Carl BenjaminHOST
Yeah, they'll get 26 seats in the same way they've got the sort of...
Carl BenjaminHOST
Clive Lewis's the John McDonald's the Diane Abbott's you know and then you've got the sort of like wet you know centrist Labour types who are the majority because most people aren't that would have been your coalition that would have been fine we would all have been in it
DanHOST
maybe that's the danger right because I had a mate who was going through a sort of divorce type situation separation years ago And he was telling me how much he was paying on a monthly basis.
DanHOST
And he said, look, I don't know if I'm being too generous or not.
Jordan NorthHOST
Lady.
Jordan NorthHOST
Diane Abbott.
Jordan NorthHOST
No, keep going.
Jordan NorthHOST
She may not be over anymore.
GerryAUDIENCE
I totally agree.
GerryAUDIENCE
I mean, because he will never have a better opportunity And I think on Tom Swarbrick's show, even Diane Abbott has picked up on that.
GerryAUDIENCE
Yeah, that
Iain DaleHOST
does give me pause for thought when Diane Abbott agrees with me, but there we are.
GerryAUDIENCE
Well, yeah, same here.
GerryAUDIENCE
But, you know, it permeates that far down that basically he has to call a general election, I think, within a week of the budget.
Geoff NorcottHOST
I think I did it in 2017, 2018.
Geoff NorcottHOST
2017, I was on with Diane Abbott, and I got into a little bit of scrape with Diane.
Geoff NorcottHOST
Because suddenly Diane had gone, obviously the Labour Party thing on Brexit had changed.
Geoff NorcottHOST
Rather than call them all racists, they'd suddenly gone towards, you know, we need to embrace our Brexit voting friends.
Geoff NorcottHOST
I never thought there was enough that's been said about the fact that Diane Abbott speaks a little bit like Margaret Thatcher.
Geoff NorcottHOST
That is the worst thing I could possibly say to her, but I don't think we say enough about that.
Geoff NorcottHOST
And I kind of reminded her that after the vote that she'd said that a lot of people were just voting to get brown people off the street, which was just fucking bizarre because it was a vote about a predominantly Caucasian continent.
Clive HollandHOST
Undercover reporting, of course, isn't new.
Clive HollandHOST
I mean, Labour joined the anti-Semitism crisis and Frank Hester's comments about Diane Abbott, which were revealed due to undercover reporting as well.
Clive HollandHOST
It's sort of, you know, nothing new.
Clive HollandHOST
uh where these people get you know brought to book really but it shouldn't have to take um a undercover reporter to draw this out i mean you know people should just behave their damn selves it's as simple as that and be decent and that's all we want of course anybody who votes for anybody want want those people to be decent they don't want them to be telling porkies or you know being the next new pinocchio which you know for me in in politics at the minute it really bothers me you know i'd love to see the truth party no matter how difficult it might be for people to take We want the truth.
TomHOST
Birmingham Ladywood comes next, led by our current Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, with $590 million in annual welfare spending.

TomHOST

Alicia McCarthyHOST
The Deputy Commons Speaker, Nusrat Ghani, said she'd been to the reception for Black History Month.
Alicia McCarthyHOST
She'd been joined by the longest-serving female MP, the Mother of the House, Labour's Diane Abbott, and the newest Labour member, Sehgal Abdiwali.
Nusrat GhaniSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It was so fantastic to be in the room with both of them.
Nusrat GhaniSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The energy was fantastic.
Esther McVeyGUEST
Neil Duncan Jordan, the one who laid that amendment for the immigration bill.
Esther McVeyGUEST
Poole, Diane Abbott, John McDonnell, Imran Hussain.
Esther McVeyGUEST
Rattling all these numbers off and they are placed right around the country.
Esther McVeyGUEST
So they're on the back benches destabilising what the moderates in the Labour Party might do, but geographically they're spread around the country.
Rafe Haydel-MankooGUEST
There is nothing that the British people hate more than hypocrisy.
Rafe Haydel-MankooGUEST
You know, it's Diane Abbott criticizing private schools while sending her children to private schools.
Rafe Haydel-MankooGUEST
It's that sort of thing that really sticks in the craw.
Rafe Haydel-MankooGUEST
And to see people like Ed Balls interviewing his wife, on television to see what we just saw there on Sky News on the weekend.
