David Lammy

Someone wasn't paying attention in biology class.

This came up years ago in a MN thread. Lammy said this (it never comes up on the doorstep) on some platform or other and a woman came on the thread to describe how DL came to her door (by-election?) and she told him she was terribly afraid of losing her hard won rights. He reassured her that he would never ever allow anyone to take her rights away. She wept with gratitude.

And here we are.

I hope he did.😂

I've never been canvassed on the door by anyone. I'm not sure anyone puts much effort into Tottenham given it's one of the safest Labour seats in the country.

You'll be right about that, @GCintottenham, which is obviously why he can get away with spouting such rubbish.

I heard this on the Newsagents this week too. 🤞

I know he is a seriously not-clever man, but can this be real?? From 2013 I think. Found on a youtube also discussing his Mastermind embarrassment

Yes, it's real. Here's the coverage from the Evening Standard but it was on other media too.

His pathetic excuse was that he was tweeting from the chamber and not paying full attention. No, mate, it was abysmal ignorance.

What it certainly shows is massively poor judgement. If you aspire to be a serious politician in the world stage, you'd have thought "Never Tweet anything without checking and double-checking it first" would be axiomatic.

I'm gobsmacked. I thought it was a stupid joke. Well I was half right.

He seems to view everything through the lens of identity politics.

And apparently a fog of ignorance.

But like other ambitious MPs he is prepared to toe Starmer's line on issues he once would have held diametrically opposed views on...such as nuclear weapons, the war between Israel and Hamas, and so on.

Lammy held Tottenham, unsurprisingly.

But his share of the vote has gone from 76.0% in 2019 to 57.5% - that's a pretty massive drop IMO. I hope he pays attention to that.

I'm one of the votes he lost, and he lost it for no other reason than his misogyny and arrogance in enacting a law that implicitly says women (the original group defined by their sex) aren't important enough to need their own name, rights or political voice.

If he had a cervix he'd be dangerous.

😂

If he had a cervix we'd never have ended up in this mess in the first place.

Something I knocked up

Well, he does speak Russian, which is pretty impressive

I think he learned a little speech, but doesn't really speak it. Apart from

Is he trying to grow a cervix there?

His Boston fern seems to be doing fairly well.
