Whatever the outcome I reckon it’s ended thornberry leadership hopes.

I think she's married to Sir Ian Nugee QC so she will be well advised (Thornberry). If Flint's comments are held defamatory, Flint will have to prove the comments are not defamatory as I think it works the other way round in defamation where the defence has to prove that something deemed slanderous/libellous is actually not so.
Poker, it all seems very messy! If it does get to court then I predict a Thornberry win given it sounds like hearsay from Flint. Put it this way, Thornberry's got more chance of winning this than the leadership. |
|
By:
I agree, sir.
Flint didn’t appear too confident today. I believe Flint, but guess everything depends whether or not the other MP corroborates her claims. He or she might be reluctant to get involved... and with good reason. |

*Christopher Nugee, not Ian Nugee - just looked him up. He's now a High Court judge.

Does miss piggy like a drink,sounds like something someone might say after a few bevvys.if so she may have forgotten.

Settle it the Mad Max way. Two women enter, one woman leaves.

By:
Don’t forget the White Van Man incident, Mr B.
I believe Caroline Flint’s accusation. It sounds exactly the sort of thing Thornberry would say to me. |
|
By:
Yes poker,her history isn’t her friend.
|
|
By:
I know what you mean Poker but that is no basis for a defence. Norman Tebbitt tried it in a case against someone who had on more than one occasion written messages on local authority stationery supporting CND. His argument was struck out because the instances were unrelated.

Thornberry will succumb to a swift butt on her Durante snotter from Flints Frankiestyle napper
|
|
By:
Very true, Mr E.
I didn’t mean to suggest that Flint should cite the WVM incident, sir. It’s just one of many things that lead me to believe her claim. |

If the quote was on , Who wants to be a millionaire,
and the audience were left with a 50-50 of Thorn and Flint. 95% would pick Thorn, the other 5% would guess. |
|
By:
Thornberry seems very ill advised to pursue this.
What she is accused of saying amounts to little. All she had to do was deny she said it, and it would have been forgotten by now. If this goes to court it can only harm her, because she loses even if she wins with all her past history coming out in court and published in the papers the next day. And if she loses she be at the very least a laughing stock. |

By:
I'm with Flint all the way. Summat imo she would deffo think and more than likely say, as has already been mentioned, the St George flag incident. Typical over-reaction. Can't be seen saying such things unless caught bang to rights.

Talk about a storm in a teacup.
And women reckon there would be less aggro in the world if they were in charge  |
|
By:
Good luck Caroline Flint. Hope you pop that inflated bigot.
|
|
By:
That Flint looks like a wee sleekit fooker to me....Thornberry all the way.
 |
|
By:
What's Flinty going to do now? She's 58.
|
|
By:
Is she really? Looks good for 58 to be fair. How old is Thornberry?
|
|
By:
59
|
|
By:
I do fancy Flinty though I have to admit...I think she would want it dirty.
 |
|
By:
What are you doing here? Stick to Call Me Lord!
|
|
By:
We all get it wrong sometimes impossible.
 |
|
By:
Imagine spanking Thornberry until she squealed with delight!
 |
|
By:
You filthy depraved deviants.
|
|
By:
What a revolting thought, 'Torque'? She's still recovering from her biking incident.

dr crippen...plus her hubby works for her....another 40k lost

Team Flint for me. Nugeee is a vile individual.
|
|
By:
Nugee a rough looking sort imo .
|
|
By:
pretty obvious who most people would believe
|
|
By:
Hope Caroline Flint gives her one hell of a b*tch slap. Quite Like Flint tbh. Seems genuine.
|
|
By:
An extremely childish spat between two former colleagues. Thornberry ought to have been more sympathetic and understanding (to ignore) the comment by Flint given the latter's predicament at the election; a legal route is an immature way to deal with this unfortunate event.
One party needs to lower their ego a smidgeon for a solution. |
|
By:
Agree MO sad to see her lose her seat ..
|
|
By:
Was fairly likely to happen.
|
|
By:
Just seen thornberry on tv, has this spat died a death or is it ongoing?

Eating the most doughnuts and I'm lumping on Thornberry !"
