Just watching Question Time.... is Emily Thornbury the new Diane Abbot?

Labour seem to have sidelined Diane after her multiple foot in her mouth episodes....but Emily seems to have taken up the mantle with gusto!

She showed her true Coulers again when the Scottish lady made a valid point about d*unken stacks with glass bottles ! She just sat smiling smugly until she had to be told it wasn't a joke ! And to go and visit Glasgow infirmary on a weekend !

Amnesty International, using the tool Crimson Hexagon, ran an investigation on women politicians and their experience on social media, specifically Twitter. The data was run from Jan 1st until June 8th, which was just before the GE.

Diane Abbot received 45.14% of all the abusive tweets, 10 times more than any other female MP. Indeed, it was so high, it skewed the data. It had to be taken out to complete the rest of the survey. Google 'Diane Abbot social media Amnesty' and you will see the reports from many news websites.

It made interesting reading. Well, it did for me.

Emily Thornbury has always had the uncanny ability to stick her foot firmly in her mouth, it's nothing new. It's just that Diane Abbott's feet are bigger.

If there was an Emily Thornbury on QT last night I didn't see her.

There was an Emily Thornberry though.

I’m not gonna sent there is probably racism in a portion of the abuse. Not that abuse of any kind is right. However I also believe she takes flack from many who despise the dishonesty of politicians, as she often sets herself up to be transaperently dishonest. (I’m not saying she is more dishonest than others, but when she changes her position on numbers within minutes of herself then it’s just more obvious than the others who abuse stats)

I used to like her when she did that programme with Michael Portillo , a week in politics I think . But I think she has reverted to type and I actually think deep down she is Racist .

Tho I'm sure she is sometimes the victim of racist abuse her self !

Doesn’t mean they like her , it just means they hate the tories more .

For all we know , if you put a different Labour candidate in , it might increase by a bigger margin . She is a liability and doesn’t deserve her salary and expenses , some of the stuff that comes out of her mouth is vile drivel , the rest is just plain common or garden drivel .

back to Emily then. I shivered when it was mentioned she was touted as a future labour leader. And cringed with the kilt story. With, what seemed like, a scripted laugh.

A woman who is strong and articulate. Who has the guts to put their head above the parapet and say what is wrong with this world

More recently the Labour MP for Kensington, Emma Dent Coad called a black Tory MP "a token Ghetto boy". Not content with this openly racist comment though she went further and posted a picture on her blog of a stick man being hanged on the Conservative party's tree logo. This is the sort of vile behaviour we have come to expect from Corbyn's Labour party now though, so much for Corbyn's promise of a 'kinder, nicer sort of politics'.

Thank you.

Which is why I brought up the survey on female politicians. It makes uncomfortable reading when stats are produced...

That's Diane Abbott whose Parliamentary majority in 2017 was 35,139.

That's Emily Thornberry whose Parliamentary majority in 2017 was 20,263

Two Labour women politicians who the relevant voting public seem to like but who are mocked at a time when male politicians are being crucified for inappropriate sexual behaviour by ... journalists.

Anyone want to buy a newspaper?

I feel this is unfair out of context. He was talking about how people were anticipating a flood of short hand typists into the unemployment numbers ... which never appeared as people reskill (which is what he was talking about).

"Amnesty International, using the tool Crimson Hexagon, ran an investigation on women politicians and their experience on social media, specifically Twitter. The data was run from Jan 1st until June 8th, which was just before the GE.

Diane Abbot received 45.14% of all the abusive tweets, 10 times more than any other female MP. Indeed, it was so high, it skewed the data. It had to be taken out to complete the rest of the survey. Google 'Diane Abbot social media Amnesty' and you will see the reports from many news websites.

It made interesting reading. Well, it did for me. Racism is very healthy and thriving in Britain today."

There's no justification for Diane Abbott being the most racially abused woman in westminster.Unless you think her being bad at her job justifies it it.?

You just can't help pretending it's not racism can you. Here's a juicy fact.Excluding Diane Abbott, black and Asian women MPs in Westminster received 35 per cent more abusive tweets than white women MPs.Arr you suggesting only white people are competent and black an Asian women aren't.

No i am saying that only 35% of the tweets can definitively be cassed as racist , and no there are plenty of incompetent politicians of all races , emily thornberry ,ed mc donnell, and jeremy corbyn to name a few

I think it's silly to try to pretend that racism doesn't drive a lot of hate speech and behaviour in the UK. It's tragic that anyone could be so hate filled, when you learn the disgusting things that are said to people such as Diane Abbott.
