Perhaps she will suddenly become an amazing songwriter and musician.

Such a shame she wasn’t run over by an hgv

Will this be blamed on the 'far right'? 😕

Why is this deemed newsworthy? She is a nobody and NO ONE CARES! Hope the bike is ok.

Doctors said she had a little 'Boneshaker'. This was later confirmed by Fiona Bruce & Co. BBC_ARoadshow

Was it really a 🚲?

My heart pumps purple pi** for her. A long as she didn't land on her dace and damage the road I don't care.

Hope you are not badly hurt, get well soon - politics is missing a leading light in welfare for all, justice that is swift and a calm caring voice of reason in the current chaos. Please help save the UK from morphing into 'mini America' and cash gets political power.

Did a stabiliser wheel fall off

Bikes aint wot they used to be

Pray for the bike

Was it an obescycle that she fell from?

Emily Thornberry is far from my favourite MP as I find her smugness intolerable but come on, how can you joke and glory in someone bring hurt and hospitalized? Twitter is evolving backwards into sludge.

White van?

Didn’t know they made bikes that wide

God bless her

She has the physique of a cyclist 🙄

Was she riding a bike?

Well, until the media has gone that is.

There are cycles that take that weight?

Lets hope she is bed ridden until at least after brexit has gone through..

The white van man she took the mick out of getting revenge

Will she stay in?

I hope they remembered to take her to a private hospital after A&E. Her ladyship won't want to share a ward with the working women who vote for her party

Oh dear never mind 🙄

Good

What goes around comes around

Thought she was discharged. Is she back in hospital?

Will she get the same treatment everyone else gets or priority ? leave Brexit leaveEU horribleMP treatherlikeshit

Might knock some sense in her thick skull

Probably like a lot of other people involved in accidents today....how is this news ? did it involve white van man...

That poor bicycle.

Jezza at the wheel. Labourleadershipcontenders

Surely it was a motorbike. No way she could use anything without an engine.

Hope the bikes OK.

But she was put there doing it by God!

Lol

Hope she’s well.

Good news

Somebody probably tried to park their bike when she was bending over!

I feel safer already. Can she possibly stay there.

Was it a white van !!!!

Told her not to use the Boris bike!

Is she OK, or have I spoke too soon? I for one thing won't Raleigh round her and seriously hope she's saddled with lots of scrapes and bruises. Peddle what crap you like, I hate her and I'm tired of her recycled bullsh*t.

Please encourage The Abacus to take up cycling.

Poor Vehicle 😞

Did she choke on it?

hope she's OK.

Does anyone else get a bit of sick in their throat reading Thornbury and Discharge in the same sentence

Lady Nugee unbiked by patriot in van & hospitalised. Nugee copies her hero Lord Yaxley-Lennon using reverse snobbery & calls herself Emily. Tragically she was released from hospital uninjured.

OMG!!! is the bike ok?

Couldn't happen to a nicer person

Skimming through the replies to this is pretty sickening. The UK has always had cunts in it, but Twitter brings them into your home. Glad to see that Emily is OK

Not paying attention to other public rights, she comes crashing down

No comment from Corbyn!

Jeremy Vine cut her up.

I see all the saddo's are out in force the sad git's.

miketomalaris :(

Whose fault?

Were you wearing a helmet? Even empty headed politicians should wear a helmet. Was it your fault, got, insurance? Sober or a sherry or two at lunch? Did you ignore a red light? Is the insured driver okay?

She ended up sitting on a fence!

Here come the gammons ⏰

Shame

Lovely comments on here. No one is perfect, and sometimes people make choices that other people don't like but come on, the nastiness on this post is worrying.

Taxi driver livelihood ruined

Hope she's on metal bed

Dont abnormal wide loads usually require escorts when travaling on public roads to prevent this sort of thing

I said make it look like an accident 007

Sure it wasn’t a blimp accident...😯

We knew her political opinion were no sensible but now we know her actions are also non sensible!

And the section of road where she fell off has been closed for the forseeable future

Good lord did it get stuck when she sat on it?

Wish her well

Little scratch and she demands to go to hospital because she’s entitled

First... Hope she is OK. Second... Has Hezbollah been informed of this latest development? 👍

A big dent to her confidence. And probably a big dent to the taxi.

I hope the bicycles ok?

After she stopped bouncing

Her title is Lady Nugee as you well know. Why do you conceal this hypocrites elitist credentials?

Was wondering if she fell off that fence Labour have been sitting on and injured herself.

I’m trying my best to be sympathetic but it’s really really hard. 🥴

Did her humongous body hit a white van?

Did Jeremy survive ?

Typical taking the wrong direction & not having forward looking vision. Or maybe her airbrake opened up when she went to talk to someone...... Tragic 🙄

BBCWorld My thoughts & prayers for the bicycle. Hope it gets through this tough time!

Am completely opposed to EmilyThornberry politically but the comments on this thread are instructive. How dare a larger woman take steps to improve her health through exercise? I get it every time I'm out jogging - sarcastic claps and vile comments from imbeciles - all male.

Was it a white van?

It will be good for the country if the obnoxious woman doesn't leave the hospital

The lorry is a write-off

After shocks were felt as far north as Peterborough, in other news Taxi driving unions are after better working conditions, due to a sharp rise in accidents with big ol busses ......

Hope the bike is ok

God! If I went to hospital every time I fell off my bike I’d move in! Wasting hospital time! I bet she went in an ambulance as well!!! Time wasting publicity stunt!

Good luck Emily!

Went to a&e for a couple of hours ? BBC headlines at its best

hope the bike is ok

Hope she is ok.

more labour anti-cyclism

Nothing trivial we hope.

In spite of escort for a wide load these things sometimes happen

Hope she wasn't wearing lycra

The vision...... Hit a pot hole did she? Chased by some local enrichment with a knife? Had her high heels on?

Did she land on the bike and if so, is it ok? 😟😟

Twenty stone crashing into a Taxi will do a lot of damage, I do hope the poor Taxi driver is ok.

Did the road need repairing after Lady Nugee's accident?

She should have had those anti - slipitic brakes fitted

Hope you’re feeling better soon

Did Grayling knock off another cyclist?

Someone thought she was a bike rack and parked their front tyre between her fat arse.

poor NHS staff

Someone tried to park one up her big fat backside

Is the bike ok! 🚲

amazed they make one strong enough to support her gargantuan bulk

👌🏽

Any news on the other vehicle involved?

👌
