The basic idea is for an MP to answer various questions after which listeners text in to say whether they think the MP is being honest. Only 11 per cent of listeners reckoned her answers honest. Lembit on the same feature last week scored circa 70 per cent.
Perhaps more damning and accurate was the following listener comment:
“It’s clear she’s not a liar, just a typical Blairite. A wriggler. Not exactly dishonest but not honest. Not to be trusted.”
The really sad thing for me was the lack of any personal warmth or critical judgement other than blind support for everything the Labour government does. Not so much sycophancy as psycho-phancy. Challenged by a listener's question to say something nice about David Cameron, she simply couldn't. The one policy of Tony Blair's that she didn't agree with was elected mayors 'for towns'. And why might that be, we wonder.
Alternately funny and scary, it's well worth a listen in the brief time it will be on the web.
For those following the link, the interview is about 2hrs 24mins into the programme, with listener feedback at 2.42.

Oh that's awful isn't it.
So no worries about invading Iraq, massive student debt or NHS cuts then.
But the policy she really has concerns about is the one that led to her being eclipsed in Watford.
Bless.
