Untermensch

And I was starting to see the point of her.

If she had said that outside parliamentary privilege, then Piers Morgan (one of very few journalists to come out well from the run-up to the Iraq War) would have sued her, he would have won, and that would have been entirely just.

It looks as if I was right about her all along: "Listening to either of them [her and Liz Truss] is not at all like listening to women in their thirties. It is like listening to a certain type of tiresome fresher girl who, mostly because Daddy has furnished her with an income comparable to a professional salary, thinks that she is that age and expects to be treated accordingly. Are all the new Conservative women like that?"

It seems to be taken as read that Truss is still a Lib Dem (and an anti-monarchist). Might I also have been right all along that Louise Mensch has never ceased to be a member of the Labour Party, and thus, both of a party within that party, and of a party within the one under whose colours she has secured a seat in Parliament?

    Mr L, people change. By this kind of reasoning you are still an anglican.

    It is also hypocritical of someone with your mix of political extremes to cast aspersions on other people in this way.

    Do you like women?

  2. There can be no doubt that I am no longer an Anglican, in the way that there can be no doubt that Peter Hitchens is no longer a Trotskyist.

    Whereas, even if she has left the Labour Party, how exactly has Mensch "changed"? On the contrary, she has merely found, for the time being, an electorally better-placed vehicle for exactly the same political position.
