It’s amazing how clearly they speak when they are no longer an MP
Totally. Nailed it.
Officials always do this once they have reired, eg. senior police officers, judges etc.
To be fair to her, she said all this in the house. Dampened down a bit maybe, but her meaning was clear enough.
Never a truer word said my friend
@Robert Vaughn Agreed. I've never voted labour, but I would seriously consider it in future if Boris doesn't help out more with the poor etc and this lady was a possible prime minister. She is the voice of reason.
Emily Thornberry has that permanent look of distaste on her face.
There are many medicinal cremes out there for bags.

the Lady Nugee is most discombobulated by the peasants of Don Valley. "Why are they so awful?" she cried, clutching a perfumed nosegay to her flabby face. "We must make them go away!" she stamps a fat foot.
Same thing happened here in Australia when the Labor Party lost,treated the voters with contempt.
They're still gunning for the P.M., some of them here - but as if they know that they don't have really meaningful support.

Lady nugee..fatty thornberry..looks like she has the permanent stench of the working classes under her entitled nose...disgusting women.
A shame she has lost her seat when Diane Abbott keeps hers.
When will labour learn?
Never, that's when
Jayne Robson There is no more.
Shes the wrong colour that's why.
Caroline Flint has more integrity in her little finger than Diane Abbott. Plus, she hasn't got the issue of keeping count of figures that Diane has.
Abbott represents Hackney which has been full of blacks since the 70's
Corbyn was bad but Emily Thornberry did her bit for the Tory victory and so did Hillary Benn.
Fiona Onasanya for being arrested for lying to the police wasn't good either.
And they are still adamant even after we have left, its insanity. They will have to have a brexiteer as leader or they are simply doomed....
North London Marxists versus the working class..
Jackanory.
Yes I agree. Brilliant
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.
Couldn't have put it better myself! I don't know who Thornberry thinks she's fooling. 😒
Thornberry has contempt for people supporting England at football; when the very wealthy are at Cowes week for the Sailing competitions I hope she attends, and tells them not to support the English competitors. Then she can go to the Gatcombe Park horse jumping, and tell those posh lot not to support the English competitors. Another one for these posh twits, is it racist to support the England women's football team?
"white van outside and an England flag hanging outside." ah, a brexiter bigot van driver? They are despicable. I cannot stand bigots and racists. They are getting what they voted for in Brexit, a total disaster, which is precisely what bigots deserve.
Never liked Thornberry, nasty piece of work. I can imagine her saying it.

@@user-kb9xc3jr8v They are true socialists. They despise the working class, they just use them as a tool to gain office.

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

Ghastly woman cost labour a lot of votes
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.
Would it? He seems to get away with quite a lot... Being a corrupt girth of corrupt effluent, taking part in lying to the Queen about the proroguing of parliament, lying about Brexit through his teeth constantly. His debate with James O'Brien a few years ago was quite illuminating - and that is the man who recently said that fish are happy being British fish again... whilst they are impossible for the leave voting fishermen to sell. Schadenfreude. Lots of lovely schadenfreude. Shame the country is fucked though.
yup I agree
Nah! Mogg thinks EVERYONE is stupid!

Ally Bongo Excellent point. Labour chooses to tout the benefits of multiculturalism and mass immigration while our girls are being raped. Labour is the destructor of our culture.
Best analysis I've heard yet. Based on this interview Flint should get the top job, she actually understands her electorate.
Many Labour supporters walked around their local streets & realised that they were foreigners in a strange land...
Talks a lot of sense. Emily Thornberry has denied making that comment of course, but I'm inclined to believe Caroline on that one.
Emily Thornberry was right to make that comment because it’s true.
Remember Thornberry and the white van man comment she looks down her nose at traditional working class voters and shes not the only one Labour is now riddled with people like Thornberry.
@@Aarontlondoncan she really say that when the Labour front bench didn't share a single brain cell between them...?
Just need to find out who she said it to. Shouldn't be to hard
It's a disgraceful remark for a public representative to make, especially someone so prominent in Labour.
At least Jeremy did bring the Country back together...to vote Tory !
One country
Nick absolutely right. He galvanised the conservatives by fear of the Jew hater. Brexit was a by product. These Labour losers conflate their failure to win by not chucking Corbyn out.
Not forgetting the arrogant irrelevant 'celebrities' that called all Brexiteers racist and stupid etc)
Nick LOL!
they were fighting to protect our jobs and workers rights but forget to protect thier own jobs 🤣
Spot on with what was just said working class people are not stupid that is why the conservatives are in power 😁
Swallowed platitudes
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 ****.
It's the sort of thing Thonrburry would say, remember how she ridiculed white van man..Let her sue her
Funny how the public have forgotten that, in normal times an MP would have never come back into politics after that
I’m a Tory,but a shame she lost her seat,she was for leave,good luck to her in the future.
@Nigel 61 A no deal brexit would be a disaster.
@@cahan7033 There is no possible deal that is not going to result in the breakup of the union and leave the nation in a far worse off state than it was before.
'True Brexiteers' voted for disaster and would vote for it again, and would be quite happy to go through with leaving with no deal whatsoever because of an entirely baseless and yet unshakeable belief that leaving the EU would somehow solve all the problems the country has been facing in the past decade or so.
@@oliverhughes610 Points were made.
Credit to her, being honest in analysis.
She is, and oiling the unidirectional movement of one's waste passage is not used to the opposite thrusting of one Jeremy Corbyn style of schlong!! Labor got what they deserved!!
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.
Exactly, it was only defendable to campaign against Brexit once the Leave vote won if the particular constituencies opposed Brexit (i.e. in most of Scotland, I hate the SNP but they were right to fight against Brexit).
“The people” aren’t always right, especially if they’ve been fed lies by the Tory press for decades, and by the Leave campaign.
Already 2 years ago, the public mood was shifting on Brexit, and it has shifted further now, but we should persist and honour a non-binding referendum, whose results would have been invalidated if it was binding, due to irregularities in the leave campaign spend?
Anyway, Brexit is done now, so we can leave that debate assess the performance of the Tories on its own merits… Let’s all catch up on whether it was wise to put them in power….
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
Emily Thornberry always looks bleary eyed as if she is "on something".

How about an England first policy?: A strong England for England!
Looking out for the English, in England!? That's racist.
That's gonna get alot of Scottish seats.
Britain first Policy. A Strong Britain for the British
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!

if it was a con mp they would have been interrupted by the host biased, bbc.sky news and others example John Bercow on election night disgaceful!!
Funny I’ve seen a labour voter say the exact same thing in a comment above.
It's really shocking to see someone in the Labor party with a brain.
Alex Scragg They are the sympathisers with each other, that’s why.
@@noco7243 How much of a brain does she have if she is in the Labour party in the first place ? That is a serious question. Just because this woman openly recognises the blatant madness of Labour in 2019 and its utter irrelevance to the British electorate, does not award her with a moral and intellectual free pass relating to the thirty + years of politically correct wokeness that has badly damaged innumerable communities and the lives of millions of people in the UK. Even the relatively mild left is poison.
Mrs Flint did not blink or look away when she said "Thornberry called constituents Stupid" I think she is telling the truth.
A barrister (not the coffee making kind), married to a judge, with properties in central London. Not exactly at the coal face.
As near as most of them get!
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.
If this woman is the best of Labour it is good that they've lost.
@Scott Walker Well I think constituencies like hers which voted heavily for Brexit have had enough and just wanted to be sure of 'getting Brexit done'. When the tide turns politically a few decent MPs always get caught up in it, while some of the ones who deserve to be voted out are still there.
Alan P I am a Tory but I respect Caroline Flint, Thornbury is a vile creature
She voted for a 2nd EUref.
The best news was Chuka Umnummmnaaa and Jo Swinson losing their seats.
And Anna soubrey!!!!! 😀
Being from America, who are the other 2 people and what were they like?
@Fat Freddy yeah
Chuka is looking for a new Party to join.
@@theheartland1861 Chuka Umunna is a politician who has changed sides three times in the past year. He is an British African who is a total ego maniac. Jo Swinson is/was the leader of the Liberal Democrats and she wanted to stop Brext - no wonder she lost her seat.
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....)
The likes of MP's like Caroline Flint, Frank Field and Kate Hoey will be sorely missed... Credit to them.
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
Yeah, there's no pro-worker party in the US. The Republicans are all about screwing workers and the Democrats merely pay lip service while serving the same corporations that Republicans do. Libertarians are even worse: They want corporations to be able to do anything and take away labor rights. The Greens are arguably the best; their goal is environmentalism instead of the working class, but some environmental policies create green jobs.
All i thought labour was working class who ain't rich who work for a living to live and then sayimg thier stupid is ridiculous
Unfortunately a certain brand of socialist has always had absolute contempt for the working class they claim to represent. They like an ideal of "working class" but recoil in disgust when they meet the real thing.
Political parties do not wish to be associated with the working class any more, feeling that it is demeaning, which leaves a huge vacuum because working people are disenfranchised.
@@jamiewulfyr4607 Your so right culture shock when they have to leave there bubble.

If Caroline Flint had been the Labour candidate in the recent Hartlepool by-election, I suspect it would still be a Labour seat.
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.
Labour went too far left, which let's be honest, is not the mindset of their working class constituents.
@Scott Walker typical response from an idiot
David Bayliss...I been saying that for some years myself, I don't like and agree with Blair on many issues, BUT I do agree with him on one thing !! he also said himself that Labour have gone too Far Left, which he mentioned in one of his interviews.
It’s not just that it was mainly what Caroline Flint has outlined.
@Hartley Hare Hardworking Polish etc yes, benefit scrounging Romanians etc not so much.
The Labour membership has gone far left (Momentum) but IMHO Labour MPs are mostly Blairite centre right.
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
Her bob is great! I really like her.
Really? 29? Not quite.
Half her age is a bit of stretch. But she looks younger than 58 and well for it.
She's the only decent Labour politician.
9:38 - yeh thats me.
@Darwin Man true, an they still think they only lost by only a few seats.
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.
Thornberry and Flint, the wrong one was ousted.
Yeah flint
Task 1 for the Labour Party: accept we are leaving the EU.
Task 2: help make it work.
task 1 accept the ship is sinking.
Task 2 Help the ship sink faster.
Whaat?
dicerevo and do one
yes we will be leaving the EU sort of it will be such a soft brexit we will still be tied to the Eu in many ways so it will still have a say in the running of the uk
Caroline Flint has a lot of good sense. Pity those around her had very little
Dianne Abbott to lead and find a shadow minister named Costello and they have the perfect set-up. 😂
Thornberry has form on sneering at the working class, so I am inclined to believe Caroline.
Get Emily Thornberry as leader of the opposition! That way Labour will get less than 100 seats next time.
Even Momentum couldn’t be that stupid, though I have my doubts.
I would like to see Diane Abbot as Labour leader! What could possibly go wrong for Labour with the Abbotopotamus as leader?
We are on the same wavelength 🇬🇧👍🏻
Thornberry as leader with Diane Abbot shadow chancellor - dream team right there.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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?
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..
Arthur Arthur / Yes, it's a big shame that she is one of the ones to lose their seats when the MPs (London MPs) who covertly blocked Brexit from day 1 continue to hold theirs and won't be held responsible for this result.
Steven Fearn / If the Labour Party won which they were never going to do she probably wouldn't, but if your saying that she would of stayed silent in the event of another failed election I respectfully disagree. Then again there were Labour MPs who resigned or stood as independents during the election like Ian Austin, Frank Field, Kate Hoey etc. (I voted Tory in 2017 and 2019 btw)
who is perfect?
@Steven Fearn completely irrelevant. of course not, duh. if she would have won, it would have meant Labour was on the right path. it would have meant JC wasn't the leader.
This interview has effectively ended Emily Thornberry's chances of becoming the next leader.

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
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.

Since 2016 Flint has consistently argued that Labour should respect the referendum result and she predicted the electoral consequences if the Party didn't. All that's new is the claim concerning Thornberry.
Flint didn't really have anywhere to go. The Labour leadership over the last few years has ostracised anyone (MP or otherwise) who hasn't bought in to the Marxist message at the top. It's ironic- Corbyn virtue signals like a broken record, always banging on about social justice and inclusiveness...but he didn't allow any other voices in the Labour party to be heard; the epitome of intolerance.

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.
I agree I used to be labour but when lammy said we won’t respect the vote, my blood chilled,.
Finally someone exposing the London elites
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
Flint is a big loss to the labor party. The labour party did not learn from the election.
Caroline Flint wouldn't have said that about Thornberry if wasn't true
we all know it's true ...
Thornbury is an arrogant and unlikeable individual. Repellent even.
Alex Griffin..... C F said that E T said this to another Colleague, so how could she know it is true? She is relying on here say , would not surprise me ! But she can only truly know it was true if she was told by E T herself.
Upper class woman looking down on the working class shocking I'm so suprised go listen to boris speech the cheers are loud then he says we are the servants now and they get alot quieter I've spoken to an mp behind closed doors not gunna say a name but his biggest concern was securing the mp pension didn't know it was a thing myself like do they really get to retire at 50 and I have to work till 66 seems a bit unfair
Caroline Flint a lady of principles sad she lost her seat
andrew ganley and Dennis Skinner
Unless Ur a Tory ... In which case Ur really quite glad that one of the few remaining adults in the labour party has dropped out !
@@Broatch6 Even then it's unbecoming to gloat when people who have their job well get and sacked through no fault of their own, other than their leader is incompetent.
Tories will be sad she always votes with them
So sad about Dennis Skinner.
I like her. Even though she’s labour. But tells the truth 👍
Caroline is such a decent lady. God Bless Her.
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.
That's right, we just need free stuff for a small handful of privileged banks and control of people's behaviour enforced by black-geared thugs equipped from Macron's army supply store. That'll do it.
@@interqward1 without the banks and businesses how successful was the USSR?
If everything corbyn promised happend. We would just catch up to france and germany.
@@interqward1
Nothing is free.
Have free education then workers pay extra in taxes etc.
Have more and more refugees coming in, then taxes and stuff go up, and less gets handed out
Yeah! We want everything to have a minimum 100% mark up, because someone can afford it although not most of us, and powerful corporations, answerable to no one, in charge!
Feel sorry for her, Caroline was the only decent MP in the Labour Party!
The only decent one ?? That’s a bit of a value judgement
honestly listening to her, this former labour mp should be the party leader
I think Labour should have studied the 2015 GE result in Scotland. Labour was canned there not because Scots want independence but because Labour had become the party of privilege, cronyism, entitlement and complacency, and most of all because it was seen as a London party. At least the SNP, despite their manifest incompetence, are not that.
Note, not an English party, a London one. The Scottish media had been full, for years of stories about how Scottish Labour, nationally a separate party, was being run by the London elite. People complained that the best and the brightest in the party were siphoned off to London. That Scottish concerns were shoved into a drawer and forgotten about. That word, London, was repeated in story after story and finally, Labour ran out of goodwill. Well that is EXACTLY what happened in the 'red wall'. Labour didn't learn a single thing from its Scottish defenestration. Not a damn thing and the voters, sick to the back teeth of their votes being assumed while they were not listened to, gave them their marching orders.
If Labour think they can elect a new leader then go back to the same old same old, I think they will be punished again and again. And yet, look what they're doing. This really is turkeys voting for Christmas.
Unless Labour can genuinely reconnect with the provincial voters, it will flounder. In a way Blair's cunning plan, to maximise immigration and so bolster the Labour vote, has completely backfired because of the concentration of those immigrants in London. This has just contributed to the idea that they are getting special treatment while the traditional working areas are simply to be ballot-box fodder, playing second fiddle to a metropolis that everyone who does not live there hates and a metropolitan elite they hate even more. And I do not see even ONE senior Labour member who begins to realise the enormity of the disaster or the scale of the mountain they'll have to climb.
Boris Johnson has reinvented one nation conservatism in the shape of a tousle-headed likely lad, fizzing with vim and vigour and British to the core. His personal appeal is huge. Labour don't have a beast that even comes close.
