To ask the posters on the Diane Abbott threads to read this

[Dandandandandandandan]

I don't like her politics. I think she has said and done some stupid things. If I lived in hackney, I would never vote for her.

But I saw this on Facebook and in the interest of fairness, wanted to share it. Because it makes some very good points. I still don't like her. I still think she's out of her depth and incompetent. But I hold my hands up and say, this at least made me rethink and appreciate that she has done some good things too.

Great thread op. I was looking on u tune last night st her first win as an MP and she was bubbly witty and just so so excited.

Now I don't agree with her politics and she has made disgraceful comments that in other jobs would have seen her sacked but she was always articulate.

Her recent appearances were awful and she's probably done a lot of damage to labour.

If she is ill I hope she gets better of course but I hope never to see her in any post of authority or government again as she's not up to a front bench position and indeed never was.
