O/T Diane Abbott

Because of their policies which will benefit the vast majority of folk in Rotherham, perhaps?

The trouble is that Diane Abbott has calculated how to pay for them.
She is a laughing stock and should have been sacked but, then again, Mr Corbyn really likes her doesn't he?

Honestly, would she have gone this far in politics if she was a white male?

Not quite true though is it, fact is only one manifesto is fully costed, but don't let a few facts get in the way of your spin, you'd do the tories a fine spin doctor job Mellow...

Which manifesto is fully costed? According to the IFS, there is a £9bn shortfall in Labour's figures. That assumes that Labour are not going to reverse the current freeze on benefit levels, which is the case if you believe the manifesto, but not if you listen to Corbyn.

Indeed, stil, the stark choice for all of us is clear, we either continue to allow austerity to get worse (austerity which was needed to reduce the national debt, according to the party of economics...)or we elect a party prepared to do something positive for the country as a whole...

Make your choice on the 8th...

Not sure that he does, remember his choice of alternatives is severely limited because some other likely candidates won't side with Corbyn.

Also when you add in some of the other "boxes to tick" like being female and being black then the short list gets very very short.

I'll put money on them all siding with him if he gets in.
