In the wake of the tragic and senseless murder of Tory MP David Amess, Leadbeater, sister of the Saint Jo of Cox, has come out to say her partner has asked her to step down as an MP so that she doesn’t end up the same way.
Now, I’m not cunting the sentiment behind this – we all know what happened to Jo Cox and David Amess by now and whatever else you might think about MPs in general, in any sane and functioning democracy they have the right to go about their constituencies without fear. But what I am cunting is the timing and motivation about this announcement.
FFS, Amess isn’t even cold yet, and Leadbeater is trying to make this all about her and her sister. We all know that the newly installed MP isn’t seriously going to step down and risk a Labour seat, especially after the by-election was so closely fought. This is all about Leadbeater and Labour milking the Cox murder for every drop they can get. And the BBC are equally to blame as they make this one of the headline stories on their site.
