Of course you may call me Bill old chap....Measured. Of course you may call me Bill old chap. That or the Right Hon.<br /><br />I totally disagree with the favouritism. Abbott has been an MP on her own abilities for decades. Not just because its a safe seat. Other minority MPs, especially Labour ones, haven't been able to hang on.<br />The party should not have been compelled to put her on the ballot. She should have got on on merit. But that's the issue. Dianne, nice enough as she is, does not merit a place. She could not lead the Labour party to victory, and that is what this is about. Not an 'ideas seminar.'<br /><br />If they wanted to Cooper or Harman would have got on the ballot by their own machinations.<br /><br />What is a shame is Dianne can't get the deputy role. That would have been ideal for her. A sort of more literate and intelligent John Prescott. Appeals to the unions/left/sisters allowing the shadow PM to be a ... well 'Tony' Miliband.<br />All it would need is someone who thinks they have been cheated out of the top job, who wanted to be leader but would accept shadow chancellor, has a paranoid, bullying, sulking streak and was known to be a secret coup plotter. ... called Ed.Bill Quango MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861116614665461655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-88925620291451844742010-06-09T18:49:30.960+01:002010-06-09T18:49:30.960+01:00BE: She has a limited public presence.

Ethnic minority, single mum, first black woman elected to the HOC, nearly 25 years as a backbencher. On paper she looks good. In reality, she is not leadership material.Bill Quango MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861116614665461655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-91037294622557199602010-06-09T18:16:56.009+01:002010-06-09T18:16:56.009+01:00"Well, Bill. I may call you Bill, main't ..."Well, Bill. I may call you Bill, main't I?" to paraphrase Abbott, I think Harperson was thinking about herself and the next leader. She was not thinking about Abbott, although I think Abbott will be flattered. Truth is we now know what happens to those that study PPE at Oxford. Not sure I approve of this favouritism, or positive discrimination, but it seems win-win until Abbott realises she will be pushed aside.measuredhttp://Twitter.com/measurednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-26574787169265037462010-06-09T17:25:53.604+01:002010-06-09T17:25:53.604+01:00I think Diane Abbott will make an excellent Labour...I think Diane Abbott will make an excellent Labour leader.
