as an aside can we call her out for "...cultural appropriation..."? I mean if it's that for white kids to have cornrows surely her hair shouldn't be straight?

It's not her hair though.

Oh yes it is she paid for it or probably we did on expenses

... her constituency supporters .. Do they like to support someone who keeps trying but always fails

There are 5 reasons why they vote for her :
1) the colour of the rosette is red
2) more importantly, the colour of the rosette is not blue
3) people like to have a high profile MP

there's something strange with her - she was clever enough to get into Cambridge and yet, and yet...

4) The Tories put up a privately educated white lady to stand against her.

Much easier to take votes from Labour in a constituency with a high ethnic population with a working class and/or ethnic candidate (unless you are Galloway).

And so they vote for someone who privately educated her son because black mothers will do more for their kids than white mothers.
