Her mum, the recently enobled Baroness Osamor, looks a bit of a bruiser too!
Nominated by Corbyn. Founding member of the Broadwater Farm Defence (sic) Campaign. Nuff said?

I would have thought an intelligent man could come up with a more sensible comment than one based on how someone looks, although not exactly surprising going by past history.

'An intelligent man'? As rare as a hen's tooth on here.

Not one mention on here when a Conservative MP called Corbyn a C***
Whilst I don't wish to defend either
It should be even handed
I recognise there's real fear that Corbyn may get into number 10
So the national media tories and others thatt don't want to lose there cosy existence are orchestrating a campaign against him

Was that during a debate or in the Chamber as I do not remember hearing about that.

Classic Jezza. Politicising a tribute to Paddy Ashdown. Very bad form.

I thought the 'against damaging government policies' minority bit of his tribute was ill-chosen and superfluous. Whereas Mr Major's tribute comes across as 'Paddy was a good bloke even when disagreeing with me', Mr Corbyn's tribute ends up with a tang of 'Paddy was a good bloke when he had common cause with me'.
On the other hand, I didn't get the kerfuffle over the alleged 'stupid woman' comment; he thought Mrs May was stupid and she is a woman - so what? He is not alleged to have said 'you're stupid, but that's what you expect from a woman'. I suspect a PC comment of 'you stupid chairperson' (or even 'you stupid chair') would have made nary a ripple.

I am concerned that Tories MPs, while raging against the restrictions of PC thinking, would simultaneously employ the language of 'offence' to manufacture an outrage, especially at this time of year. I mean, with all that port and stilton on the table, they could very easily suffer an apoplexy. Stupid really.

It was a stupid comment made by a stupid man about a stupid woman and was a good way of diverting attention from the stupid Brexit issue for a little while.

The greater crime was that he was too spineless to admit it and apologise!

What a farce considering how the Government is going about things, Jezza needs to shed his personal ambition and let someone electable take over as party leader.

Courtesy of the Times - could be the beginning of the end for Jezza.
Labour MPs defied Jeremy Corbyn’s appeal to boycott Downing Street talks on Brexit as it emerged that a second Brexit referendum would take a year to arrange. Hilary Benn and Yvette Cooper, two of the party’s most senior backbench figures, led a parade of Labour MPs attending talks with Theresa May and other senior cabinet ministers. Mr Corbyn refused last night to see Mrs May until the option of leaving the EU without a deal was removed and prevented other Labour frontbenchers from accepting invitations earlier today.
He then urged all Labour MPs to also snub the prime minister in an emailed letter. That appeal was ignored, however, as both main party leaders struggled to maintain control in the Brexit crisis.
In addition to Mr Benn and Ms Cooper, Labour MPs seen arriving for negotiations in the Cabinet Office included Stephen Kinnock, John Mann and Ben Bradshaw. Meanwhile, it has emerged that a second Brexit referendum would take a year to arrange, according to an official paper prepared for Mrs May’s cross-party Brexit talks. Her spokeswoman admitted that officials had drawn up a paper on a referendum after Liz Saville-Roberts, the Plaid Cymru leader at Westminster, disclosed the details of her meeting with the prime minister. “The prime minister made it clear how much they'd already been looking at these areas themselves,” she told Sky News following her meeting in No 10 last night.
The Welsh nationalist added: “We were able to go into some depth about the considerations. That was particularly interesting with her yesterday. Then today with Michael Gove and David Lidington we went into considerably more detail about what would be the necessary procedure to bring forward a People’s Vote: what the House would need to do, what the time requirements would be, what would be the necessity for Article 50.” It is understood that the short paper — described as a “single sheet of A4” — had included an estimate that it would take a year to arrange to hold a second vote. Campaigners insist that the necessary logistics, including legislation, could be compressed into a couple of months.

Jezza being a selfless individual was in Hastings today, not because it is a target seat but to show solidarity with the staff at the Conquest hospital. For those who weren't responding to conventional treatment he offered the "laying on of hands" to effect a miracle cure.

How much longer can he carry on? Yesterday a three line whip was issued and some MPs ignored it and eight of his front benchers abstained knowing that he is too weak to take action against them. I still don't really know what he actually wants and he just appears to be worried about upsetting his younger supporters who want a second vote and leave voters in the Labour heartlands. He has to come out with a clear message if he wants to achieve his ambition of being our Prime Minister.
