A Political Thread pt. 2

[TRF_Olyy]

The Tories complaining about childish point scoring

 

[Welsh Exile]

Well it’s better than accusing people of being racist when they question ex Russian finance minsters donating money to the Tory party.

If anyone isn't watching politics live... Goodness gracious Abbott is incoherent. Would be In Starmers interest to cut her loose as soon as he can, absolute car crash

Wouldn’t be the first time.

 

[Welsh Exile]

If Boris took your advice he’d have to axe himself and half his cabinet.

She always seems to get it worse than others, though. I wonder why?

Because she is normally far far worse than others with 0 charisma.

Really go watch from the beginning - she opened by applauding the people of Croatia for resisting invasion and went downhill from there

Ha ha. That is pretty funny to be fair.

Can't say I watch much politics live but generally drop in the rare times the north is high on the agenda. The one time I saw her she managed to contradict herself any opportunity she had to speak. Was surreal and almost impressive that it wasn't satire.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Croatia?

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

I do wonder whether she may be unwell as this is by far the worst I've seen her - she was noticeably shaking loads when challenged on if she still thought NATO was at fault but idk if that was nervousness or she is unwell?

Yeh I get the whole she is black and is perceived to get it more in the neck than others who are White. But still, she is an MP and laughably could have been deputy PM under Corbyn IIRC. But competence should have no colour bar.

But I think she is diabetic type 2 and so her sugar levels being low could explain some of her “car crashes.”

That may actually be it, I didn't know that. After ig cut away to Lewis Goodhall just now she seemed like a totally different person

Don't think it's just perception, there was a report out that detailed the insane amount of abuse and death threats she received


Edit:
Study by Amnesty International - she received half of all abuse thrown at MPs

Including ministers and the Pm? That seems a lot? Have you got a link?

Ah right. I didn’t know that. Yeh bunch of racist ***** out there then given it to her more than others. No different to those who jumped on twitter after the Euro final.

Black and Asian women MPs abused more online

We analysed abusive tweets mentioning women MPs and found shocking results. Read now.

Less than I mentioned above - news article I saw said half, but looks like it varied between 31% and 45% over the course of the study

 

[ncurd]

Yup its well documented she gets far more than her fair share of abuse. That doesn't make her a particularly good MP these days and she should really refrain from public speaking. She's never really impressed me much but you actually look at her history, she's definitely bright a woman who has overcome huge obstacles, she's essentially just past it now and probably not well.

But also yup just about the entire hardcore Corbyn wing this week have proven why they were ill suited for office (not that who we did get are any better, probably worse).

Ah right and only women MPs as well so that probably drops it a fair emount - surprised May didn't even feature on the list at all though and they don't mention excluding the PM?

Regardless, she does get a lot of personal abuse which isn't on

Maybe a loophole?
Like if she didn't have a personal account just the official PM one maybe that doesn't count as private abuse or something
