I suspect you know exactly how so but I'm not going to fall into the trap and have something I say be taken completely out of context, twisted to suit a narrative or misunderstood.

I thought she has diabetes?
Which still rumbles on with the lack of clarity for Boris's flat refurb - now pushed under the Ā£3k carpet... I know they don't get paid a lot for their posts but they did choose to stand as MPs and should be totally accountable. I don't agree with politicians being appointed to areas where they don't live just to give them a safe seat.
You seem to be trying to turn it into a race-based thread. Only you. It isn't. There are threads on Boris and Keir and... politicians are as interesting as z-lebs and actually affect our lives.
Wasn't there an airport with errm no airport - Ramsgate?
Because rich people are running it without a conscience.

Someone I know with strong links to Hackney politics says itās thought by a lot that She is retiring at the next election,.
In fairness, the only one who seems to be making assumptions on this thread, is youThe assumption Iām not white
In my experience the sort of people who comment with statements like āthrowing the race cardā, are racists.In fairness, the only one who seems to be making assumptions on this thread, is you
Diane Abbott is not without her flaws, but she is judged far more harshly than white fe/male peers and always has been.
It doesnāt hurt to take a moment to think why that might be.
Back to the thread, Iām a bit confused as to the post on page 1 with the attachment about him being appointed something to do with Brexit... doesnāt/didnāt Diane A oppose Brexit? (Not that it means relatives canāt take different approaches, but a bit odd if it was nepotism that got him the job role but itās for something in direct opposition to the policies and beliefs of the person who got him in).
EDIT: I donāt agree with Diane and on a petty level, I really canāt stand her voice, but I do feel sorry for her sometimes.

In my experience, plenty of politicians are judged harshly. People on this thread have judged Diane for what she's said and done and for the actions of her son - you're the only one trying to make out it's anything else.
Iāve just come across this thread, but can anyone confirm that Jeremy Corbyn and Diane have been having an on off again affair since the 1980ās?
I don't know for sure but I think they had a brief relationship in the 70s and that was it. They've obviously remained friends though.

Nope. Wrong again, nice try thoughThe assumption Iām not white
Used to live in Hackney and have a council connection. Diane was at that time completely inactive on a local level politically - unlike her counterpart in the other half of Hackney.
I also had a good friend who was in the same class at school - with Michael Portillo.

Use of the term is a hand on face emoji itself.
Portillo and Diane are friends, which I find both strange and really nice given their respective politics. We need a bit more of politicians being opponents not enemies in this day and age.
I don't think she does herself any favours. Every interview I've seen of her shows her as ill prepared and a waffler ( like most politicians) . I think she's in it for her own gain and is a major string puller.
