Betting Against It

I normally take the Rod Liddle view of Diane Abbott and the lengths to which she has gone in order to keep her own son away from other black boys. But her stand against a ninth betting shop on Hackney High Street, cruelly exploiting the dreams of the poor, suggests, like her Commonwealth-based Euroscepticism, that there may remain in her the founding spirit of an almost forgotten old movement called the Labour Party. So, how much support will she receive from other MPs?
