00:00I asked Dianne Abbott, do you Prime Minister really understand how let down WASPI women

00:04feel? He said he did understand.

00:06No he doesn't. That's the problem. He doesn't. One of the things about Keir is he's only

00:12been in the party a relatively short period of time. He was DPP until I think 2014 and

00:18he couldn't have been a member of the party. Then he got parachuted into Keir, no, he got

00:25parachuted into...

00:26Hobart and St Pancras.

00:27Just parachuted in, didn't have to contest for it. Then because it was a safe seat he

00:31didn't have to fight for that. And he has no feel for politics. Now he might say I've

00:36got a great feel for politics because I smashed people like you. But he's got no feel for

00:41politics. He doesn't understand how they feel. Remember he's on his big fat DPP pension.

00:46What does he know about, you know, ageing women who really will depend on the state

00:51pension? He doesn't know.
