His critics have tried to question Jeremy Corbyn's judgement throughout the election campaign and, although he has had his wobbly moments, he's largely managed to dodge the bullets, but, for me, you have to wonder about the decision to appoint Dianne Abbott to such an important job.
I've just watched her latest interview and, while it wasn't the total car wreck that the one at the start of the campaign was, it was pretty dreadful - no doubt, she has her strengths and there must be reasons why she was thought to be up to the job of Shadow Home Secretary, but, even if you forget about the first disaster, she came up across as very unconvincing in this latest interview and doesn't seem to have any ability to take in even the most rudimentary details that any decent interviewer would expect a Cabinet/Shadow Cabinet member to have at their fingertips.
I'm still expecting a Tory win, probably with a decent overall majority, but if Labour were to form the next Government, they surely need to get Abbott away from any position of authority because she just does not possess that quality.
