Default Labour MP Emily Thornberry has resigned from her post as shadow attorney general

http://news.sky.com/story/1377386/mp...ochester-tweet


[The representative for Islington South
and Finsbury, in north London,
posted a picture of a house draped
with three England flags with
a white van parked in the drive
during a by-election visit to the
Kent constituency. It was captioned
"Image from Rochester".
Political opponents and
some Twitter users accused her
of looking down on the occupants
of the house.]




[A Rich Labour MP caused fury yesterday by seeming to sneer
at
a White Van Man’s England flags.
Emily Thornberry quit last night as Shadow Attorney General
after tweeting a snap of car dealer Dan Ware’s
home decked with three St George crosses.
She wrote: “Image from #Rochester” — where Ukip
were last night set to win a key by-election.

The gaffe comes as Labour officials fear a tidal wave
of voters will defect to Ukip. The 54-year-old MP for Islington South,
a close ally of Labour leader Ed Miliband, tweeted the photo
while door-knocking for votes in the Kent town. ]
