Umunna: Thornberry must withdraw Taliban remarks
Responding to the comments made by Emily Thornberry comparing the Liberal Democrats to the Taliban, Liberal Democrat Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Chuka Umunna said:
Emily Thornberry should withdraw her inappropriate remarks. Language counts – comparing the Liberal Democrats to a murderous organisation is no laughing matter.
It is also grossly insulting to the 6 million people who signed the revoke Article 50 petition launched earlier this year, including many of the Shadow Cabinet’s constituents.
The Liberal Democrats are clear that every vote for us is a vote to stop Brexit.

As we become more credible as a potential government, we must expect the other Parties to attack us. How we respond will help to define us as a Party. We should look at the underlying reasons and allow them to drown in their own words.
