@dave43law @NadineDorries They have clipped it to remove the previous commentary about the situation around the first time she had to curtsy and afterwards when the other royal women told her she did fine to make it look like she's mocking the Queen instead of herself.

How can they let Ellman back in when she signed the letter in the press telling people not to vote Labour. People have been excluded for 5 years just for a hypothetical tweet about voting for a different party if they lived in another constituency. Double standards as usual.

That she talked about on LBC and passed to the Met who only found one case that passed the threshold for a charge to be laid?

@Keir_Starmer The EHRC that only found 2 cases that they considered unlawful you mean and that gave Jeremy Corbyn the explicit right to comment on the scale of antisemitism in the party which you removed the whip for? 0.03% is hardly a crisis. You have lost my family's votes.
