Actually, have remembered the PM's quip now - it was after the Mid Beds byelection and he commented that at least the new Labour MP would actually be more supportive of him than their predecessor for that seat had been. Even lots of the opposition benches found it genuinely funny.

You're assuming that she hasn't at least been semi-authorised.
I said a few days go when this all blew up, I can see her getting the whip back as a quid pro quo for her retiring at the coming election.
(which would be the best thing anyway, given Abbott's well known health issues)
