There's plenty of evidence that she wasn't stupid but now regularly appears to be.

Perhaps there's a reason for that apparent decline.
Wellllllll, you see.... Ummmm, wellll....

Not sure about that. She’s been unintelligent for as long as I can remember.

It’s a good excuse for it though, if you were a shadow cabinet member and had made a gaffe for example...

Again watch her earlier appearances on things such as the The Chase.

I think she got about £8K in the quick fire round.

Stupid people just don't do that.

I'm not defending any of her gaffes with numbers nor am I suggesting that she should get some kind of free pass if she is no longer up to the job and can't stay on top of her brief.

Just saying compare her apparent ability to think quickly a few years ago with now and perhaps ask "why's that then?".

His reasoning was poor people cant afford a £22 checkup and its checkups only. Reality is you cant even get into an nhs dentist (in wales at least). A free check up is pointless if you cant afford any work done.

I'm all for a nhs dentistry scheme but you have to go pretty much all or nothing forcing private dentists back to nhs from private.

I cannot believe Marr let him off the hook so easily today/this morning - well I can unfortunately....

Free check ups for all eh? Because if they aren't free, poor people wont go. Then what as said above?

Apparently it will stop people presenting to A&E with urgent dental issues - well I never.... I really didn't realise you could present to A&E with dental issues??

Does anybody with even half a brain (and DA) really believe this will achieve anything? Free check ups will be possibly done by dentists so that it generates additional works? Who pays for that? How? Or will they then trot off to A&E, magnifying/exaggerating their symptoms so that they get routine dental work for free through A&E?

Absolutely pathetic - as is his Brexit stance and the 'new deal within 3 months' and then put it to the people to decide???

tt!

She got the college place due to her being a minority. She scraped through. Anyone if even below average smarts could scrape through. For all we know the standard is lowered for minorities (back in the day). It was when my brother went to med school. Diane Abbott is below average, no question. She’s also anti Britain, a racist and terrorist sympathiser.
I assume you think that the 11 plus, O-level and A-level bars were also lowered for her?

Except I don't believe Labour care about internet access for anyone. They just want to grow the state because it expands their core vote and brings us all closer to being state owned.
I think so. And I’m not so sure it’s about their core vote, I think it’s pig headed dogmatism.

Dental checks and treatment is already free for those who are genuinely in a position where they couldn't afford it.

She was a grammar school girl from a working class background who got to Cambridge. She's subsequently had a high profile political career.

She certainly wasn't stupid. There was a lot of speculation about her health after her performance in the last campaign.

She really doesn't come across as being sharp enough now to have had the life she has lived.
I've said before but she appeared on an old episode of The Chase which was repeated recently.

I was shocked how well she did.

Don't get me wrong, if there is a medical issue that impairs her ability to do her job she shouldn't get a free pass, but I really wouldn't be surprised if it transpires she is unwell.

Stupidity isn’t an illness.
When the Shadow Home Secretary appears on National television and proclaims ‘Chairman Mao wasn’t all bad, he did some good things’ then where on earth does that rank. Utterly crass.

Latest polls have the Tory's as high as 45%. Corbyn will have to throw some massive freebies out there to stay in touch. It's slipping away. Not one poll has Blue below 41%.

In 1993 Corbyn apparently agreed with a proposal 'that black citizens be offered cash to resettle in Africa or the Caribbean'.

The Tories were miles ahead in 2017 until Labour launched their manifesto with promises of huge freebies all to paid for by someone else. It is highly likely that this elections manifesto will feature even more of the same.

The Tories were miles ahead in 2017 until Theresa May published her suicide note manifesto containing inter alia the dementia tax and winter fuel means test ideas which instantly alienated a big part of her core electorate..

And it's a mystery that they'll roll the same crap out again++
It was actually Mays aged care tax that lost them their huge majority coupled with the money tree from Labour. What will poleaxe them this time is the money tree is nothing new, their open immigration policy will repel a lot of their voters as will Leave voters.
My call is that Blue gain even more popularity.

The Tories have set the level with the money tree of dreams - Labour have added a wee bit to every one of the policies so they can pretend they'll do the most, but anything new with daft sums, then even the most die-hard are beginning to see that there is absolutely no way to deliver it.
