Never change, Dianne...

[GloverMart]

Meanwhile, the future might just look brighter under her as Shadow Home Secretary....

Seems she's been let out of the box.

Making a hash of the Andrew Marr show, her comparison between changing hairstyles and views on terrorism are stunning.

MI5 has reformed. That is nice.
How does she know?

Just watched it. Given the events of the past week...? Incredible.

Interesting that both Dianne Abbott and Amber Rudd were on the same program - it made for an interesting comparison. Rudd appeared clear and forthright, Abbott somewhat less so. I cannot imagine Abbott as Home Secretary, being actually in office.

I just can't understand why even a desperate Labour Party would allow such a disaster to represent them on TV. Or anywhere else for that matter.

I'm sure they'd like to lock Diane in a box, however if the Amber Rudd is invited on you've gotta field the shadow home secretary.

Quote of the week from JC when pressed "Diane Abbotts hairstyle is a matter for Diane"

The thing is they've been making gains in the polls, so general public must like this sort of thing.

Joking and political mockery aside, it is a reasonable bet Abbott is probably not very well.

The high-confusion, high-nerves, stuttering, low-confidence, low-memory, low-discretion behaviour is becoming an all-too-frequent occurrence. Not an Abbott fan, but hope she's okay. She seems in trouble behind the mask.

I don't ever remember her being any different.

There has definitely been a deterioration in recent months. The pointers are not encouraging.

What's the betting on it Yipper...?

34 years is a long time. Constable Jane Arbuthnot would have been 56 today if she hadn't been murdered with 5 others in a London bombing by the IRA. I can't find a picture of her hairstyle and she was deprived of the chance to move on and change it.

D. Abbot is displaying signs of severe stress and a collapse of confidence. Unless there is a change of circumstances there will be an escalation leading to breakdown. Somebody in-house who cares should have a strong word.

I'm not sure how you can go further downhill from supporting IRA victories against the British state or saying someone responsible for the deaths of up to 60 million people was on balance a force for good.

She appears to have been ill for a very long time, but not so ill Corbyn wouldn't think her the best person available to him to run the Home Office.
