Diane Abbott: Andrew... Andrew, your incredulity is misplaced and anachronistic. I will not be dismissed anymore, for Jeremy and I are poised to form a government.
Neil: Really? Who says?
Abbott: Tony Blair. You see, that he, Mr. Tony Blair, a Blairite, no less, he says that Jeremy could be Prime Minister.
Neil: And you agree that Jeremy Corbyn could be Prime Minister?
Abbott: Of course I do.
Neil: So you agree with Tony Blair?
Abbott: Oh no. Don't be silly, Andrew. I could never agree with Tony Blair on anything. That could never happen, it is impossible.
Neil: So you don't think that Jeremy Corbyn could be Prime Minister?
Abbott: Of course I think that Jeremy could be Prime Minister.
Neil: So you agree with Tony Blair?
Abbott: Not at all!
Neil: So you don't think Jeremy Corbyn can be Prime Minister?
Abbott: Of course he can!
Neil: SoyouagreewithTonyBlair?
Abbott: Of COURSE I don't!
Neil: Come on, Diane. Which is it? You have to choose.
Abbott: Uhhhh... I d— uh... I don't ag— I don't agree that Je— I— I don't agree that Jeremy is not that— Tony— I agree with To— (stumbling over her speech) That does— Andrew, that does not compute, I— (klaxon goes off) I cannot compute! Overheating, overheating! Emergency— Hackney alert! Hackney alert! (explodes)
