The former shadow home secretary deleted the tweet over migrant deaths after just over an hour. A Conservative MP has accused her of “exploiting a tragedy” for political gain.
I think our expectations of how MPs should behave is seriously low when we’re forgiving the kind of shit Ms Abbott has said. There’s a reason she doesn’t represent Labour anymore.
Ms Abbott currently sits as an independent MP after having had the whip suspended in April following remarks in which she suggested Jewish people do not face racism, but instead suffer prejudice similar to “redheads”.
This isn’t the first time she’s said utterly dumb shit stuff. You’d think at her age and experience as a MP she would think twice before committing this to words. We teach children better than this. Why? Just why has she tweeted this? Yes the Tories are now using this as political fodder for their gains but again, why the fuck did she think this was appropriate?
Just for context, I believe she’s referencing something another MP tweeted.
Still, she’s an absolute moron for thinking that tweeting this was a good idea.

And that other MP is a bigger shit than she is.

Agree 💯
It’s a classic example of “never interrupt your enemy while they’re making a mistake”. If she’d kept schtum, all the attention would still be on Anderson and what a horrible got he is, instead she’s brought it all down on herself.
Big ‘Now isn’t the time to talk about gun control’ vibes about this.
More evidence that MPs shouldn’t be on Twitter.
