[Diane Abbott 'sorry' for drinking
mojito on TfL train
The frontbencher received
supportive messages in reply
to her apology with one person writing:
"I've never felt more represented".
The snap of the shadow home secretary
began doing the rounds on Twitter
after it appeared in The Sun,
which showed her sipping from
a can of M&S mojito on a Transport
for London Overground train - which is banned.
The Labour frontbencher tweeted
an apology for drinking the minty
alcoholic beverage, which is made
with white rum and lime flavours.]

Drinking a can of mojito on a train being front page news is embarrassing.

Oh who cares.

Is she a terrible Shadow Home Sec? Yup.

Does she embarrass Labour whenever she's on tv? Often.

Is she a good local MP? Probably, she's been doing it for decades.


Does it matter if she had a drink on a train? Nope. Not unless she was abusive in her drunken state, which she wasn't.

Sure but not on that Train Line
she is a MP
mean't to set a good example.

[Marsh.]

Hardly like she was drunk and disorderly. But hey if it distracts people from the real news it's serving its purpose.

an MP breaking the law is news, especially a prominent one and a moralising hypocrit like her

great scoop

Yeah I'm sure sipping on a beverage from M&S is the most illegal thing done by a politician this decade.

Meanwhile, in Parliament...

Finally, a relatable politician
