Let's not get into 'this is what the Tories' are like but she is reasonable for her owns words. This is a reflection on her and the Tories' quick suspension shows they don't have time for it.

Ok but people can't complain about Labour not being strong enough on the anti-Semitism in their party if they don't support the Tories doing the same. This whataboutary can go on forever because next time Ken Livingstone goes on a Hitler rampage his defenders could point to this and around and around we go.

Quite. It was a stupid and unpleasant thing to say and she's been immediately punished for it. It's not quite in the same league as the sort of hate filled speech and actions the usual Labour suspects come out with however and therein lies the difference, especially since Labour are the ones whose campaign strategy has long relied upon portraying others as 'nasty'.
