Last night the House of Commons voted not to reduce the upper limit for abortions from 24 weeks. I thought it slightly odd to hear Nadine Dorries being interviewed this morning in the Toady programme's prime just after the 8 o'clock news spot. Then it all started to make sense, the interview was angled to get the "admission" from Nadine Dorries that Labour MPs were generally more in favour of the right to an abortion than the Conservatives. One of the last points made was that if the Conservatives won the next election then restrictions on abortion would be more possible.
Very nicely done BBC, a bit of "dog-whistle" politics on behalf of the Labour party disguised as news analysis, your friends in the Labour party will be pleased.
Nadine has set herself up for a bit of a fall, so I'm sure Labour / BBC were happy to stick the political knife in.
