Nodding Dog Politician

[NellieMay]

Can someone please tell me who the female black politician is who sits on Corbyns right-hand side on the front bench. She just sits there nodding with a smug smile on her face. Very weird!

A quick remedy to put you of sex for life,
Jeremy Corbyn making mad passionate love to Dianne Abbott,
Who needs love island?

I've often wondered who she is too.
I've also often wondered how anybody can support Labour with Corbyn as leader.

I think I'd be a nodding dog too in such a position.

She was not particularly gifted academically and before becoming an MP she was an officer for the General Municipal and Boilermakers' Union and an advisor to Ken Livingstone. She has represented two constituencies in Brent for a total of nine years. In March 2009, she came under criticism for claiming almost the full £23,000 annual second home allowance, despite her other home in Stratford being the same distance from Parliament as her Brent South home. She had claimed £2,650 for new central heating and £2,308 for a suite including a whirlpool bath.

So I suppose a woman who has no real talent or skills for anything in particular and who has been raking in wheelbarrows full of taxpayers' dosh for a decade or so, but who needs to do nothing other than nod and smile will do just that. I'd do that for £100k a year - even if it meant sitting next to Jeremy Corbyn.

Thank you New Judge for giving me real reasons for taking a dislike to this smug faced female. :0)

She does my head in , I have actually thought about sticking a piece of paper on the tv screen where her face is while I watch PM questions as she irritates so much lol I have mentioned her before because it seemed that she was constantly talking to him and it made it seem like she was telling him what to say.
