Such stunning lack of self awareness:-
Ms Abbott said Ms Bruce did "not appear well briefed".
Pot. Kettle. Black.
(My use of the word black isn't racism by the way Ms Abbott...)
Haha, from the woman incapable of reading a brief let alone understand what it means.Ms Abbott said Ms Bruce did "not appear well briefed".
Pot. Kettle. Black.

Thick as mince.

oh well I guess she won't be appearing on Question Time again
Corbyn will have to send some of his other star turns instead.
I guess we'll be seeing a lot more of Emily and Keir each week then.
Good. The more the public sees and hears from these people, the better they'll be able to form an opinion on them too.Corbyn will have to send some of his other star turns instead.

Oh dear, she really is the gift that keeps giving!
“Ms Abbott said it "would be wrong to blame Fiona Bruce for all this. Question Time has had a new editor for some time, and seems more interested in entertainment than politics.”
If the editor’s been there for some time, since 2017 in fact, she’s hardly new, dear.

If Fiona Bruce was chairing Question Time properly and had to intervene to stop Dianne Abbott speaking twice as many times as she needed to intervene when Rory Stewart was speaking, that doesn't necessarily make it Fiona Bruce's fault.

I reckon Fiona Bruce did her a favour not allowing her to respond to the audience member. Every time Abbott opens her gob she puts her foot in it, so it was damage limitation IMHO.
Perhaps we should have a program for her to participate in alone to debate specifically on a key part of the subject the audience member spoke towards - Abbot’s suitability to hold a position in high office. Every word she utters should be analysed and debated in that program.
I’d even suggest we give it a couple hours and any moment she wanders off topic, her mic gets turned off. At the end of the program, the audience can decide if she still has a job. Hey, we could even call it Parliament’s Got NoTalent, Dancing On Lies or something catchy.
Then do exactly the same with the other 649 for a comparison. Should weed out some of the dead wood.
Dancing on Lies, I like that!Perhaps we should have a program for her to participate in alone to debate specifically on a key part of the subject the audience member spoke towards - Abbot’s suitability to hold a position in high office.

Diane was - well just being Diane - full of platitudes - but absolutely no substance.

I'd be interested in knowing how much speaking time was afforded to Diane - if she was given twice as much for instance.
She waffles according to Isobelhttps://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2019/01/the-row-over...

It seems like an unfair and opportunistic approach by momentum to bully the new host and the editor into reducing criticism of left wing assholes. Remember Corbyn threatening " a change is coming" when talking about the media. Imagine if they ever get into power.
The original complaint came from a worker for Chris Williamson, Jyoti Wilkinson (looks like a pleasant chap) https://twitter.com/JyotiWilkinson/status/10860609.... This has Momentum's grubby fingerprints on it and is an attempt to bully. They really are the most odious faction in mainstream politics at the moment.

This fella's been reading the (updated for the 21st C) Goebbels playbook - he would have slotted right in there. This has Momentum's grubby fingerprints on it and is an attempt to bully. They really are the most odious faction in mainstream politics at the moment.
