TBF, although Margaret Hodge does have form in the past on a number of less-than-wonderful topics, she has been fairly open about admitting she didn't move anything like fast enough on the child grooming thing.
However as chair of the Public Accounts Committee she was pretty good at exposing the tax manipulations of Amazon, Google, Starbucks, et al. Her book 'Called to Account' is a fascinating retelling of those events.
I was pretty unimpressed however when she went off on one to JC about anti-Semitism, and then went on to add further fuel to the fire. She's not a Corbynite, so it's hard to see her actions as entirely disinterested.
I was a bit of a fan after the Amazon tax exposure; now I'm not. Does the Labour right even want to topple the Tory Government? Most of the time it's hard to tell.
Not during the current Labour civil war, no. If anything, Hodges is a high positioned centerist, one of the last ones left from the Blair years. Those people generally hate Corbyn for destroying their legacy of whatever it is that Tony Blair did.
