    Congrats mate, you've uncovered the first political figure to ever make insensitive and derogatory remarks about an opponent.

      The Far Left? Another half-arsed wind up?

      She supported Yvette Cooper (nominated Corbyn like many others but didn't support him), Owen Smith and Kier Starmer in the Labour leadership contests.

      She is a Starmer loyalist.

          She’s apologised and been suspended straight away
          No doubt some media will jump on this but given how it’s been appropriately dealt with seems a bit of a non story now

              Stupid bitch , doing the Tories work for them the day before the leaders speech

              Absolutely nothing going on upstairs , these people will rant and rant but they are no help in getting labour elected

              She's an elected mp , she should be keeping things above water not damaging the party

              Look how all the Tories are jumping on the horse to slag off the labour party regarding racism

              Daft bitch

                Oh come on...It absolutely is right to expose it

                Labour actually come out of it looking good. Any party with several hundred MP's will inevitably have scandals..they have dealt with it swiftly.

                  Blair drilled his troops , none of this idiotic loose talk at bloody focus groups

                  To beat the Tories you prepare for battle

                  And stay in line

                    The Daily Mail will run page one stories on it for thirteen successive days like they did about beergate I bet.

                      So you think this will send voters back to the Tories after all that’s happened since the last election? Anyone who switches solely because of this would never have voted Labour on polling day.

                        The whole mini-drama will only draw people to Labour, and I offer myself as evidence of that. I assure you that a lot of people object to the kind of identity politics obsession that has taken hold within left-wing circles. In most cases it's just annoying, but it also sows the seeds of division and every so often it manifests itself in comments like Rupa Huqs - that she was quickly suspended and quickly apologised is impressive and gives me hope that Labour won't become enslaved to that kind of thinking.

                        A few things have put me off Labour in recent years. Off the top of my head;

                        1 - We generally needed a change after 2008 - Needless to say we are well past that now :thumbup:
                        2 - They needed to embrace and respect leaving the EU :thumbup:
                        3 - Need to stand up for Britain and not flirt with the SNP :thumbup:
                        4 - Need to denounce Corbynism more widely :thumbup:
                        5 - Economic competence (the most important) :thumbup:
                        6 - Come up with some kind of viable policies on immigration
                        7 - Address the general obsession of identity politics / race / what some may call 'wokeism'.

                        Yesterdays speech alone was probably the single most likely thing that would make me vote Labour since Blair. I still think we need change in Wales mind.

                          Did she not call Rishi a little brown man as well ??

                          There are many reports of this behaviour form within the Labour party and its supporters , they are racist just we have to accept is as we do of the other parties ..

                          We were told that racism played a huge part in the Brexit leave decision, and yes hoards of Labour voters ticked that box to leave ,many in Wales .



                          Best way to approach is how socialist consider the Tories as alleged racist ,well sorry so Labour and have been caught out again so many times especially in their little nasty fringe events .

                          I think this is partly an Indian v Pakistan thing .

                          Find it amusing how she points the finger of the Eton privilege and expression of Kwasi Kwarteng , she also had a privilege background delivered by her parents .. Rupa is a metropolitan Labour elite East Pakistan lady ,with a grievance in my humble view worth noting she went to the private Notting Hill and Ealing High School. & Newnham College, Cambridge.

                          The biggest worry we should perhaps reorganise that black people have got into very top jobs in the Tory party sadly its a sore point for others ......... at least the UK can provide it gave immigrants a platform to succeed .

                          Finally lets consider the fact that Eton has 19% of black attendees , the UK black Demographic is at 13% .

                            Can any Labour supporters inform us how a black chap should sound on the radio?
