A woman stabbed Labour MP Stephen Timms twice at a constituency surgery in revenge for his vote for the Iraq war, the Old Bailey has heard.

The Labour MP for East Ham said he thought Roshonara Choudhry wanted to shake hands when she smiled before lunging at him in Newham on 14 May.

Miss Choudhry told police she wanted "to get revenge for the people of Iraq", prosecutors said.

The 21-year-old is accused of attempted murder and having an offensive weapon.

    • Oh great i went to go read this and the BBC has reposted the stupid FCINO ad and the "I'm not a witch" ad.

      Now the whole world is pointing their collective fingers at us because someone let the tea partiers out of the mental hospitals.
