Steve, the fact that Diane Abbott chooses to send her child to a private school is a question only of relevance to her and her child. That it will enable her child to have a far better education than from the public sector, or that it stinks of hypocrisy is really none of your business. Perhaps if your and your colleagues in the public sector had achieved better results the private sector would not be constantly growing, and the question of where she chose to educate her child would not arise.
    You are very protective of your own party but subject the President of the United States to all sorts of abuse. Are you schizophrenic? or do you insist your role models are sacrosanct while heaping abuse on those you dislike.
    You cannot seriously expect to have it both ways and maintain some semblance of credibility.
