A senior Labour MP has today stormed out of the BBC Scotlandshire headquarters when tough questioning deviated off the pre-arranged topic.

Chuka Umunna reacted angrily to questions posed by a BBC Scotlandshire News24 intern only moments before he was set to appear live on the rolling news channel.

This is the second such incident in as many days where Mr Umunna has become a huffy little sissy when visiting TV studios.

Chuka Umunna has been touted by many political commentators as a future Labour Prime Minister.

On Monday, the Labour Shadow Business Secretary and the Member of Parliament for Streatham since 2010 showed a clean pair of heels and made a politically incorrect hand gesture to the highly regarded and totally professional Dermot Murnghan while being interviewed on Sky News.

A world leading body language expert has analysed the footage from this incident and unearthed damning evidence of politically incorrect behaviour by the rising star of London Labour.

Prof Percy Bearback of the London Grand Business Trust concluded: “There may be some who will be fooled into believing Mr Umunna’s hand gesture at the end of the interview was simply dismissive of the presenter’s comments, but this is far from the true meaning. Mr Umunna used this demeaning limp-wristed gesture as a way of calling the Sky frontman a homosexual.”

Earlier today, Mr Umunna was welcomed upon arrival at the Atlantic Quay headquarters of BBC Scotlandshire by one of our unpaid interns [Ed: We’re still hiring!]. As is customary, Mr Umunna was offered a wee cup of tea or coffee.

Our intern was stunned by his response. The Labour MP seemed confused and unsure about the choice of beverage on offer.

One onlooker commented: “He pure went aff on wan! He said he couldnae possibly respond to whether tea or coffee was the appropriate response when he hadnae had a chance to read the label attached to the jar or box that the drink had come in.

“He went on to point out that without first reading up on the drinks, he wouldnae be in a position to decide on how many sugars or whether a slice ay lemon or milk was the best condiment.

“He spent about 10 minutes waffling on about Fairtrade, Asia vs South American sourcing, etc.”

“The big man even accused the poor wee intern of playing dirty by asking unapproved questions when it had been clearly agreed that he was there to discuss Scottish Labour now being an independent party free of London Rule. He pure scowled that he wasnae there to make decisions on the most appropriate drink for a Labour Party politician or indeed any politician.

“I’ve seen politicians wriggle and squirm under heavy questioning but never have I seen someone manage to obfuscate such a simple hospitality choice into an issue more complex than the renewal of Trident.”

Mr Umunna made another limp wristed gesture before storming off back to London when the intern commented: “Maybe next time you’ll have read the party line.”

BBC Scotlandshire contacted Mr Umunna’s newly appointed Director of Communications seeking an apology - a Mr Ali G commented: “Is it cause Chuka is black?”

The far too available and ever saintly Jim Morphy was at the scene within minutes to save the day.

The newly elected Labour Leader in Scotlandshire responded: “Look this isn’t about tea or coffee. It’s about Chuka not being offered a beverage befitting of an Imperial Magister visiting Scotlandshire. Scottish Labour will change the way hospitality is delivered in Scotlandshire.

“Everyone knows it is the Scottish Government’s cuts and their obsession with splitting us into YES and NO camps that has led to a frontline beverage shortage. This incident simply wouldn’t have happened if Nicola Sturgeon and her SNP entourage hadn’t chugged down the limited supply of Irn Bru available in the Green Room before Chukka’s arrival. Scottish Labour will change how much ginger a splittist is legally allowed to consume. Let's face it, most of the natz are already ginger enough.

“I can announce today, in an act which reaches across the YES – NO political divide, that I have asked Crawford Beveridge to investigate the formulation of Irn Bru, with a view to turning it into a proper Scottish drink with an overpowering United Kingdom aftertaste. Scottish Labour will change Irn Bru into a better fizzy pop.

“Further, I promise to deliver 1,000 more bottles of the reformulated Irn Bru than any commitment made by the SNP. BBC Scotlandshire studios will be awash with your other reformulated national drink once the Scottish people have been 'convinced' to change their First Minister to me.”

An SNP spokes-splittist commented: "Jim Murphy's strategy to weaponise Irn Bru will ultimately fail to win support amongst right-minded voters, and will be laughed at by the left-minded ones."

According to a press release issued by former Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Beveridge Report will be delayed until after the general election .
