I take it the Nadine Dorries or Dominic Raab scale is too dunderheaded for Abbott 

I thought Braverman-Petal was less ambiguous... given the metric used.

Good to notice that Labour have dealt swiftly with the issue

 

Compares favourably to when it happens in the Tory Party

Raabies is actually pretty smart by accounts I've heard and read. Dorries wears the dunce hat though. Patel also thick as.

I haven't seen what she wrote fully, but she was commenting about a difficult issue.

The leadership would rightly want her to disappear, but she is fairly elected by her constituents.

Basically, she was saying you can't experience racism if you've got white skin. Which is news to a lot of people with white skin who've experienced a whole lot of racism.

I thought she was saying that racism can only happen to different races. Prejudice against a religious group would be called something else.
