Just seen that on a different thread, was he not aware of the whole facts?

He apologised later.

Still, TCL would give him hell for not waiting for the facts.

Clearly not, or maybe he was just stupid.

[Mamyalynne]

Can't comment I don't know him, anyone should be bright enough to simply say 'It's too soon for me to comment' but seemingly the rush is on and the competitiveness is palpably in the air.

Unpleasant.

Jezza will be going to the funeral I imagine.

Funerals, I imagine there will be lots of bits to bury.

Perhaps the Labour party will lay on a mini bus.

From the OP link.

// “This is obviously embarrassing I misread the news ticker in an interview and thought a member of the public had now died. My deepest apologies for this mistake." //

He thought a member of the public had died.
A non story.

Was the bomber not a member of the public then?

I wonder if Jon Ashworth would like to send his condolences for the victims of his party's invasion of Iraq? Or his condolences to Keir Starmer at having to sit next to Gob-on-a-stick once a week? Perhaps he'd like to send his condolences to Diane Abbott's maths teacher? He seems to have plenty of condolences and apologies to go round.

[Hopkirk]

I agree with Gromit - a non story.

[jno]

so it's not the story some people were hoping it would be. Bad luck for those who hoped to make party political capital out of a terror incident. (And the moral: read your own links.)

In fairness the entire article is worded - in typical tabloid style - to engender a false impression. Most people don’t have the attention span to stick with it to the end. By which time the froth from their mouths is probably obscuring their vision anyway.
It’s also a lesson though to any of us to be careful who we blame or who we feel sorry for before the full facts are known. Mr Ashworth is just another victim of the ease and speed with which we can all comment and share our opinions and thoughts at the drop of a hat via Twitter or wherever
