The leadership candidate was scathing of Jeremy Corbyn’s administration as she set out her stall to replace him.
Writing for the website LabourList, Ms Thornberry said she had internally opposed the party’s uncosted spending commitments during the election campaign, but was overruled.
It's what politicians do of course, but in this case it was particularly blatant. As far as the voters knew Emily was fine with it - with the lying. It's a pity she is so obvious though - as Labour leader Lady Nugee would surely take the party down a few more notches.

That's actually quite a good strategy from Lady N. It was uncosted hyperbole, with no chance of being implemented, just politicians' meaningless hot air.
If they can convince the electorate that the same applies to support for terrorists, unchecked immigration, complete decriminalisation of abortion, abolition of charity status for private education, nationalisation of utilities, etc.,then Labour are back in with a chance.
Sam - put like that you list is a little scary. Merely a matter of convincing the electorate which ought to be an impassable barrier, but millions voted in favour.
