Diane Abbott has a go at PMQs

i saw her today; & the look on Raabs face was one of utter disdain

So many years in British politics and House Of Commons never until yesterday despite on the shadow front bench been at the despatch box on PMQs. That really says it all!

First question:

"What's your favourite colour?"

I must admit I did not watch proceeding at PMQs yesterday as I was watching Bojo giving his speech at the Conservative Conference at the same time - I wish I could have done both.

Was the above question posed yesterday?

Same as you, Imp.  Any idea when it's repeated?  Parliament channel?

the Beeb showed a clip of her rant (split screen) whilst talking about Bozos

BJ gets panned for alledgedly giving an old flame some money and business trips. Corbyn gives his old flame his job for the day and nothing mentioned

now please excuse my while i go & vomit

Diane Abbot's PMQ's performance from yesterday.

That's politician for you - double standard aplenty when it suits. Maybe sexual association (allegedly) with "chicken" Corbyn is kudos on the shadow front bench. Shadow Home Secretary? Leave it out!

Thanks 'Gin'. Abbott began paying tribute to Black History Month in specific Asher-Smith winning silver...then she sat down instead of asking a question (?) to the laughter of the whole House; The House shouted "sit down, sit down".

No mention of Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce who won Gold, who is also black and a woman. Maybe Abbott is racist towards Jamaican's

Great stuff, Gin.  Many thanks.  Can't knock her for being nervous - who wouldn't be - but wtf is tis woman doing in the frontline of British politics???

When's White History month, btw?

Why nervous? The House Of Commons has been her 2nd home for yonks; she's been on various political debates and q&a so she ought to have been at home at the despatch box. But, she did raise a laugh though; maybe no Mojito was responsible.

Fair point, Imp.  Aye, she raised a good laugh at the start on her pre-question and another on question 7 - oops!

I'm surprised she didn't also mention Spurs getting stuffed 7-2.
They are there to run the country, not talk about sports, or what some nutters said on social media.

Abbott's car-crash performance yesterday can hardly be worse than her catastrophic Written Parliamentary Question from a few years ago when she was doing her Shadow International Development Secretary non-job. Below is the official Parliament website record of it.

Looks like we can put Geography alongside Mathematics as subjects she should avoid. Stick to playing the race card instead.

THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. AND WE PAID FOR IT.

More prepping than relying solely on experience; one no matter how experience cannot always wing-it when put under pressure - prep is a must.

I've just tried watching her yesterday and gave up. Did she get beyond blacks women and black women at any point?

I take it that all the people who criticised her performance yesterday, plus umpteen previous examples of her incompetence, can just be dismissed as WAAAYYYCISTS ?
