We're in danger of comparing bananas with elephants.
Ms Webbe, who was a back bench opposition MP, stands convicted of a criminal offence. For whatever reason she seems to have an issue with a woman having a close friendship with her 'fellow'. As I've already pointed out she may have been selected at haste. Nobody on the Labour side has sought to excuse or minimise her behaviour which is purely witihn the triangle of herself, her chap and woman #2.
That's a very different thing from tribulations in government where the party in power tries to get an MP found to be contravening long standing principles off the hook and that such action is part of a pattern.
Arguably the fact you titled this thread Labour's turn for the gutter.... suggests you're letting your undies show...
