Haha, I was only asking for any avoidance of doubt.

Diane Abbott is her own worst enemy and in my opinion not as intelligent as we are led to believe as she comes out with some real stupid statements and the only reason she is Corbyns no 2 is for the years he spent giving her one. She has not only let herself down in many ways but also her party.
A few headline quotes that have been publicised:
Diane Abbott has been accused of cowardice and asked to apologise by a fellow Labour MP after missing the historic article 50 vote on Wednesday evening.

1. Scottish Labour figures have hit out at a key ally of Jeremy Corbyn after she appeared to write off the party’s chances in next year’s Holyrood elections.
Diane Abbott, Labour’s shadow International Development Secretary, said it was “too late now” for the party to rebuild its position in Scotland in time for the poll.
The SNP seized on the remarks saying that they were an embarrassment for Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale.
A Scottish Labour source also hit out accusing Ms Abbott of knowing nothing about Scotland and adding: “Nobody up here takes her seriously."

2. Irrespective of what I (or you) think about Abbott, I have never yet met a politician who goes into an election saying that they expect to lose it.

3. Dianne Abbott at the centre of another race row: Shadow minister for public health, Dianne Abbott is at the centre of another race row after tweeting ‘white people love to play divide and rule’ during a conversation on Twitter about the sentencing of Stephen Lawrence’s murderers.
Abbott, who was at the centre of a previous race row in May last year when she described Nick Clegg and David Cameron as ‘two posh white boys (read Diane Abbott hypocritically attacked for ‘two posh white boys’ comment), is again in the media spotlight after tweeting that ‘white people love to play divide and rule’.

It seems that it is not the lads on these boards that are racist but her herself as she is always bringing her colour into it on so many occasions when it suits her. She is in all honestly a very bitter stupid and totally useless MP (even if she won MP of the year twice which was obviously a fix) Even her own party MP's dislike her intensely as mush as a lot of us do. The only good thing about her is the fact that she makes the Labour party look stupid and unfit to govern which is good for Theresa May.
Can you imagine if Abbott was deputy prime minister it makes me shudder to even think about it.

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

She's a deplorable, detestable Cnut.

"It's not the bullet that's got my name on it that concerns me; it's all them other ones flyin' around marked 'To Whom It May Concern.'"

I think the most pertinent paragraph in that article is
as the programme was going on a clearly furious Ms Abbott posted on Twitter: 'Desperate stuff by May. Claims I want to wipe DNA database clean. Never said that. Curious that she is singling me out for attack

May lies again and it's overlooked.

She didn't know what to say or where to look last night when someone in the audience mentioned Hammond getting figures wrong after her taking the mick out of Abbott.

You a getting so so boring.

And your point is that politicians lie?

Great point Nick.

I'd be more worried that the leader of my party is a Communist, IRA sympathiser who is still deputy chairman of CND and wants to surrender the Falklands and Gibraltar. Oh and Diane Abbott.
