Was so disappointed to hear Jacqui's lame and disingenuous excuses for the delay and obfuscation into the outcome of Diane Abbotts' 'investigation'.Grow some balls and tell it like it is otherwise Labour isn't bringing us change its bringing us same old same old. The public isn't interested in the internal squabbles of the Labour Party and mutual arse covering . It wants truth, honesty and integrity.
