It's not a phrase that would even occur to me, let alone post on social media.

But she's quoting the language of chairman of the Conservative Party?

She’s completely irrelevant, might as well ask my cat for her thoughts. If she was relevant at all to UK politics then fair enough, but everyone - including Labour themselves - see her as a bit of an embarrassment. I don’t understand why this got bounced.
It’s like bouncing a thread from a decade ago pointing out Gary Gardner is still shit.

I think the point is it (she) no longer matters.
Like "whatbout Boris Johnson".
Still.....I think the thread bounce has been useful. It has smoked out some rum coves. Not that they needed much smoking.
Because the thread bouncer is a desperate wanker.
This trolling is f***ing tedious. f*** off potty, for f***'s sake.
It's you that's embarrassing.

I did however panic, in the same way I panic when I see a famous older name I like as the thread title, thinking it’s a RIP thread. Something like “Abbott to be lynchpin of reshuffled Labour shadow cabinet”

Not really got much to add about DA's tweet, other than it's quite funny/interesting/dumb that people on social media who are frothing at the gash about what she said are also fully behind Lee Anderson's comments (which were subsequently supported by others in the Conservative party) about them 'going' back to France. Which is the point she was (very clumsily, to put it mildly) referring to.

Apologies, my mistake.
In hindsight it would not have taken a second to start a new thread for this poor taste, social media blunder.

No I'm not, the ex Shadow HS interview was embarrassing. Instead of labeling me why don't you defend her interview?

I think the only relevance of this story is to vindicate Sir Keir Starmer's sound judgement to remove the whip away from her in April 2023 in the wake of ill-conceived and badly-worded comments about Jews not suffering racism.
She should not be let loose anywhere near a Twitter account.

'Has-been' politician? She still is a politician!! I would also guess one who would stand a reasonable chance of securing a cabinet role should Labour win the next election, hardly a 'has been.'
Wow the great HWT somewhat stumped for words and unable to defend a shocking Labour party MP interview, imagine if that it was a Tory MP making a complete fool of themselves live on Sky news, we would've got one of your 'oh so quirky look at how intelligent I am' posts.

You think there's a reasonable chance that Starmer (who removed the whip from Abbott) is going to give her a job in the cabinet?

Well if there are 'quotas' to fill...You think there's a reasonable chance that Starmer (who removed the whip from Abbott) is going to give her a job in the cabinet?

Keir understands she’s a car crash waiting to happen most of the time and removed the whip from her . At least he has seen sense .
