Diane Abbott Gets Her Facts Wrong and Berates Leakey

Allegations come from former parliamentary official David Leakey. He had been a Lieutenant General who served in Germany, Northern Ireland and Bosnia. But claims he was bullied (i.e. intimidated and coerced) by John Bercow. Unlikely. https://t.co/a3Z7rcJed1

Will someone please tell Diane that Leakey was referring to the bullying of others, as quite clearly reported in the Guardian!

As per the Guardian:

"He alleged that the former Speaker “brutalised people” with angry mood swings and outbursts. He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “He would fly into a rage, the red mist would descend … jumping up and down and balling out. He called me an antisemite once after being rather rude and insulting about my background, education and military career.

“That’s the sort of intolerable behaviour which I called out. I think that John Bercow suggested this is rather opportunistic, but it’s not. I called him out two years ago and I did so because I was speaking up for people who were either unwilling to speak out for themselves or for one reason or another. I think some people have admitted they had gagging clauses and non-disclosure agreements when they left the Commons.”

The Press Doth Protest Too Much!

But that’s literally the case isn’t it Paul?

There were lobby briefings we are all invited to, and specific briefings that some people are. They don’t replace other scrutiny opportunities.

This is nothing but bitter spin from a media class that isn’t getting its way. https://t.co/TKtWHssqU6
