Oh dear. It seems that another hard-of-thinking Corbynista has shown themselves up again. Labour has been enjoying the chance to make political capital out of Suella Braverman’s current woes, with the Home Secretary on the ropes amid an avalanche of questions about her judgement and competence. But never doubt the ability of Sir Keir’s barmy backbench band to pull defeat from the jaws of victory.
Cometh the hour and cometh the woman, with Diane Abbott – a socialist who could have been designed in a CCHQ laboratory – riding to the rescue to lower the tone, once again. Having failed in the 2017 election, failed in the 2019 election and most recently failed in her ‘Zero Covid’ crusade, the Hackney MP now seems to spend most of her time with her foot in her mouth.
In her one of her typically ill-judged tweets, Abbott yesterday offered her thoughts on the migrant crisis, addressing the issue with her typical tact: ‘Teenage boy raped at hotel housing refugees. Terrible case. But it is what happens when you demonise migrants and take NO responsibility for safeguarding migrant children.’ She added a picture of Suella Braverman with the hashtag ‘SuellaBraverman Out.’ And you thought Braverman’s use of the word ‘invasion’ was offensive.
Given their many attempts to paint themselves as a government-in-waiting, will Sir Keir & Co. take any action against Abbott? Don’t hold your breath…
