This is what has really made me lose respect for Shami Chakrabarti.

While I didn't always respect her opinions, her work for Liberty as an independent voice against government was important, and one that kept her as a political outsider.

However, to suddenly , after having used that "outsider" status to lend legitimacy to a Labour antisemitism enquiry to:

A: Join the Labour Party

B: Get a peerage in double quick time

and

C: Get a shadow cabinet post

Strikes me as the finest form of selling out, and that's before we get to the rank hypocrisy of saying that selective education is wrong, but still sending her child to a selective (and private at that!) school.
