Outspoken Brexiter got taste of own medicine

She was busy blaming Brexit failings on remainers.

Isabel Oakeshott appeared again on TV to get her opinion on Brexit, woke agenda etc etc.

Today she popped up on BBC Politics live.

Before we get to that she seemed to blame Brexit failings on the Labour Party…

Remainers

However, it was former home secretary Jacqui Smith, who had quite the stark response to Talk TV’s Oakeshott.

She was picking on remainers for ‘systematically attempting to block Brexit ever happening as a result of which it had taken a lot longer than it would have done’.

Smith couldn’t help herself though, was it harsh or fair?

Smith apologised later, would you?

Jacqui Smith: "Oh, Isobel, shut up."

Oakeshott took great offence at the lack of civility (which apparently does not include not interrupting and talking over everyone).

At the end of the programme, Smith apologised for "setting a bad example". ~AA pic.twitter.com/Nz2UEV02EC

Isabel Oakeshott playing the innocent & easily offended card isn’t washing with me

She’s the most venomous pit bull in the yard, Jacqui Smith telling her to shut up gave her a taste of her own medicine for once, then she snowflaked…pic.twitter.com/P24jE1qCNI
