An attempt to shame Diane Abbott for drinking on TfL massively backfired – 19 cheers for her

As the bank holiday weekend arrived, Diane Abbott did something absolutely horrendous in public for which she should be eternally ashamed – if some reactions were anything to go by. No, she didn’t unveil a billboard showing a long line of immigrants, with the words “Breaking Point”, she …brace yourselves … quietly drank from a can of M&S Mojito on a Transport for London train, which is illegal.

Unfortunately for her, she was spotted and photographed by a former Metropolitan police chief who sent the photo to the Sun, that well-known moral arbiter.

The MP for Hackney responded with this tweet:

A debate immediately sprang up online, with some taking the opportunity to berate her.

Most, however, took a very different view.
