Andrew Marr and Diane Abbott


Andrew Marr's interview today with Diane Abbott was extraordinary.


As you can see from the video, it's already being described as a 'car crash interview', but aren't all interviews with Diane Abbott 'car crash interviews' these days? 

And to have a 'car crash interview' at the hands of Andrew Marr? That takes some doing, but Diane managed it effortlessly today.

It never seems to get to her though, does it? And I think that's because she comes to each and every interview clad in seemingly-impenetrable armour: the armour of her own supremely-confident stupidity.

All credit to Andrew then for at least trying to penetrate her armour today. 

But, alas, Andrew Marr is no Andrew Neil and he, very evidently, found it extremely frustrating.

Her armour seemed newly coated with an extra layer of ultra-confident doltishness today, so there was no way he was going to dismount her from her high horse of total and utter ignorance. (No offence!)
