Diane Abbot’s former Leader has claimed the MP is fed her lines through an earpiece so she doesn’t have to memorise facts, figures, policy or common-sense
The bombshell comes after Ms Abbot today claimed that 10,000 new Police officers would each work for £8,000 a year “and some duty free baccy”.
Among the claims we were told she paid hundreds of thousands of pounds of tax-payers money to employ a sound engineer to read her his lines at studios and Parliament.
“She insisted that this sound engineer be kept on a yearly retainer so that she no longer had to memorise pretty much anything other than how to fill in her expenses claims” said our source “obviously when the battery goes she can default to ‘racism; class war; Jeremy Corbyn is the most popular leader ever’ but that can only last for a few minutes”.
Ms Abbot declined to comment “because Derick is on this lunch…racism; class war; Jeremy Corbyn” she told us.
