Why is it that Diane Abbot can't stop butting in when other people are expressing their opinion.?

Question

She's worse than Anne Whidicolme and Edwina Curry put together, if that is possible
Is it just a woman thing in that they can't keep their mouths shut.

Answer 1

If you are getting paid highly(plus big expenses) for doing nothing, you will understand where these people are coming from.

Answer 2

I agree, she is a typical self opinionated MP.

It amazes me how she can call herself a member of the Labour Party.

She knocks Tony Blair at every opportunity, not that I am a fan of Tony, but having won the no/ of elections he has he should expect support from the nonentities in Parliament like Ms Abbot.

If she feels so strongly she should cross the floor and join the Torys, she won"t of course because her constituents would throw her out at the next election and she obviously likes the "free ride" of being an MP.

She should learn however to keep her big mouth shut when other people are talking and listen for a change.

It"s about time This Week found a decent politician to accompany Michael Portillo.

Answer 3

When you have been as hypercritical as she has it's important to put as many words between you and the original incident as possible.

The private education of her son!

Effectively at the tax payers expense(we pay her wages) because the local comp in her constituency isn't good enough for her son. It's good enough for all the other voters though who will pay her wages and that of her son when he goes into a privileged public sector job.

Answer 4

Yes - Mind you I amn't all that impressed with Portillo either - both their analyses don't seem to be on the money any more. Maybe that show is getting past its sell by date. Their attempts to be hip keep getting ever more nauseating.

Don't get me onto Working Lunch! Shaw's shares are the only bit worth watching.
