  "textContent": "\n\n\nKemi Badenoch is refusing to apologise for this: \"She taxed private schools to pay for more teachers, but the number of teachers has gone down.\n\n\"It turns out appointing a spiteful class warriors Education Secretary was a disaster.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nGood, well done Kemi. Never apologise to these pearl-clutching hypocrites.\n\nDavid Lammy has said Kemi had attacked Bridget Philipson.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nShall we have a look at some of the things David Lammy has said over the years?\n\nHe called Brexiteer Tory MPs 'worse than Nazis'.\n\nHe said this about Nigel Farage: \"I will leave it for the public to come to their own judgments about someone who once flirted with Hitler Youth when he was younger.\"\n\nJust baseless, and did not apologise.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nBridget Philipson accused Kemi of not liking her because she was born on a council estate - no, it's because you're utterly incompetent. It's not like Labour to be classist though, is it?\n\nAngela Rayner's got form for calling people scum - she apparently did it in the House of Commons.\n\nIn 2010, the then Labour Whip David Wright called Tories 'scum suckling pigs' on social media.\n\nLabour's Minister for Trade and white y-front enthusiast Chris Bryant said Kemi 'just did spite today', saying she should have been magnanimous.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nInteresting - Because Chris Bryant once got into a furious row with the Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle and was accused of telling him to F off - which he denies. But he's hardly a shining beacon of morality.\n\nShabana Mahmood once accused Nigel Farage of being 'worse than racist' while she was at a fringe event at Labour Conference.\n\nKeir Starmer's has a few pops himself, he's called Boris a coward, he's called Nigel Farage spineless.\n\nEven the darling of the left, the Green Party's Hannah Spencer, has had a pop.\n\nSurely calling people dirty and grubby is worse than accusing the worst education secretary of modern times a spiteful class warrior, when all the evidence suggests she is.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe left have been dishing it out for years!\n\nDawn Butler praised Extinction Rebellion when they were blockading newspaper offices - this was when they were at the very height of their civil disobedience and lawbreaking.\n\nThe fact is that the left in Britain think they can be as vile, horrible, nasty and mean as they like because they're 'the good guys'. But when they had a chance at running the country, they ran it into the ground.\n\nI mean, it’s not as if Kemi was wrong to tee off on Labour, was it? They’re useless.\n\nThe left is famous for showing ABSOLUTELY no mercy to anyone they oppose. Well, take your medicine. Kemi is right not to apologise.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
