Oh it's okay everyone.....Lily Allen has announced her support for dear old Diane........."Allen waded in on Twitter to defend Ms Abbott from criticism that she was damaging Labour. 'It's hardly surprising given the amount of racist sexist abuse she receives on a daily basis from people, press and mp's,' she wrote."

So there you have it...must be true :-D :-D

When Jeremy becomes PM on Friday he is going to need support from all the Labour MPs and will need to allocate the job of Home Secretary to someone who is acceptable to them. That is unlikely to be Diane Abbott.

See the questions has to be though when it's obvious no one in the western world thinks she should be Home Secretary why let her run all this time under the mantle of shadow Home Secretary? She's been that for how long now??

Kense Report 6 Jun 2017 16:38

Because in opposition none of the competent Labour MPs wanted Jeremy as leader so didn't want to be in the Shadow Cabinet. If he is in power then their reluctance will disappear.

"KENSE has it spot on in the event that Labour forms a govt with SNP support.
Moving on to more senior jobs Bojo has not been exactly a great example of stron an stable, more like ( suggestions).

If the Tories are the largest party - certain - I get to trouser £500 and May has the right to try and form a govt Before Jez gets a go. As Caroline says polls can spring surprises. Nothing like the surprises that dead govts feasting vampire like on the coalition can spring eg Merkels coalition with the Socialists or the strange win of the centre left in France.

May could offer far more to Sturgeon than Jez and Labour would ever do.
What could be on offer then?
Federal UK, single market, unrecoverable defeat of Labour.
But could May sell it to her party?"

There you go off subject again Rollo you mentioned this on other threads but this is a fun thread about Diane.

That said you're saying everyone should vote for Labour and the unknown.....who knows who will do what job except dear old JC.....isn't that like saying I'll hire a plumber but I've no idea who they are??

Caroline Report 6 Jun 2017 18:20

And there we have it Rollo goes back to insulting me again

"BTW why have you reposted my piece is it so good that like New York you had to read it twice or are you just slow at reading?"

It is a fun thread in so much as the whole of the western world is laughing at her.....find me even a Labour flag waving press report that praises her.

I've never said the Tories are faultless and I said start your own thread on them by all means.

By the way...by copying it you can't delete it .... :-D

So is Diane Abbott a liability then? Yes, in my opinion.

I see the LibDems have trotted out their liability too - Nick Clegg. :-(

Caroline Report 6 Jun 2017 18:39

See all the parties have them Rollo!

But as the thread says it's not so much her as her in that job..... :-D

Caroline

Caroline Report 6 Jun 2017 18:56

So in a nutshell after that long long lesson in "history".....you agree she shouldn't be Home Secretary

To even things out, Phillip Hammond - Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer - That's the person in charge of finance - so he Should have a 'grasp' - was 'only' £20 billion out on the cost of HS2.
David Davis was wonderfully slapped down by Krishnan Guru-Murthy about politicians lying. :-D :-D :-D
