[ToraToraTora]

the electorate are shallow but this women is completely radio, she thinks Labour will win!

[Zacs-Master]

Is there anyone Sane in the Labour Party?

[bhg481]

I think she looks better in skirts than Corbyn as well, so that should help her win too.

[Cloverjo]

What a ridiculous thing to say - and I'm a Labour supporter.
TM's hair is grey and bowl-shaped. I'm sure no one is voting for her because of it. If she had hair like Amal Clooney's I still wouldn't vote for her party. :)

[Baldric]

She said: 'We will win this, if we win it'

Always good to be positive, another Diane Abbot by the look of it.

[Old_Geezer]

To put it in context you need to quote the whole sentence.

[naomi24]

Baldric, I haven't read the link, but did she really say that? Really? Can't stop laughing.

[Zacs-Master]

Not quite, she is quoted as saying ''We will win this, if we win it, on the basis of our policies and the fact that we have been able to get over our message on the doorstep showing people that it does not need to be this way."

Taking out the second comma makes quite a difference.

[murraymints]

well I vote BORIS !!!

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - As is so often the case, that section of her remark has been isolated and taken out of context.

Theresa May is going to win the election - but it's not because people like her hair - Ms. Thornberry knows both of those facts as well as anyone, and she is not so stupid as to get caught out with such a fatuous suggestion.

It's just The Mail having a spin ... so no change there.

[Jackdaw33]

If the unthinkable were to happen then on 9th June the four great offices of state would be held as follows:

PM Corbyn
Chancellor McDonnel
Foreign Sec. Thornberry
Home Sec. Abbott

With that scenario I think the Tories might just scrape through.

Blame The Mail for reporting something a lot of the others are reporting as well.

Hmm

[youngmafbog]

It's the usual on here.

Thornberry showed her true colours a while back with her white van man comments.

A truly odious condescending woman.

[andy-hughes]

Mishroon - Yes, all of those as well.

It's a talking point, but like so much in the media, it doesn't actually mean anything.

[andy-hughes]

Ooops - that should be Mushroom - fingers not in gear yet!

[whiskeryron]

Another Lady in Labour LOL. Did the Labour Party get a job lot of these stupid women on the cheap ?
