Diane Abbott quits the shadow cabinet.

Jesus loves you.

I missed this thread when it started.

Urmstongran or anyone else who knows the answer - why is Diane Abbott leaving the Shadow cabinet a vote catcher, please?

Good grief grandad43 if someone starts a thread on a topic
which is of interest to you then you would contribute etc

With respect that was so pompous

Completely agree with you Greymar, but getting some people to acknowledge that it doesn't matter what political party you cleave to, basing your opinions based on the colour of their skin, the way they speak or look, or how their name sounds, is racist. There's been a LOT of whataboutery on here from some people who have tried to justify it. It doesn't matter how long Diane Abbott or Priti Patel have been in office; the racism one has been subjected to does not trump the other.

satire
/ˈsatʌɪə/

the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

I guess that's my broad mind crashing up against a lack of vocabulary.

Diane Abbott -
Nothing is made in the UK these days.
I just bought a TV and it said "Built in antenna" - I don't even know where the hell that is.

Fake news.

Judging by some of Dianne Abbott’s tv appearances I doubt she knows where she is!
