Strong words HackneyAbbott um it appears you may have to 6th June DMiliband we need you back get ready

With her and Corbyn the Tories have no fears. They must be the two most incompetent politicians ever

We need an election to end the austerity, we absolutely love Jeremy Corbyn, me and my son Aron dale he looks like harry styles xxx

Just not the ability to call one, which is a problem.

Have no chance with her in the party

Why am I giggling? Have UKLabour entrusted their finances to HackneyAbbott - so their war chest will be about £1.75. Awk bless.

A war chest for an election that is unlikely to ever happen and even if it did, they would be likely to lose on the basis of their current approach to Brexit. Talk about having your head up your own arse.

They put a fiver in the piggy bank then

I hope one day this lady will lead the nation, as she has a hallmark of good leadership.

Careless talk costs lives.

For sale. Political influence.

I thought Blair spent all the war chest.

Let's hope she hasn't done the maths again!

Question Time: Why can’t the BBC admit if it’s wrong? | Jane MartinsonThe weird response to errors such as those when Diane Abbott was on the show often makes things worse Hasn't the constant BBC bashing reached its sell-by date yet? Diane Abbott was useless and it’s nothing to do with her sex or race. If the Labour Party choose her to represent their view, then it is they and not the BBC who are to blame.
