Asked shortly before on C4 news if she accepted the need for police to have the support of troops on the streets ,replies.....well , it's about Tory cuts to police .
Truly this utter cow should be nowhere near a polical platform
Interviewed in Manchester ,she would have been aware of the visceral evidence of the murders but first thought is to try to score a political point

Diane Abbott is a real impediment to people voting Labour. The others are Jeremy Corbyn and Emily Thornberry. I wonder what would be the position if Labour had a credible top team at this point in time? To that end, the members of his first shadow cabinet who resigned must be kicking themselves now.
We wouldn't be having an election if we'd had a competent opposition. That is the entire pathetic and bankrupt Tory election strategy. And by god they've even f*cked that up.

Abbott has pulled out of Woman's Hour today. Apparently she's ill. Funny that after her car crash last night she's magically ill again.
I do hope she's getting the best possible medical care. The poor woman seems to have persistent problems, like "migraine" to avoid a vote. Thankfully that migraines wasn't enough to stop her going out drinking.
Now, now Bluey. Stop being a cynical right winger...

Genuine question Brynnie - why would you be surprised? He's given her that prestigious role. What makes you think he'd boot her back into the wilderness?
He's going to have enough bricks flying over from the other bench without having her mucking up every five minutes. If he wins he's going to need to look to reengage some of the first shadow cabinet, who, if they're smart will start making noise and attacking May now.
There's no denying though that even if he loses the election he will have massively confounded an awful lot of people. He's done fantastically well so far in spite of 80% of the media constantly attacking him.

As long as she does not get into a position of power, I am more than happy for her to remain in the public eye. Need my entertainment from somewhere, just hopefully not in a role where she has any control above the stationary cabinet.
Now being a labour man I would of course have a bit of sympathy with Jezza, he had a great man in Andy burnham , becoming mayor of Manchester Andy had to leave his role as home sec .
Poorly filled in my opinion, although the number of knives still being thrown around Jezza , I guess he needed a close allie.
Andy Burnham the shameless, unprincipled opportunist and professional Northerner - that Andy Burnham?
Looks likes one of the Thunderbirds too.

I've got to say,he's performed better than I expected. Although his Wenger-Almunia style loyalty to Abbott has well an truly f*cked him over

Which will actually be the worst possible result for the Labour Party and the country if these current Tory c*unts have a semi decent majority.

The first shadow cabinet are sitting back letting Corbyn f*ck things up. Playing the long game.

Apparently Abbott was photographed at Oxford Circus, nearest station to Radio 4 at 8:40am on her phone.
Woman's Hour debate meant to start at 9am.
Guess that "illness" flared up really quickly...
Emily Thornberry stepped in last minute and from the bit I heard it showed.
They were discussing the Wasps pension thing and of course Thornberry was saying that they would reverse what the Tories did...Amber Rudd said that would cost £70bn (I think she said £70bn, might have been £7bn) and Thornberry disputed this...Jane Garvey moved on to another politician, all of a sudden she says; "are you looking for the figures Emily?" (there is the sound of Thornberry rummaging around) Thornberry says; "Yes, I'm just quickly trying to find a note at the bottom of my handbag..." Jane Garvey; "Let's get those figures out quickly Emily..."
...Thornberry then proceeds to read out the note (the Labour policy actually), which contains no figures and is all rhetoric. She finishes; "that's what we've got and that's where we stand"
omni f u c k i n g shambles of a party.
If we vote this crowd in we will deserve everything that is coming to us.

This is what they do for a living, mind. This is their day job. Can you imagine if people in the real world were as ill-prepared and generally clueless going about their tasks, they wouldn't last five minutes, they'd all be up the road.
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

I'm a bit of a chunt and it would give me deep joy to see so many suffer under labour and realise what clowns they ve been to allow this monster of a man into power.
A proven liar , with a coterie of cretinous women at his feet worshipping him
Many will see the truth ....about funding
It's all about Brexit.. Corbyn will be crushed by Junckers and Ange Merkel
But ...seems we want class war
Fook em
I ll follow you as you leave this sad island behind

It takes my breath away. I had a more professional attitude at the age of 17, to be frank.
...and yet people on here are queuing up to say that the likes of Abbot and Thornberry being put forward for great offices of state is just a minor detail, it's all a press witch hunt. My arse.

She and Corbyn votds against all anti terrorist legislation now she tries to blame the torries. Both she and Corbyn supported Terrorists in the past and she dismissed the change in her views as like a new hairstyle. This woman is unfit to be an MP.
