Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

That article says fuck all anyway. The most serious accusation is an allegation:
The shadow Home Secretary was also asked about her own comments in a 1988 interview in an Irish Republican journal, in which she reportedly said: “Every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us. A defeat in Northern Ireland would be a defeat indeed.”

Ms Abbott said the comment was made 34 years ago and that she had since “moved on”.

Isn't this a bit hysterical? No evidence to back up that allegation provided. Just more innuendo.
 
No. And it isn't disrespectful to call her fat. Nothing can be construed as mysoginistic or racist no matter how personal or offensive. Abbot is always fair game. Those are the rules. [/everycuntintheworld]

She doesn't deny it, merely that she has a different hairstyle.

Hold on. Who here has commented on Abbot in any of those ways?

She's a loose cannon, not very bright, and a PR disaster. That's my opinion. Is that OK?

No, she is quoted as saying she has "moved on".

This article really is vacuous. It tells me nothing. The interview isn't shared and the Independent were happy to support the Tories last time around. There's very little to see here AFAIC

Those things may/may not be true, but I doubt she went into that interview prepared (perhaps naively) to be asked to justify allegations regarding something JC did thirty years ago.
 
No, just making a comment about the general (not you and not here) level of discourse when Diane AAbbot gets mentioned.

The discourse around Abbot is horrible, on all sides, and I always thought she seemed like a decent, considered, likeable person when she was part of the punch n Judy show with Portillo / Brillo - but will admit I turn over when she's on the telly now, can't watch, + have never got to grips with idea of Corbynite front bencher who considers state education not good enough for her offspring - don't see what Corbo / Milne see in her tbh - liability
