On Newsnight, irritating sixth-former Yvette Cooper (Liars Party) was up against calmly competent grown-up Philip Hammond (Govt. in Waiting Party) and my grandma's fantasy grandpa, old hand Vince Cable (Last Tango Party).
She talked tosh of course, but that's her role in life and she did it bravely, as befits a Balliol girl. The adults wiped the floor with her, naturally, and after a lot of repetitive shouting she fell back on her familiar 'worried frown' ploy, looking angrily frightened about the damage which they - in fact anyone but her beloved and his boss - would wreak in the British economy if given the chance, and how grateful we should all be that we have a Labour government.
Tiresome. Pitiful. But I'll say one thing for her. She's got Balls.
I've seen her in about six or seven interviews over the day and she always ends up shouting over the Conservative saying he's going to cut spending on everything and babies will die. Why she hasn't been trussed up and bundled into the back of plane and dropped in the sea is any one's guess. She is dreadful.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree she was truly dreadful yesterday retreating to her trademark "shouty" mode of argument and "worried frown"
ReplyDeleteFor some strange reason whenever I see her I imagine she smells of carbolic soap, must be the dreadful complexion, pale skin and awful hair.
Happy St George's Day!
