Based on today's PMQs, we can only assume that, even if not yet an MP at the time, Emily Thornberry was one of the clots who voted for the Iraq War in return for a ban on foxhunting (her predecessor spoke and voted against the invasion).
The Tories think that are onto a winner with foxhunting, and the hunting lobby seems to think that it is onto a winner with the Tories. But there were Commons majorities to ban it in the Major years. And its heartlands are Yorkshire, Wales, the Midlands, Devon and Cornwall, which return few or (in the Cornish case) no Tory MPs, and have now done so for three successive General Elections.
Labour, and especially Brown himself, could nevertheless do without the MP for Islington South & Finsbury going on about it at the only part of weekly parliamentary business to receive any mainstream televisual attention.
