I wonder what TM was really doing tonight?

If it is a choice between the Jeremy Corbyn/Diane Abbott Show and the Theresa May/Amber Rudd alternative I am thinking "a plague on both your houses".

POGS not sure why you used the word 'but' - there's no way the original lie by non can or should be qualified

Oh! Steve Bell btw

Shes become a gift to the cartoonists. There are some hilarious really biting ones out there.

One i can repeat in answer to the OP

Why wont she debate?

Mays reply as a big yellow chicken

"Im far too strong and stable, and anyway i do it every week at PMQs"

" im far too strong and stable, and i despise politicians who squabble among themselves"
"Im far too strong and stable, and much prefer insulting the members of the public in person"
"Im far too strong and stable, and too busy preparing for Brexit"

The irony is delicious

Watching Corrie?

If we are talking thick -the Tories have many they can offer up. All thd Brexiters have been notable for their sheer ignorance about how Brexit will work. Every utterence has been an embarrasment.

It wasn't Thornberry but it was Labour Transport Secretary Stephen Byers Press Secretary / Special Advisor, Jo Moore!

She resigned over the matter, along side Martin Sixsmith.

I thought your post referred to Andrew Murray Rigby - there's no need to be challenging when in fact it was not clear what you were talking about and I was just asking for clarification.

TM enjoys cooking and has a collection of cookery books at her country home.

My post was to not and the lie was about who said burying bad news on 9/11 . Didn't anyone else know it was a lie? Or are you all happy to let lies stand if they are about Labour politicians?

No, I've had a lovely day roses without thought of any politics!

Feeding very greedy goats etc

Or is it a lie that Corbyn's public persona has improved since Murray took over?

What are we all doing up at this late hour talking politics! Don't we get enough of it during daylight hours?

What's a lie Rigby46?

if it's about Andrew Murray having left the Communist party to work with Corbyn, then surely that has been very widely publicised?

But it's not personality, it's intelligence.

I thought DA was supposed to be a clever girl when she was very young but I have serious misgivings about her abilities and think she is floundering hopelessly.

FFS Not that's a bloody lie - check your facts or don't you know how to use google? That's a bloody bloody awful lie to post or are you going to bleat that you've got a right to your opinion - well you haven't got a right to lie

Corbyn has improved his public appearances since Andrew Murray left the communist party to become his campaign organiser

Mines - point taken but could you see DA doing a good job as Home secretary?

Jalima - agreed. Wasn't she the one who advocated burying bad news on 9/11? She is a very annoying woman who seems to think she is superior to everyone else. I do have some sympathy with Diane Abbott (single mother etc) but she does herself no favours. She is an excellent example of the Peter Principle (getting promoted until one reaches a job one is incapable of doing).

Why would anyone not vote Labour because of Diane Abbott, even if she is very annoying? Would you not vote Tory because of Boris Johnson, who is equally annoying? Surely you vote for a party because you agree with its politics, not because its MPS are personable. Or have I got it all wrong and I should be voting for a personality - is this really a reality TV show and not the most important election in my life time?

But Thornberry is as thick as a plank as well NotTooOld!

JC didn't mind letting people down tonight in the West Country - obviously appearing on the telly and getting one over on TM for doing so was more important than speaking to the converted in Bristol etc.

Gosh ab you mean party leaders are coached before appearing on TV < faints>. Oh no sorry, only JC. Phew - had me pearl clutching for a moment.

The 'girl' jobs at home?

Diane Abbott as Home secretary? TBH she's about the only thing that stops me voting Labour. Corbyn really needs to dump her. I know he's loyal to his mates but really DA is a step too far.

I think JC has done well in his TV appearances recently. He comes across as confident and mostly well informed. TM on the other hand looks nervous and sometimes seems unprepared. I too think she made a big mistake not appearing on the BBC prog tonight. It must have cost her a few brownie points. In answer to the OP's question, she was probably doing the same as me - cooking the dinner (does she cook?) and watching Coronation Street.
