Glad she’s gone 12:41 - Feb 24 with 8234 viewstractordownsouth

Whilst I appreciate the service, she was completely counter productive to the cause.She was given much more stick than other politicians for her gaffes but she did make a lot of ridiculous statements and was quite toxic to a lot of voters.

In her defence the massive gaffe over police numbers etc was made when she was unwell. In general though she was not very competent.

Not sure the miserable crew in power are accurate (or truthful) when it comes to numbers either!

Diane Abbott wasn't great, but then again if she's the benchmark for a bad politician then I have no idea how we ended up with BJ as PM. Based on that evidence I guess Diane's biggest fault was being black, female and not an expert in narcissistic manipulation.

no, a downvote for suggesting that criticism of abbott is because she's black and female. not sharing your views doesn't make people racist or misogynist. sorry.

I agree.

Take away race and gender please. I don't see that. I just see a person who is genuinely stealing a living.

We talk about MP's who do nothing, she is incapable of adding anything. Sorry but she needs to be pensioned-off.

She was clearly massively incompetent but I think she got a rougher deal than she would have done if she was either a Tory or not black.

do you really believe that race is an issue?

Judging by the social media abuse she gets then yes it definitely is. I do believe she is incompetent and should never have been on the front bench, but the scale of over reaction to her gaffes is quite ridiculous. Same as David Lammy, I don't particularly like him and think he can be a bit hysterical sometimes, but he gets some awful abuse as well, when there are MPs who have made similar mistakes but don't get as much grief for them.

Could you imagine the grief she’d have got if she handled the Olympic Stadium or garden bridge the way Boris did?

I would like to know from those who think it’s not a race/gender issue - why does BJ get a free pass then?

A valid point. I mean not a fan but her over BJ any day. I mean she did most the work anyway, he just came in at the last minute and took credit for it. Or whatever credit you can take for lighting the fuse to a bomb on your own doorstep.

Because BJ is a Conservative and the abuse Abbott gets is from the right.

Does Jeremy Corbyn get abuse? Yes.
Is Corbyn a black woman? No.

Abbott got more abuse and death threats than anyone. Being a woman and a minority seems to bring out the worst in political opponents.

Think harder.

Why has BJ got away with p1ssing money away on a stadium that a PL club now get at the taxpayer’s expense? Why did he get away with p1ssing £27m on a garden bridge he was told would never work?

Yet a woman goes on TV and gets a sum wrong and she gets no end of stick.

That doesn't rebuff what i've already said. Again, if Jeremy Corbyn goes on TV and makes a mistake, you think he doesn't get no end of stick?
