Her being criticised for that is "pathetic" yet also today she has complained to the police about someone on twitter inviting Corbyn to chop her head off with a light sabre. Does she think light sabres are real?
Nice to see Ms Abbot respecting parliamentary tradition by not standing to acknowledge a powerful speech by a colleague

I'm no fan of Ms Abbott nor any other member of Labour's front bench, and I certainly think Corbyn's response to anti-Semitism within theparty he leads has been woefully inadequate, to say the least. However, I understood that the parliamentary tradition was not to give a standing ovation. However, it wouldn't surprise me if it was blind devotion to Jeremy Corbyn rather than an understanding of the finer points of parliamentary etiquette that drove her behaviour.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5625921/Sa...

Your use of the photo is "important news" because it proves that you are either (a) a gullible idiot; (b) someone who doesn't bother to check the source of what they broadcast before sending it out; or (c) someone who deliberately uses a photoshopped image to try and make a point.
None of these are the traits of a would-be Home Secretary.

Well I never knew that........pillion with Corby? East Europe?
Yep. They were 'an item' some years ago (20 years?) and she was rear gunner on a European jaunt by motorbike. Forgive the joining of those two words there, one is reluctant to write the second syllable on its own in this context. Malicious rumours abound about reasons for continued fraternal career support. Pure gossip of course, and scurrilous at that. Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
