An MP questioned someone’s expertise and was owned into next week

Early days we know but leading contender for comeback of the week is surely this.

It began when Labour MP Chris Bryant shared his thoughts on what is going on in Peru right now.

And it caught the eye of Alan MacLeod who had this to say in response and it’s fair to say it rather escalated from there.

Mega oof.

well Mr Bryant walked right into a sucker punch there. I don’t think you’ll be hearing from him

To be fair to the Rhondda MP he didn’t leave it there (nor did he delete it).

And you think Marxism has delivered benefits in Latin America? I would never vote for Fujimori obviously but I fear that Marxism has repeatedly failed the people of Latin America and I’m not keen on homophobic politicians or those who praise Sendero Luminoso.

But it was already game over.

Keep digging, Chris. You may find another seam of coal beneath the Rhondda if you do.

Just in case you were wondering about the MP’s own experience …

And I worked in a pueblo joven in Comas in Lima and for a human rights organisation in Buenos Aires where my friends were tortured and was thrown out of Chile by Pinochet.

Last word to Alan MacLeod (and if you fancied some further reading).

My academic work focussed more on Colombia and particularly Venezuela. Much of it was about how politicians in the UK/US demonized the progressive changes going on in order to make sure nothing changes at home.
