Future pm based on her bashing Johnson yesterday
Unfortunately no chance, the focus on her background the right wing media would do would make what happened to Corbyn look tame.
Look at AOC in the US who is often referred to as a "former bartender" to somehow doubt her credentials to play in the same political sphere as the trust fund kids.
Her real life struggles and experiences means she would have more in common with the people than the toffs at the moment
You've spelt Ingleby wrongly.This board is full of Labour lovies

How do you know everyone who is saying they have symptoms actually have symptoms? You don't. You can't.I liked a couple of things about her PMQ performance. She raised a laugh or 2 with the way her questions were phrased, giving reportable soundbites that papers may use. Secondly she was well prepared with quotes and figures from government. However, I think she missed one important thing. Johnson kept talking about excessive demands for tests, and how we are testing more people than other European countries. This is true'ish. However she should have called him out on the excessive demand, the demand is exactly what it should be, people with symptoms asking for tests. As I understand it you have to go through a Q & A to book a a test, and you don't get offered a test unless you meet the PHE criteria for a test. So.... No the demand is not excessive the testing is inadequate. Secondly on the comparisons, he compared the UK with countries with lower infection rates, of course there are fewer tests conducted because fewer are needed. She should have concentrated on how many tests were being missed, those people who wanted a test but couldn't get one and compared that, because that is the important figure.
She did well, but she missed a couple of things for me.
