What a curious thing for Labour’s Emily Thornberry to tweet. Was it the white van, the England flag or the house that so offended Lady Nugee? How would she like it if someone posted a picture of one of her many, many houses online?
UPDATE: The internet reacts:
At what point does a Labour MP, from a party struggling to retain the loyalty of the working-class, think "tweeting this is a good idea".

If you're working class and like football, especially if you support West Ham then @EmilyThornberry doesn't want you to vote for @UKLabour

@EmilyThornberry Hold on love. Are you a Labour MP or Hyacinth Bucket?

UPDATE: A Labour spokesperson says “what’s the problem?”
They just don’t get it.
