Of course it’s ITV’s fault for asking the question

Be fair. Virtue signalling is very tiring work.

Apparently an excellent constituency MP, just not cut out for the pressures of front bench politics. Sadly.

It's not just a case of not being cut out for front bench politics. The issue of how Labour would pay for its policy of 10,000 extra police officers has been a topic of conversation for the past three months and she still can't get it right.

To be fair to Corbyn (and I despise the man) he's done a fantastic job in turning around Labour's fortunes recently; however I just don't see how they can be considered 'electable' when their proposition is that a woman who can't recall key facts and figures should be home secretary. You'd have thought that after getting humiliated on police funding once the figures would be etched on her brain.

Yep, like in many jobs she has been promoted to a position of incompetence and it means they look bad and can no longer step down to 'just' do a job they can do well

I kind of like her. In these days of scripted, rehearsed, coached pols it's refreshing to have one that's winging it and who clearly has no idea what she's talking about.

may and the tories only need to be marginally more incompetent and abbott will be home secretary. now that's a very scarey thought.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Not sure it's as simple as that. She clearly isn't capable of handling the pressure of a front-line job. Getting humilated once won't automatically make you capable of instant recall on numbers - if anything, it can worsen the situation, increase the stress you feel, make you even more incapable. It's a cycle and will get worse and worse.

As I say, I don't think she's able to handle the pressure and, yes, I'd take her out of the firing line if I was Corbyn.

Think the Tories have done as much to turn around Labour's fortunes as Corbyn has.

Although he completely outfoxed her in the election - making huge promises to all and sundry that he knew he would never have to deliver on.

The gift that keeps giving. She should be celebrated for helping to keep the Corbyn PR machine out of power.

He had a great opportunity to do just that but brought her back. I really didn't understand that.

I have to take issue with you on that, it's not 100% accurate or fair.

Some of them do, but they just lie instead.

Perhaps she did the counting of how many seats labour won at the election and that is the reason why they are under the impression they actually won.

She is an utter liability, unlike say Emily Thornberry (who I am not the biggest fan of) she doesn't have the sharpness to move on the interview in a situation like this. Instead she just bumbles through it and makes herself look like a moron.

I cannot abide the snobbery of Thornberry but she is a top performer who can think on her feet. She is far better at PMQ's than Corbyn because she can deviate from the script and put her opponent under pressure.

But the business of government is not done in the childish punch and judy show
That is why, as we can all see, Mr Davis is grossly incompetent
accordingly by his standards the labour woman isn't that bad

The logical conclusion of your post is that Diane would be a better brexit negotiator than Davis.

I think that probably shows how silly your post is.
