The Tories wisely keep Boris in the background, why on earth do Labour allow Diane to meet the media?

Stubborness?

Why should we let the entire media, satirists and most of the public, dictate who put forward for car crash interviews?

It seems every party has their Sara Palin

Quite incredible.

I truly though they would lock her away from public speaking after the Nick Ferrari fiasco

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Tears of laughter. J/C puts up a fair arguement/question and then this.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Now Michael Fallon making a complete tit of himself, but little mainstream coverage...

OMG, I've just watched her being interviewed on SKy News by Dermot Murnaghan. It was really painful; I almost felt sorry for her.
She really is so far out of her depth it's unbelievable

I think she's pretty much on the ball

Wow, I'm in awe of her complete grasp of the overarching issues and her ability to define a clear and concise strategy is enlightening. Maybe I was too quick to judge

It sounds like someone repeating what is being said from an ear piece

It looks like a clip from a program about dementia.

She says her peice and then site back looking smug. "I've nailed that" - she's thinking.

Diane Abbott - the gift that keeps on giving.

Are you sure it isn't an android being controlled by Labour HQ? Or perhaps Tory HQ?

It may be giving for you, but its taking from me.

Let's be honest and put away the partisan points-scoring for a second. The lack of talent on both sides is truly frightening. Fallon, Abbott, Thornberry, Rudd, McDonnell, Patel, May, Corbyn - what a shower. I wouldn't back a single one of them to make a success of running a corner shop. As a Labour supporter, I despair of the entire shadow cabinet beyond Keir Starmer and Barry Gardiner. Luckily I live in the Green Republic and can vote for Caroline Lucas, who is the best constituency MP we've ever had of any party.

I'm in a Soames certainty zone, but your comment is pretty much spot on. Sad really.

Well said.

True, the quality of the political class at the moment is poor. However, Abbott really is a huge step down and I can't think of one person who could possibly defend her as a potential Home Secretary (OK, maybe 1, Ernest, who thinks anything in Red is great and in Blue, the spawn of Satan).

May has f*cked up here. Perversely, in some ways a hung parliament with a Labour led coalition may be good for the Tories. Blood-letting ensues, new faces come to the fore and the coalition won't survive once they have tough decisions to make. Opposition is easy; the strains would show I feel and it wouldn't last a term.

She is bloody woeful

I think it's more about how many fellow Labour MPs resigned from his shadow cabinet, and don't want to be anywhere near him. That leaves him with McDonnell and Abbott, almost by default.

Never in the field of UK poitics has one leader so captivated an audience with so little support from his peers.
