Like Galloway and Abbott , Livingstone falls into that part of the British left that are as interested in shameless self promotion as they are in pushing the left forward, he really needs to shut the gently caress up, maybe someone should start a petition to Corbyn.

The only real time I’ve actually seen people get mad over Abbott is when she was on HIGNFY and gently caress if I could work out what she did that deserved it as she barely said anything.

Why do people hate Diane Abbott? With examples would be nice.

I find to be very patronising often whilst saying quite dumb things, there was also the time whilst going on about how private educations was bad she sent her own kid to private school. Its either that or I'm a racist and I didn't know it, she's not as bad as the others but I've never had much time for her.

Her views seem fine enough, but she is irritating in that she crops up to do a 1000 TV interviews and often comes across pretty poorly. She was brought up as a shameless self-promoter, and I think that's a pretty valid accusation.

A lot of people find her condescending in a way that they still would if she was a white man, and she does come across more like a teacher talking to children than the charismatic go-getter legernd that people seem to prefer. A lot of people are just racist and/or sexist too.

Vaz is a corrupt gently caress, offers uninformed opinions on things, and has pissed off a fair few promising Asian political voices in the past with his "one true voice of the Leicester Asian community" routines. But two of those are par for the course for many politicians so I don't think it's fair to direct them specifically at him. I also don't think it's fair to not mention them about him just because a bunch of others do it too either.

You can sort of see his point though, poo poo as everyone's attitudes are towards non-EU immigrants there is an agreement and a common status among EU citizens. Cameron's been having a right laugh demonising people for daring to have the nerve to exercise their right to travel to the UK and live here, like what UK citizens also do in Europe. I'm not surprised Hungary's trying to make a distinction, because there is one, as much as Cameron cries himself to sleep wishing there wasn't

Left-wing Labour MP Diane Abbott has been accused of hypocrisy for deciding to send her son to a private school.
She is believed to have chosen to pay £10,000 a year for James, 12, to attend City of London School, rather than a comprehensive near her home in Hackney, north London.
Ms Abbott has previously been strongly critical of Labour colleagues Harriet Harman and Tony Blair for their school choices.

Jeremy Corbyn has likened his frontbench reshuffle to “a multidimensional game of chess”, speaking for the first time since completing the three-day reorganisation of his top team.

Speaking to the Yorkshire Post on Thursday, the Labour leader said of the process: “You start off with a chessboard and that’s fine, then you realise you’re playing a game on a parallel board as well and then you suddenly find there’s a third board down the way.

A "CRUDE and explicit" West End play is too vulgar for the BBC and should be pulled from the air, says MP Peter Luff.

Cult show Jerry Springer - The Opera, which contains more than 8,000 obscenities, is due to be aired on BBC2 on Saturday, but Mid-Worcestershire MP Mr Luff (left) has written to BBC director-general Mark Thompson urging him to axe it.

"I consider myself to be broad-minded, but this show was seriously objectionable," said Mr Luff, who saw the play at London's Cambridge Theatre.
