Has Abbott the faintest idea what’s going on?

I genuinely don't think she knows what day of the week it is.

Well, if Corbyn is P.M. and she is Home Sec, fun times ahead 😀

Polygamy will be legal in a Corbyn regime.

Considering the rate of infidelity you’ll probably have a lot of people supporting that.

"Rate of infidelity" - got any stats on that? How could anyone know?

Abbott is absolutely shocking. Corbyn must know this. He's not nearly as stupid as she is, I don't think, and has actually done some tactically astute things. So, I just can't see him keeping Abbott as Home Sec for more than a handful of months should he get elected; and I wouldn't be surprised if he moved her aside before a (scheduled) general election. He had to offer her the shadow post, because at the time he was elected leader she was the only person with cabinet experience who backed him. But I think he's repaid that debt enough.

It should be noted, of course, that the vitriol reserved for Abbott isn't matched by the same vitriol for white men Michael Gove, David Davis, Boris Johnson or Jacob Rees Mogg, who all give complete and utter abortions of interviews, sound like they're drunk and half asleep, and aren't able to string two coherent thoughts together.
This is despite all those white men being in positions of far greater power than Abbott.
I wonder what it is about those white men that makes them subject to less criticism.

Does Abbott whine especially about the abuse she faces? It would be interesting to see what the abusive mentions are in reference to. Abusing a politicians politics is differrent to abusing them for their weight or attractiveness (imo.) |

You want a special category of whiney-victimhood for Abbo?
Okaaaaay ..... exceptionalism is as exceptionalism does, I suppose.

It's a step forward, but it's nothing like enough. |

I'm pretty sure they don't believe in it themselves. It's pretty cynical stuff.

Much like the "nationalise everything" slogan which is flavour of the months. Smacks of Great Leap Forward.
It was propaganda de-facto bullshit after WW2 and it's cynical, totalitarian bullshit now.

I'm pretty sure that Corbyn's cabinet don't really know what they believe on the EU. They keep trying to do contradictory things. They try and present the Tory position as "immoral" yet only offer economic opposition. At the same time they don't want to scare Labour racists, so they're very carefully avoiding saying too much, and never, ever say anything about EU migration. This despite Corbyn's reputation among Labour-fans as being a plain speaker, who'll take the moral high ground. Just because he did on the Iraq war.
Even more ironic, Corbyn's traditional opposition to the EU has all been about the economic stuff, so coming back on the Customs Union but not the other parts of membership looks doubly cynical.
