Diane Abbott's 'car crash' interview on LBC with Nick Ferrari

Labour’s Diane Abbott said she ‘misspoke’ when she gave a string of incorrect figures during a radio interview about her new policing policy - video courtesy of LBC

[@schumeister87]

Firstly, 300,000 over 4 years is £7.50 per annum for each officer, then she said 80,000,000 which is just £2,000 per officer per annum. The woman is a disaster. Lol

[@paigeleigh2554]

🤣🤣🤣

[@OulyHussain]

I think what she meant but couldn't read the numbers is 300,000,000 over 4 years it is 80 million a year

[@-morrow]

​@@OulyHussainagain, 80mil per year is only 8k per officer per year. its not nearly enough

[@OulyHussain]

@@-morrow if you listen buddy 10000 officers over 4 years so that's 2500 a officers year. 80 million is around 32k a year. So I think she had the numbers but just didn't read it correctly and media put a bad spin on it

[@-morrow]

@@OulyHussain sure the plan likely was ~80mil for 2.5k additional officers every year, accumulating to ~300mil for 10k after 4 years, but she never said that. she said first 300k then 80mil for a 4y period and 10k officers. then she repeatedly said 250k officers instead of 2.5k per year and even tried to shift blame to him for her fumbling around. its not a "bad media spin", she obviously had no clue what she was instructed to talk about.
