I find it enlightening that many people who are happy to support men of the people such as Johnson and Rees Mogg, seek to belittle Emily Thornberry for being a supposed aristocrat.
Her husband is a High Court judge. His knighthood comes with the job. It is mean to add to the status of the judiciary. No High Court judge refuses the honour. It is part of the position.
Calling Emily Thornberry, Lady Nugee is crass sexism. She is a woman on her own right as a barrister and as a politician.
She is far from aloof or elitist. She is wonderfully down to earth. She has a great sense of humour and really cares. Her constituency is one of the most deprived in the country. Behind the Georgian townhouses of Barnsbury and Canonbury are huge estates in which the majority of Islington’s people live. She is known as an exceptional local MP and the warmth that people feel for her is evident when door knocking.
She is quick witted and articulate. She would be great to see against Johnson at PMQs.
