This doesn't sound very good.

Let her. The more she takes part in this sort of nonsense, the easier it is to alienate her.

The left isn't playing it very cleverly, is it? Jez walks into the most obvious trap since Andrew Hilditch was hooking bouncers down fine leg's throat. A bunch of others resign from the shadow cabinet on issues where Labour's got no chance of defeating the government. Unite's assistant general secretary signs up to a webinar with Tony Greenstein (eventually withdrawing), and now this from Abbott.

I've some sympathy for RLB (though I was in the minority on that) but overall it looks very like they want their comfort zone back.

The left never does. It constantly digs itself into holes of its own making, where 99% of the population think they are a bunch of pricks.

This, then by association, rubs negativity off onto the rest of the party.

The real trick is spotting the elephant trap before you fall into it...

A former Shadow Foreign Secretary appears to think "Uyghur" is a place, and not a people.

Astonishing.

It's a great pity that someone who should have been seen as a trailblazing role-model for so many has spent so much time destroying what should have been her legacy.

Knowing when to quit, is notoriously difficult.

Seen that described on Twitter as an 'ifpology'. Nice...

She reminds me of a one hit wonder* from the 60s or 70s who is still trading on her one monster song, despite never having produced anything of note since.

Astonishing.

Seems like the official name of the area is "Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region", but ""Uyghur" looks an odd way of referring to it. Never heard people say that before.

It is. Sometimes these are justified eg when something's just come out wrong. But, if Katerji is correct, that's not at all adequate here.

And now plays bottom of the bill on nostalgia packages, opening with the follow-up that got to number 34, then twenty minutes of covers and her one hit as the final number.

Would it have killed her to get the correct region? Anyway the loons are out in force defending Abbott. Here are some of the highlights or lowlights.
