Re: Diane Abbott
Car crash television at its finest.
I have serious doubts about the sanity of anyone on the list of people who thinks Abbott is in any way fit to be a Home Secretary, charged with keeping us safe.
Sadly that list includes Jeremy Corbyn.

Re: Diane Abbott
Can you imagine her in charge of the police and prisons etc.... sat and listened with my son who said she sounded thick. He's 14 .
I've always voted Tory but this is the first time I've found it a shame that there's no credible alternative to consider or pressure the government.

Re: Diane Abbott
9..'Amber Rudd is the current Home Secretary'
She sure is and she was interviewed by Andrew Marr as soon as Diane Abbott had got out the chair, though you wouldn't know that from the first few posts on this thread.
She did not put on a great show to be frank, and was similarly inconvenienced by some of Marr's questions..one in particular....it was pointed out to her that the bomber's relatives and friends and the Imam at the bomber's mosque had all contacted the authorities and told them of their concerns about Salman Abedi as the 'Prevent' strategy encourages them to do...they were increasingly worried about his behaviour and comments and rants and so on..
She was asked in view of this if he was therefore under surveillance by the security authorities?
She was unable to answer this [in fact she didn't know !] because 'investigations were still ongoing'..
This was obviously a copout, and if she REALLY didn't know then she should know - very poor.
** I hope I'm a bit more objective than some of those who have commented above.
Diane Abbott is an incompetent liability and does great damage to Labour's overall campaign.
She should be dumped and replaced at the earliest opportunity.

The main problem with Abbott (and there are many problems) is that she is thick as pig sh-it.
Every time she is interviewed it's a car crash waiting to happen.

Re: Diane Abbott
Jeremy is so short of MP's that like him that he's had to put any old dross on the front bench. The shadow education secretary comes across as being as thick as mince too. Shame really as the manifesto is worth talking about.

Re: Diane Abbott
Corbyn is a dead duck. He doesn't have a party behind him. Just the dregs of the left remain. Abbott is the best he can come up with. No one with any credence in the Labour Party appears on his behalf. Just this odd bod who thinks that 'having'a rather fine afro' justified her in her support for the IRA killing and maiming members of the British public, servicemen and politicians.

Re: Diane Abbott
This is a real shame. I was convinced that my vote would be going to the conservatives, until the manifestos were released. I actually really like the Labour manifesto, I'm not entirely convinced by the costing and whether all of the promises could actually be met, nevertheless there is much more in there that appeals to me than the Conservative manifesto. However, the big problem for me is that whilst I could vote for the policies, I simply can't vote for the people who will implement them. Diane Abbott is a joke, as is much of the shadow cabinet.

Re: Diane Abbott
It's the first time she's been on the TV for over a week...she must have escaped from the big metal box at Labour Party HQ, in which she's been kept locked up. According to Rod Liddle in the " Sunday Times ", it's the same box Jim Callaghan used to keep Tony Benn quiet !!dermotdermot wrote:Corbyn is a dead duck. He doesn't have a party behind him.

Re: Diane Abbott
Any party can promise to give a £10k payout for every tax payer and an index linked 10% pay rise every year but if they can't fund them, they are empty promises that will rapidly disappear after the election.

This was obviously a copout, and if she REALLY didn't know then she should know - very poor.
In a week when there has been a very public spat between UK and USA authorities over the leaking of sensitive investigative material, the need for discretion in ongoing investigations is obvious.

Re: Diane Abbott
So Diane Abbott went a lot further than Corbyn in admitting support for the IRA at a time when they were murdering innocents and soft targets.
I kinda don't care that she's changed her views (or hairstyle) since. In my book she's a wrong 'un.
