Diane Abbott quits the shadow cabinet.

she has been a ground breaking politician

Lol!
She tried to muzzle the press using her money, over the reporting of her son's assault on an emergency worker.

My tinny comment was deleted.

What I find hilarious is that you have no idea what colour ANYONE on this thread is.

Admit it, Diane Abbott is just a duff MP.

Funny isn't it people seem to think racism only consists of saying "I hate her because she's black" They don't seem to realise that it is enshrined in the negative and critical things they post and their inability to give credit where it is due. I do wonder if they ever examine their own motves and prejudices.

Is it my imagination or have some comments been deleted by HQ. I wonder why?

You are perfectly entitled to dislike her or her policies Fiachna50 but she has been a ground breaking politician and has acheived much coming from a working class background and going to Cambridge. If people won't acknowledge that there must be a reason. I hate Farage but will freely acknowledge that he is responsible for us leaving the EU.

I wouldn't bother to feed it, trisher

There is not one racist comment on this thread...

Trisher
If you think there is, report it.

Diane Abbott has always been incompetent (that's being kind: considering she supported the IRA: She admitted it).

Victims of the "Troubles" will probably think much worse of her than me.

I thought KV was a well known paedophile.

ananimous it was acknowledged as a photoshop. Do try to keep up!

Trisher, why is it when anyone criticises a black politician it is racist? I am talking about a person I do not like and whom, quite frankly got paid alot of money for a job she clearly was not able to do. I dont like Ann Widdecombe or Nigel Farage, I take it that is also my unacknowledged racism. You know nothing about me, so stop assuming.

Yes greymar. Keith Vaz. Labour MP for Leicester. British Indian descent. Hard working and respected.

Or Oona King, MP for Bethnal Green. She happens to be African American British and she's much respected by her constituents and colleagues alike. Or Dawn Butler MP for Brent, Black British. My point being that critiscm of Diane Abbott is erroneously being blamed as racism by one particular poster. She's clearly wrong.

Try walking in the shoes of most MP's,

Just not Diane Abbott's as they will probably be odd.

Ah well done Annie, nothing if not a good memory. How does this fit with your so called Socialist credentials?

Diane Abbott dismissed her change of mind about supporting the IRA equal to her change of hair style.

*Perversely there are posters who have been extremely nasty occasionally about MP's they dislike, verging on hate but who do not see themselves as perpetrators whilst chastising others.

Couldn't make it up*

Really? and you are so very kind?

suzie, it is polite after all? very very polite.

Keith Vaz? What?

Urm do you get an extra kick about starting threads to attack Labour women MPs?

Hahaha

POGS minimising the sheer amount of abuse DA received vis-a-via other MPs is just despicable and disgusting.

They'd suit you better.

I’m getting a bit worried about how well the kickers boots are bearing up so I’ve sourced these for you on Amazon.If you get together you might be able to negotiate a group discount.

"In the above, I believe Abbott demonstrates to all, especially younger people, how we should all act and function in life, and in that the world would be a much better place."

Really ?? She speaks with forked tongue. This is the lady that wanted to get rid of private schools yet her child had the benefit of a private education She never did give an answer to that one.
It's do as I say and not do as I do. Again, it's easy for those at the top to pull up the ladder behind them and deny others less fortunate.

Dianne Abbott has undoubtedly been trolled and suffered awful racist abuse, received the vilest of threats from social media.

Other MP's both female and male have also suffered the same.

Try walking in the shoes of most MP's such as Jacob Rees Mogg, Boris Johnson, John Mann, Margaret Hodge, Lucianna Burger, Ruth Smeeth, Priti Patel, Sajid Javid, Tim Farron etc. etc. etc.
