I suspect that must be correct or the press would have pointed out any inaccuracies with the statement.
To even get into Cambridge she would have had to have obtained top marks in her A-Levels etc.

Re: Diane Abbott
In all seriousness, I wonder if she needs to see a Doctor. She has become somewhat "confused" recently.
She may already be doing so. Time will tell in due course.

Re: Diane Abbott
I'm sure he did, nails through your hands and feet tend to make you do that apparently. However, I fail to see how someone so monumentally stupid as Abbott could have got to, and through Cambridge university without someone fighting her corner. Even her colleagues appreciate that, it's such a pity the general w4nk and file don't.

Re: Diane Abbott
"The even uglier reality for Miliband is that the New Labour era was a golden age for the PFI. The modern PFI is the child of John Major’s Conservative government, but it was adopted and thrived under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Between 1997 and 2008, 90 per cent of all hospital construction funding was under PFI agreements, which paid for 75 per cent of all hospitals built."

Why do the Labour supporters refer to Blair as if he was never the Labour prime minister ?
With regards to Abbott, I have no doubt she got to Cambridge on her own merits and hard work. Academically she's obviously pretty bright.
Being bright and having held quite warped views, whether it be on the IRA/ability of white mothers/disbanding MI5 etc just makes her more dangerous.
Even if she went to church and confessed all her sins and took full time employment in a children's hospice with a vow of silence,
she was still a grown up educated adult who still supported the IRA against our own soldiers and failed/refused to condemn the murder of innocents.
More news now about 'nice guy' Jeremy and the support he gave the PLO at a rather bloody time. Oh well, at least he was consistent if nothing else.
You've given up trying to defend Blair, you might think about keeping some credibility by giving up on these two.

Nowt to do with my post but...
PFi in its place and purpose would have been ok.
A bit like taxes, just a case of what you do with them.
John Major was a knob and I thought so at the time.
The only man in history to run away from the circus to become an accountant.

John Major. However, PFI is justifiable in small doses to get projects off the ground. Blair and his idiot friends ripped the ar5e out of the concept and we'll be paying the tab for decades to come.

Re: Diane Abbott
Potentially a national embarrassment imo. As if she could be a credible Home Secretary. A Corbyn led government would be an absolute disaster. Appointing this clown is a taster of his decision making.

I don’t get how people are thinking rich people are in the conservatives and labour is for poor people. Just look up a few labour mps or ex mos and see how much they’re worth ! Yvette Cooper for instance has 3 properties worth over £2 million. Diane Abbot earns over £300k and her home is worth over £1 million. Tony Blair is worth over £22 million and has loads of properties ....

I think I remember reading a few years ago that “the liars” salary was around £140k. Must’ve been some shrewd investments going on, as he left office a millionaire.
Didn’t he also have private health treatment at some point?

Re: Diane Abbott
I like how some are commenting on her level of academia as that somehow qualifies Diane Abbott to be in public office. When I worked for Royal Mail the number of graduate entrants I saw flounder when it came to having to do real work, manage staff, think quickly on your feet, was quite alarming. In my view she is not suited to the type of adversarial politics that we have in the UK.

Look. Everyone makes mistakes... but how long do you have to be a public figure before you work out 1, your every move will be scrutinised, and 2, you SHOULD be beyond reproach.
Clever she may be, but thick as mince she most certainly is.
If labour want to be taken seriously, they need to lose Abbott. She is to labour what BJ is to the tories.
