Context is everything. What she says and thinks in private is fair game, or at a push you'd expect it in a left wing publication. To do it at a party conference or in the house of commons is just unprofessional.
There's things I would say to my mates or on NSC that I wouldn't dream of saying in front of a load of people at work.
You’re right, she couldn’t say it in the House of Commons, but at the conference she has the right to say what she thinks. Judge her as you wish but it’s not the worse thing I’ve heard from an MP.
