Re: She's off on one again !!
Labour leaders backed Diane Abbott, the Left-wing MP, yesterday over her decision to educate her son privately, days after condemning a Tory MP for saying he would do the same.
Labour MPs were taken by surprise by the news that she had chosen the £10,000-a-year City of London Boys School for her son, by-passing four comprehensives in Hackney and Stoke Newington, the constituency she represents.

Re: She's off on one again !!
I watched Diane Abbott on question time last week and she was awful
It was a complete embarassment from start to finish so if she ends up as leader of the labour party then that will put back the fight against the present government for years to come

Not likely to happen is it. I'll give you a clue as to who I think will be the next leader of the Labour Party. Someone with the name Miliband.

Re: She's off on one again !!
I think Ed Balls is going to be the surprise winner
he was a Bildeburg attendee - groomed for it, by those really in control

I'd be surprised Margaret, if that was to happen. He's a long way back at the moment.

Re: She's off on one again !!
I think the Labour party are underestimating the public's loathing for any candidate so closely associated with the Blair/Brown governments.
It could very well mean that they don't win the next election.
If they were at all in touch with the mood of the electorate they'd realise that it was time for change, and time to consider what alternative to the centralist the Con/Lib coalition might be most appealing to a disillusioned country.

Re: She's off on one again !!
It really is quite intriguing that so many of the views expressed lately by runners for the top position, were in direct opposition to old Gordo & his crew. Had they been so vociferous & outspoken previously, perhaps they could of deterred the man from his course of self destruction & possibly Labour (somewhat battered & dishevelled) may have hung on to power.
As it is we're left to try & comprehend this internal wrangling & turmoil on our own merits. Oh dear, it certainly isn't looking as though all's well & squared, disagreement, denials, positive discrimination & deary me, plottings & allegiances on the suggestion of others ! The Borgias ?? Haven't got anything on this lot !

Re: She's off on one again !!
Burnham said on tonight's local BBC news that he didn't oppose the cutting of the 10p tax band because he was 'a team player'.
He may be wearing his working class roots badge to look appealing, but the Cambridge grauduate and careerist politican, spins as much guff as the other clone candidates.

Re: She's off on one again !!
The Milliband's dad - Ralph - was a notorious rampant commy back in the fities and sixties and no doubt like all Marxists he believed in the family and hereditry principle of government. That applies whether it's North Korea with the ll Sungs, Cuba with the Castro's, or closer to home, the UK with the Wedgewood-Benns and now the Millibands.
