what do we think of diane abbot's bid to be Labour leader?

[grumpypants]

thought Question Time editor bloke v rude to bring up nigel havers' letter, but otoh she is a bit 'feisty'...

Apparently Harriet Harman has nominated Diane Abbott!

shows how little faith she has in the rest of them.

nonsense. HH must just be making a point about the lack of women in the leadership race

John McDonnell has pulled out! If his nominations go to Diane Abbott she will have a decent chance of making the 33 nomination cutoff.

shame, I would have liked him to continue putting his left foot in his mouth

Apparently Diane Abbott has made the 33 nominations!!
