Senior Politician caught drinking on train
Discussion

So when the staff come round offering complimentary drinks you feel uncomfortable?
I won’t hold my breath while waiting for the staff to offer me a drink on The Jubilee Line, and there’s a world of difference between a couple of vodka and tonics in the buffet car on a Paddington to Temple Meads train, and chug-a-lugging Fosters from a NISA supermarket, on The Circle Line.Frank7 said:

What's the difference? You can look down your nose at one of them?

Who cares
I do she is a disgrace.She is not fit to help run a country.
Makes me think she may be drunk when she appears on TV
Not illegally though when Im an MP
Have you never had a drink after work then?
Its a sad day when we all have to get outraged at every little thing.

Lads on stag do on a train, yeah, fine, you'd expect it and they probably don't do it all the time, but doing it in your normal routine doesn't seem healthy or normal.
Not drinking in your normal routine isn’t healthy or normal? Please advise me on what abnormal routine I should be doing to have a cheeky Sauvignon. .
I think you could be a bit of a social misfit.

I do drink, and I do enjoy it, but I don't drink all the time, on public transport or on my own at home etc. limpsfield said:

Sorry, I probably laid that out wrong. What I was saying is if there's a group of lads on a stag do drinking on a bus or train, you wouldn't really bat an eyelid, as it's common behavior for that sort of thing and they probably don't do it everyday, just while they're on the stag do, but someone drinking regularly or everyday as part of their usual routine isn't healthy, even more so if that involves drinking on public transport on the way home.Please advise me on what abnormal routine I should be doing to have a cheeky Sauvignon. .

I’d read that, and the Prince Charles on knife crime article before realising that actually is the BBC site and not a parody...She is the shadow Home Secretary. She is a senior figure in Her Majesty's opposition.
At any time with a few weeks notice she may become a minster of the Crown
She is swilling alcohol on public transport like some common wino chav, and looks like one too.
NO ONE with any self respect casually consumes alcohol like that in broad daylight, unaccompanied in public and going about their usual business. Seriously, you just don't. That behavior tends to be suggestive of someone who has 'issues' surrounding alcohol.
And that's before we even start on the law breaking issue. If it was the Commissioner of the Met there would be an outcry. He though only administers the law.....she is one who MAKES it! She should be held to higher levels if conduct.
Politics in this Country, and the Labour party especially, is absolutely in the gutter at present. They are nothing but scruffy chavs, racists, anti-Semites and common criminals.

This. Absolutely this.
There’s clear evidence, she’s admitted it so she should be prosecuted.
If it was any other member of the public it wouldn't have registered with the person who took the picture. So, while it obviously demonstrates poor judgement, I don't think she should be prosecuted.There’s clear evidence, she’s admitted it so she should be prosecuted.
However it was 1pm and she was on her own.
Plus an M&S mojito.
I have firearm and shotgun certificates; were I on public transport in the middle of the day swilling cheap alcohol and looking frankly like a bit of a bum (drinking in public during the day makes you look like that on its own though) and my local firearms licensing officer sat himself down opposite me I would rightly fully expect questions to be asked regarding my lifestyle. This woman is one step away from being a Minister of State with great power at her disposal. It is more than appropriate to question her state of mind.
