appearing on BB there would be hell to pay :laugh:

Just like the claims of anti-Semitism, this will go nowhere. Labour feel free to say whatever they want and then people line up to justify them. How can someone sit in Parliament as an elected representative of a multicultural constituency, and say what she said? She's a disgrace.

[smudgie]

Oh dear.
She has to go.:fist:

[joeysteele]

He would do better to do so.
A lot of MPs at present seem to heading into the territory of having the whip removed.
Across the board.

No one can at preseñt act holier than though across several issues.

This really should have all been cleared up at the time of the expenses scandal. It's ridiculous the way they behave. People have little to no respect or trust for political figures, and it's of their own making. The broom needs to come out now or there will be pay back down the line.

[Kizzy]

It was a horrible thing to say, yet if we trawled every MPs twitter over the last 6yrs there would be some very sparse benches.

They really can't get over Labour being in control in Kensington and Chelsea can they?

[Northern Monkey]

It’s not just the ghetto boy comment though.She drew a man being hanged from the Tory logo tree.Clearly racist.

Thanks Oliver. :thumbs:

As for the topic :whistle:

And that's why they forced her to make a racist comment.

Oh no, wait...

Is that a rhetorical question?

Is that a rhetorical question?

Does it look like one to you?

[Kizzy]

Does it look like one to you?

Not to me, but then I don't speak for everyone...

Charlie Elphicke had the whip removed and he's just asked a question at PMQs so it's not altogether limiting.

Except the Zulus, obviously.

I don't think your bold friend would appreciate the direction this could go, let's stick to the topic eh?
