Ex-Labour MP Caroline Flint claims Thornberry called voters 'stupid'
'She cannot make up sh** about me': Emily Thornberry says she WILL sue Caroline Flint for claiming she branded northern Brexit voters 'stupid'
"Ms Thornberry resigned from the shadow cabinet in 2014 after she was accused of snobbery for tweeting a picture of a terrace home with England flags hanging from the windows"
Labour: Thornberry begins legal action over 'stupid' Brexit claims
"Labour's Emily Thornberry says she has begun legal action against a former colleague who claimed that she called some Leave voters "stupid".
She said Caroline Flint's claim she had told an MP from a Leave-voting area "I am glad my constituents aren't as stupid as yours" was "a complete lie".
Ms Flint, who lost her seat at the election, has stood by her remarks."
Wonder which one is telling the truth. Thornberry's use of the words "slag off" and, several times, "shit", not to mention the 2014 tweeting of the white van outside a house displaying England flags, suggests that she not only may not always be in full control of her tongue but also is capable of taking a dim view of the "lower orders".
