Diane Abbott has given a scathing interview about Keir Starmer insisting that he doesn't understand how let down the WASPI women feel.
This follows Ms Abbott's question to Keir Starmer in the House of Commons where she asked:
The WASPI women fought one of the most sustained and passionate campaigns for justice that I can remember, year in year out, and we did promise them that we would give them justice. I understand the issue of the cost, but does the Prime Minister really understand how let down they feel today?
-- Diane Abbott, 18th December 2024
Ms Abbott said during her Newsnight TV interview:
One of the things about Keir is he's only been in the party a relatively short period of time. He was DPP until, I think, 2014, and he couldn't have been a member of the party.
Then he got parachuted into Holborn and St Pancras. He didn't have to contest for it.
Then because it was a safe seat, he didn't have to fight for that. And he has no feel for politics.
Now he might say I have got a great feel for politics because I smashed people like you, but he's got no feel for politics.
He doesn't understand how they feel. Remember, he's on his big fat DPP pension. What does he know about, you know, ageing women who really will depend on the state pension? He doesn't know.
