Isn’t he allegedly shagging Liz Truss?

God knows why she would, I know the woman’s a complete idiot but by Christ going for Gove really is scrapping the bottom of the barrel

@Franklin12

Diane Abbott is a blithering idiot who can barely string two words together so anything she says needs to be firmly ignored. She is a massive hypocrite who thinks the rules are for the plebs.
Diane Abbott went to Cambridge and was the first black female MP and is the longest serving black MP. What have you achieved?

Most of the cabinet are blithering idiots and self serving hypocrites to boot, why don't you call them out?

Unfortunate X post. Should have refreshed. 😂

I meant the separation explains the weird column.

thecatfromjapan · 02/07/2021 18:52

I think the Popbitch rumour is that it's a number of others, nancy75.

Which is quite extraordinary, really.

nancy75 · 02/07/2021 18:54

thecatfromjapan that can’t be true, I can’t believe he got one woman to go within half a mile of him, let alone a number of them!

RickiTarr · 02/07/2021 18:54

@SpindleWhorl

I dunno really why it's currently among the main headlines of all the leading newspaper websites, eg Telegraph, Guardian, Mail.

I guess because Gove and Vine wanted it to be?

It’s a hint when the papers splash too big with a story. It means “brace for the associated juicy scandal” we aren’t legally safe to publish yet.
Nicolastuffedone · 02/07/2021 18:56

They obviously haven’t just separated since they’re finalising their divorce…

SpindleWhorl · 02/07/2021 18:56

I think it's fair to challenge hypocrisy among Cabinet ministers, and along well known journalists who publicly write about such things. I agree other stuff (families, private lives) is off limits.

And the relevance of that is?

I thought she had inexplicably had her IQ halved when o saw a couple of her unfortunate incidents, but since then I’ve had occasion to find out that that is what happens to a diabetic whose blood sugar is running far too high.

It’s illness, not stupidity. OFC, if you disagree with her politics, you’ll label it all stupidity regardless.

It’s one thing to have once been a journalist (who was sacked for making up quotes and absolutely raked over the coals by his former boss) but for a PM to be married to a working columnist would be a massive conflict of interest.

sadperson16 · 02/07/2021 18:59

Vile woman. Really vile.

Sarah and her struggles to come off antidepressants.....yeah right.....would sell her Granny.

Mrs08 · 02/07/2021 18:59

Not popular with either the party, fellow mps or the public though?

Mind you, hasn't stopped the last two fuckers...

thecatfromjapan · 02/07/2021 19:00

I have a strong suspicion that many of the people who accuse Diane Abbott of stupidity have fewer academic achievements to their name than Dianne.

But anyway ...

By a significant margin probably.

SPAD is a Special Advisor I think.

Special Advisor. Wannabe politician with a Russell Group first who is putting in a couple of years hard work making useful contacts before they are found a safe seat.
