Anybody here think Diane Abbott is a good shadow home sec?

Her shadow is certainly great.

Is that good?

She's wasted in that role.
Should be given Rachels job on countdown.

She's wasted FULLSTOP mate, imo.

Shadows don't come much bigger.

Eclipse Home Secretary.

I could see her fitting very well into a totalitarian type of government.

Along with Harriet Harman, John McDonnell, Emile Thornberry etc.

These are not the kinds of people we should be putting into positions of power.

It's easy to feel angry with some of these politicians sometimes, but Diane Abbott is a complete embarrassment, totally out of her depth, awkward and unsure of her facts when interviewed, stunningly unprofessional ! And any small hope Labour had of winning this election has probably now been destroyed by Abbott !

Corbyn should keep her well away from any more TV or radio interviews, and the Tories must be loving her gaffes and saying "Please go on.....please just go on, please...."  And it's not just recently, she has been an embarrassment to Labour for years.

Must know where a lot of the bodies are buried to have clung on this long with her track record.

@Dr Crippen --  could see her fitting very well into a totalitarian type of government.

NO

She's a heavyweight on Corbyn's front bench.
