I dunno, Diane Abbott's been an MP longer than I've been alive and she's likely had shittier party leaders than Keith in her time. She's more than entitled to her opinion. No boring number fact/cat picture here. Just me telling some of you to gently caress off.

Regarde Aduck posted:I mean yeah she’s a good person but she’s never been a good mp. They might actually be opposite positions. lmao what the gently caress are you talking about? she's an immensely popular and active MP in Islington*. She's also a busy campaigner, active in debates, and nobody has a bad word about any of her committee work. You can define "good mp" as a bunch of different things but the only one where Abbott isn't top of the labour party is tabled legislation, which is expected from someone who isn't a practicing lawyer *hackney Spangly A fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Jul 2, 2021 |

I don't really blame her for wanting to be the bigger person, even if it's not a good long term strategy.

In fairness, you could tell me Hackney was in Croydon & I'd just nod "thought it was more Inner London but I know nothing on this topic"

I don't think she has a chance. The Grate British Public have been heavily schooled by the media to ridicule her at every opportunity. She suffers more abuse on twitter than all the rest of the politicians put together. Women Labour MPs such as the vile bully Jess Flaps do not give her any support (Jess Flaps boasts of telling DA to gently caress off though DA says she doesn't remember it). She stood in 2010 and only got 7.24% of votes (Source: wiki). This was the election Ed Milliband won.

Like, understand, I've made a hobby of reporting Twitter racists. The sheer ingrained prolificness of Diane Abbot mockery is insane. It's not like cutting a cerberus head, it's like mowing a 20 acre lawn.

I'll be charitable and say OP meant "good politician" rather than "good MP" because I think that does actually fit the sentence rather better. Also you've already corrected your brainfart but I've mentioned before the street my brother used to live on is on the border between Hackney and Islington and never has a border between boroughs been quite so obvious:  https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.5305177,-0.0924508,3a,75y,346.3h,92t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sKZrzRtMt-bG98q9EZryDsQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 if you fancy stalking somewhere i last visited 25 years ago, it's really pretty remarkable just how little it's changed considering its proximity to the City.

I walked through Islington once - me and a friend went to see Amon Amarth play at the HMV Forum (Kentish Town) in 2011 and he got paranoid about congestion charges and we basically just dumped the car there are walked. The it turned out charges don't apply on a Sunday or something and oh well. Some proper wannabe rudeboys threw us some homophobic abuse because I dunno, we were two men walking down the street (just like them, lol) and from the sticks so must have looked out of place. Some very big houses in that part of town.

There's a lot of speculation, though none from anyone obvious, that the sunday papers might have a bit more detail.

I'm pretty sure the colloquial name for rum and raisin is "malaga" ice cream. A real brisitish staple through and through

Do they still do those sort of most eligible bachelor lists? Cos Gove just shot to the top of the list. I don't think I've got the turns out to be rubbish AZ vaccine but the handwriting on the little bit of paper they gave me is totally illegible so could be loving anything.

The issue with Gove isn't that his alleged affair is/was with a man, it's supposedly a poweful ex spad who now works in Downing Street, and who is now best mates with Carrie. He's yet another powerful unelected person with huge influence at the centre of our government. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/apr/24/chatty-rat-he-may-be-carrie-symonds-best-friend-but-who-is-henry-newman fuctifino fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Jul 2, 2021 |
