Lucy Powell's Farage 'love child' jibe sparks The Mirror's comments

The Labour Conference clip opened at roughly thirteen times the pace of a typical first day on the newspaper's channel.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 75,880 views a day, 13 times a normal first day on this channel (5,906).

Lucy Powell SLAMS Farage as 'love child of Enoch Powell and Margaret Thatcher' at Labour Conference

Close to fifty thousand views in its first day, and the comment box has been busier than the like button. The Mirror's clip of Lucy Powell taking aim at Nigel Farage has drawn several times more comments than likes, a lopsided balance for any news upload.

A new video here usually opens with a few thousand views before the next story arrives. This one ran far beyond that. On its own it is moving at more than half the pace of the entire channel's daily views. Perhaps a line like this invites argument more than applause?

The jibe pairs two giants of Conservative history, Enoch Powell and Margaret Thatcher, as Farage's imagined parents. The Mirror, a paper that has long sided with Labour, gave it an all-caps SLAMS and put the full quote in the title.
