Loony pro-Chavez Labour MP Grahame Morris (above centre) is getting very tetchy this afternoon, threatening to sue anyone criticising him for his stance on the country and comparing himself to Lord McAlpine:

@torydom :Now that is not true is it. Check the record. Careful remember Lord McAlpine sued.

Go back to March last year, before Maduro ordered the arrest of the opposition leader and Venezuela descended into state sponsored violence, and Morris was full of praise for the tyrant responsible:

@sunechomark :#Chavez a symbol of hope for poor people across the South America. VP Nicholas Maduro is a worthy successor #solidarity

Still the likes of Morris, Owen Jones and Diane Abbott refuse to condemn the violence…
