Sarah Champion MP to leave Shadow Cabinet

Recommended Posts

Breaking news: BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40952224 reports that she stepped-down "due to an extremely poor choice of words".

 

She had written in a newspaper column (The Sun) that Britain had a problem with Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls She was of course elected as Rotherham's MP in the middle of the previous Parliament when the 'grooming' scandal was first publicised by Andrew Norfolk of The Times.

Maybe Ken Livingstone had a word with her.

Odd how 'mis-speaking' often happens to Labour's Shadow Cabinet. Diane Abbott, for instance.

I thought her issue was basic mathematics?

Isn't that a requisite of being a politician, regardless of party:confused:

Cant get my head round why she should resign. Being a Rotherham MP, should she not be part of the conversation surrounding this whole issue ?

What has she said that is not true, not that I would defend any Politician.

Nobody should be afraid to tell the truth. I've got a lot of respect for Champion and what she said was correct
