The former shadow home secretary deleted the tweet over migrant deaths after just over an hour. A Conservative MP has accused her of “exploiting a tragedy” for political gain.

    And yet the tory MP who she was quoting has faced no consequences.

    Consider for a moment the difference in public response to vile comments from the right and then an MP on the left using those exact same comments to highlight the barbarism of the right.

    Only one political side is hamstringing themselves with illusions of decorum, and the other side is running circles around them by exploiting it.

      Yep. I’m in no way defending the Tories here, or saying it’s right that she’s the only one to be called out. Just commenting on how idiotic this woman seems to be (no idea whether she actually is or not).
