This sassy thumbnail version of Emily Thornberry’s response to the Labour split is hilarious
With her stinging comebacks and meme-worthy “smug face”, shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry has been described as the “queen of sass”.
A clip of her owning David Dimbleby on election night went viral after she questioned why he hadn’t asked the Tories whether they were heading for a “coalition of chaos”.
