Is it me or ha she been quiet and not used for interviews over the elections yesterday.
I mean late last night and today she hasn't popped up.

She’s been out campaigning with Owen Jones in Wandsworth, not that it made any difference to the outcome.
Looks like you missed a chance there!
What I don’t get about Di is that on paper, she’s smart.
I work with a few people who attended Oxbridge and on the whole they’re well rounded people, some are seriously switched on, emotionally intelligent and competent (although there are a few who would fit in the category of being functioning auts - but again, not thick).
So, why does she some across as thick as s
t?
I also wonder when she’ll start campaigning for her alma mater to admit all genders

David Lammy is another one who on paper is clever and well educated, yet all the direct evidence shows anything but.
Quite a few like that in the ranks of MPs and it's not just them playing for the crowd.
If you came across someone like that elsewhere you'd probably draw some obvious conclusions.

I suppose it’s similar to our work. We have university students doing part time work through their summer holidays, the jobs they do are simple warehouse order picking and packing.
It’s a very easy job that just requires a bit of basic logic and common sense.
These students are often doing all sorts of degrees and complex stuff at university, yet they struggle with straight forward things.
My uncle said to me years ago, it doesn’t matter how many qualifications you’ve got if you can’t manage something as simple as opening a tin of beans

Oddly, she does not appear in their list of famous alumnae:I work with a few people who attended Oxbridge and on the whole they’re well rounded people, some are seriously switched on, emotionally intelligent and competent (although there are a few who would fit in the category of being functions auts - but again, not thick).

A common assumption to make. Her USP is not her brain or her ability to make the most of consolidated intelligence imparted by others.I work with a few people who attended Oxbridge and on the whole they’re well rounded people, some are seriously switched on, emotionally intelligent and competent (although there are a few who would fit in the category of being functioning auts - but again, not thick).

It is the biddable loyalty of association to people that matter in her perception. In her case it is the knowledge that she stands a good chance of continual election by her constituents. Therefore a bankable asset in the numbers game. Every circus needs its clown. Having said that, there does seem to be an over supply.
