Emily Anne Thornberry, nicknamed Lady Smug, a native of Surrey, England, is a far-left elitist notorious for her hatred of white working-class voters. A Member of Parliament for the Labour Party, she has represented the Islington South and Finsbury constituency in London since 2005, which she won for Labour by the lowest margin since 1983. Thornberry is also a failed Labour leadership candidate.

Growing up in a privileged family, Thornberry, who failed at school, hypocritically claims to hold 'socialist' principles whilst living in a £3 million London home. She is best known for swearing at political opposition and calling voters in pro-Brexit areas "stupid".

History

Early life

Emily Thornberry was born on 27 July 1960 in Guildford, Surrey to a privileged middle-class family. Her father was Cedric Thornberry, at that time a law lecturer at the London School of Economics. He would later fail in the 1965 general election as the Labour candidate for Guildford, coming 18 points behind his Conservative rival David Howell, and in 1978, he would become an Assistant Secretary-General for the United Nations, an unelected liberal globalist cabal.

In her early youth, Thornberry showed a distinct lack of academic success as she failed her eleven-plus examination and was therefore forced to attend a modern secondary school.

Political career

At the 2005 UK general election, held on 5 May that year, Emily Thornberry was elected to represent the London constituency of Islington South and Finsbury. With a minority victory of 39.9%, she held the seat for Labour by a significantly reduced margin over her predecessor, Chris Smith.

One of Thornberry's biggest displays of her contempt for ordinary British voters came on 20 November 2014. As polls closed for the 2014 Rochester and Strood by-election, she had come under fire after tweeting a photograph of a modest house in the constituency with three flags of St. George on display and the owner's white van parked outside on the driveway, under the caption "Image from #Rochester", for which she was accused of classism and snobbery.

Thorberry made a poor excuse for the Labour Party's rampant antisemitism problem on 30 December 2018 by claiming that party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who 85% of British Jews believe to be an anti-semite, was so "upset" by the issue that he was unable to act on it.

On 16 December 2019, former Labour colleague Caroline Flint alleged that Emily Thornberry, who represents a Remain-voting constituency, had told Flint, the MP for the pro-Brexit Don Valley constituency, that her constituents were "stupid".

Thornberry announced her candidacy for the 2020 Labour leadership election on 18 December 2019.

It was reported on 14 February 2020 that the unpopular Emily Thornberry had failed to reach the minimum number of nominations from local parties, and was thus knocked-out of the Labour leadership contest.

Thornberry displayed awkward behavior and was squirming when questioned on 14 January 2022 about a £600,000 donation to her party from a suspected Chinese Communist Party spy.

Thornberry verbally abused a Conservative MP due to his beliefs about the about Roe v. Wade, as reported on 7 July 2022 by magazine Lancashire Live. When Scott Benton, the MP for Blackpool (a working-class constituency in Lancashire), who has celebrated the overturning of the outdated Roe v. Wade, which legalised abortion on-demand in the USA, Thornberry shouted "you are a disgrace!".
