Ousted Labour MP: Emily Thornberry called voters 'stupid' 

I actually like Caroline flint, comes across as decent person, unlike the rest of the swamp and yes she is right about Mrs thornburry

It’s amazing how clearly they speak when they are no longer an MP

Same thing happened here in Australia when the Labor Party lost,treated the voters with contempt.

A shame she has lost her seat when Diane Abbott keeps hers. When will labour learn?

Emily Thornberry has that permanent look of distaste on her face.

Talks a lot of sense. Emily Thornberry has denied making that comment of course, but I'm inclined to believe Caroline on that one.

Emila thornberry activaly despises the working class.

Corbyn was bad but Emily Thornberry did her bit for the Tory victory and so did Hillary Benn.

I’m a Tory,but a shame she lost her seat,she was for leave,good luck to her in the future.

She's not perfect but I've always like Caroline. Compared to the current lot she is miles ahead. Shame she's one of the ones who lost their seats..

5:17 Emily Thornberry thinks Northerners who voted for Brexit are stupid. If this was Jacob Rees-mogg the mainstream media would've crucified him.

I doubt Thornberry ever remembers what she's said when she sobers up in the morning.

Caroline is one of the mps that should’ve kept her seat

Caroline Flint is the very best of Labour. She's not just saying this now but has been one of the small number of Labour MPs consistently saying the Leave vote ought to be respected - and I've seen her being laughed at by some of her parliamentary colleagues for doing so. Glad to see the back of the others, but she of all people did not deserve to lose her seat.

Many Labour supporters walked around their local streets & realised that they were foreigners in a strange land...

Best analysis I've heard yet. Based on this interview Flint should get the top job, she actually understands her electorate.

Don't worry said the London bubble, everybody likes us on twitter.

Labours attempt to cover up Rotherham might have been a factor

Caroline Flint is the best leader the Labour Party never had. She would certainly make me consider voting for them again. The current crop are a crock of ****.

Spot on with what was just said working class people are not stupid that is why the conservatives are in power 😁

Never liked Thornberry, nasty piece of work. I can imagine her saying it.

The only one I Labour MP was genuinely sorry to see lose their seat.

I've been Labour all my life, but in the last 2 General Elections I haven't voted Labour. My main issue was their stance on Brexit. At first they were going to honour the will of the people, then when they failed in the European Elections they realised they were always going to be behind Conservatives with that policy, so decided to change to a 2nd referendum policy, in the hope that would sway voters. However, most Leavers (myself included) know that politics is unpredictable and a 2nd referendum had a chance of swaying the other way and that could mean the end of Brexit. So most ardent Leave supporters wouldn't vote for the Lib Dems (which would mean revoking Article 50) and they wouldn't vote for Labour (which would mean there was a chance of revoking Article 50). The former Labour MP for Blyth Valley, Ronnie Campbell (who was retiring his seat anyway), always said that he would back the majority of his constituents' wishes by backing Brexit, and he said after Labour's defeat in Blyth Valley that if the Party doesn't listen to the people then they have to accept the consequences. Any MP who's constituents voted a Leave majority in 2016, but decided they know best and backed either revoking Article 50, or asking for a 2nd referendum should have expected to lose their seat in this election.

CAROLINE FLINT = RESPECTABLE, HONEST, VISIONARY

I believe Flint. I remember when Thornberry posted that image on social media of a house with a white van outside and an England flag hanging outside. She made some stupid comment then, so I can 100% believe she said what Caroline Flint is claiming.

At least Jeremy did bring the Country back together...to vote Tory !

Credit to her, being honest in analysis.

I like Caroline and she for me is an honourable MP .. unlike thornberry ❗️

It's the sort of thing Thonrburry would say, remember how she ridiculed white van man..Let her sue her

I remember that Emily Thornberry criticised someone with a white van outside their house and flying a Union Jack. She is a disgrace to working class people and she would never have been voted back in if she represented a constituency outside of London. We all know that London has over 40% foreigners. In fact, London is virtually another country!

I feel really sorry for this lady,always the good ones effected.

How about an England first policy?: A strong England for England!

One of the few labour mp’s that was worth a damn.

I honestly thought it was a joke when I first heard thornberry’s name floated as a potential corbyn successor. The Labour Party is completely suicidal if it goes for that disgrace

Mrs Flint did not blink or look away when she said "Thornberry called constituents Stupid" I think she is telling the truth.

The likes of MP's like Caroline Flint, Frank Field and Kate Hoey will be sorely missed... Credit to them.

A Labour MP with common sense and a sky host letting her speak, I cannot believe my eyes.

Get Emily Thornberry as leader of the opposition! That way Labour will get less than 100 seats next time.

Caroline Flint was born and grew up in Twickenham, Middlesex, close to the Thames. She graduated from the University of East Anglia. She is really a London suburban person. She is skilled enough to seem classless, and served as MP for a semi-industrial Labour area in South Yorkshire between Doncaster and Sheffield for 22 years. No wonder even Boris Johnson himself regretted that she has been voted out of Parliament. Unfortunately, even if she gets back in, a sensible centre-left Labour Government is not likely for two Parliaments - perhaps 2028 - by when she could be too old to be given a Cabinet post (despite her youthful looks for a 58-year-old....)

Listening to Thornberry over the years, its come as no surprise to hear what she said about the electorate. I genuinely believe she said it and meant it. Remember the man with the white van? She needs to be sent packing.

Actually couldn’t believe it when I saw she was 58 years old she looks half that age. One of the few great labour mps

This interview has effectively ended Emily Thornberry's chances of becoming the next leader.

A barrister (not the coffee making kind), married to a judge, with properties in central London. Not exactly at the coal face.

To be fair to Caroline Flint, for a Labour MP she actually wasn't bad. One of the very few that actually talked some sense.

Having the media against Trump didn't stop him. lol

Thornberry has form on sneering at the working class, so I am inclined to believe Caroline.

If Caroline Flint had been the Labour candidate in the recent Hartlepool by-election, I suspect it would still be a Labour seat.

Caroline Flint has a lot of good sense. Pity those around her had very little

Labour went too far left, which let's be honest, is not the mindset of their working class constituents.

Emily Thornberry represents all that is bad about Labour, I'm speaking as an ex labour voter.

Dianne Abbott to lead and find a shadow minister named Costello and they have the perfect set-up. 😂

She's the only decent Labour politician. 9:38 - yeh thats me.

Im a conservative voter but i like caroline flint i have much respect for her honesty.

The two saddest moments of the election, Flint loosing her seat, and Yvette Cooper keeping hers.

Caroline is such a lovely, genuine lady. In fact, she's the only politician I can honestly say I actually like and trust. God Bless and protect her.

What happened with Emily Thornberry’s lawsuit against Caroline? Haven’t heard anything about it for about a year, has she dropped it?

I think we should crowd fund Caroline Flint to fight Emily Thornberry

She has common sense, so she was no good good to the Labour party.

As I watched this interview, with all the sense Caroline Flint made; Labour could do worse than make her the next leader. Seems like a strong, no nonsense kind of woman who seems to have respect for her constituents. A rare thing in this day and age

Wow! She threw them all under the bus! Good for her!

Thornberry and Flint, the wrong one was ousted.

The perfect example of how a movement went for helping the common working class to hurting them it’s exactly why I am no longer a democrat in USA , they did the same thing

4:20 - they have Canterbury because the non tax paying students skew the results.

Best, most accurate thing someone from Labour has said for two years.

The best news was Chuka Umnummmnaaa and Jo Swinson losing their seats.

Task 1 for the Labour Party: accept we are leaving the EU. Task 2: help make it work.

I like her. Even though she’s labour. But tells the truth 👍

Three and a half years ago Great Britain voters told their Parliament, "Get us out of the EU". Labor MPs and the PM ignored that and instead called for a second referendum. I'm surprised Labor didn't lose MORE seats.

Voted Conservative because Brexit Party didn't stand in my constituency but I have to say this woman seems very level headed and If the Labour Party was full of politicians such as herself, It might stand a chance of gaining some credibility back. Strangely they seem intent on digging themselves into a deeper hole and doubling down on all of the ideologies which got them battered in this election.

Feel sorry for her, Caroline was the only decent MP in the Labour Party!

Four months later and we STILL do not know whether the case went to court or if it has been quietly forgotten. Pity the MSM cannot do an update

Caroline Flint is a respectful and thoughtful politician. Sad to see her go.

I agree with the other comments, I can’t stand thornberry

Caroline Flint a lady of principles sad she lost her seat

Kier Starmer's rating is below that of Jeremy Corbyn - too much infighting has destroyed Labour

Flint comes across as being very two-faced, she was also snide about Gordon Brown while he was leader.

sounds like something Emily would say... i believe her

It's called democracy. Politicians should listen to the public and not just ignore them.

They treat the voters with contempt.

A lefty that looks at reality? That’s what I call a breaking news!

It’s simple: the promise of “free stuff” for all with “government” in control of the people’s resources and behaviour is not s vision free people will ever buy in to.

Caroline Flint departure is a loss to parliament and her constituents. I genuinely rated her and I'm a Tory.

Caroline Flint is one the few Labour MP'S to believe in damocracy unlike the sneering Thornberry. So i know who i believe.

Caroline is such a decent lady. God Bless Her.

Thornberry another reason they lost. she is one horrible person.

The British “deplorables” spoke! The political elites across the world are seeing their control of the vulgar masses slipping.

There are a lot of Labour MPs who have openly shown contempt for their constituents. They are elected to represent not resent.

If she was still in Parliament she would be 1 of my preferred options for Leader. Also, I've no issue whatsoever in believing Thornberry said this or something very similar.

Funny how they've suddenly got the balls to state their truth AFTER they've been sacked.

Corbin without a bearded 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Caroline Flint is a brilliant, patriotic Woman she should be the next leader 👍❤️

"Guilty of believing their own propaganda "

If Labour were more like this lady I would have voted for them.

One of the best Labour MP’s in the last parliament. The irony is that the ones who have left or been voted out would be the ones best suited to become leader and bring the party back to earth. As a party member, who voted leave, I will not vote for Starmer, Thornberry or any other patronising and anti-brexit candidates.

Emily Thornberry to another Labour MP : "I'm glad my constituents are not as stupid as yours".

Corbyn 'won the battle on equality' - phew, I'm really relieved about that.

They still don't get it!.....They ignored the will of the people!..... Then, the people ignored them. That is why they lost!

If only the leadership were able to reflect like she is

"The U.S parallels are evident and hilarious with it. "

honestly listening to her, this former labour mp should be the party leader

Caroline Flint, one of few ex-Labour MP's who was honest enough to admit as to why Labour failed so miserably (again!). When the rest of the Labour rabble start to understand why they can't win General Elections anymore, then maybe, just maybe they will admit to their failings and one day become a party fit for office. Right now Labour are not fit to be the opposition !
