Sexist, misogynist or just complaining as a cover up for her being quite thick?

I think she is just a pretty poor MP, who should be no where near the level she is.

I don't think its sexist or misogynistic but its a pretty pathetic line of questioning.

Cannae beleive this report as they cannae even get Pete Wisharts party right... Thought they would have noticed that there is only 1 Labour MP in Scotland..  and it aint him....Is this what i'm not paying my licence fee for?

She's the shadow Foreign Secretary. If she can't name the Foreign Minister of a UN Security Council member state, a nuclear power and one of the two key member states of the EU, then she clearly isn't (as the saying goes) 'on top of her brief'. Not even close. It is just the sort of thing which you would have as background knowledge if you were capable of doing the job in the first place. If she is ever involved in talks on foreign affairs what is she going to do, Google the subject and post links to YouTube to other folks in the meeting? And her deflection tactics aren't any better informed either, as this is precisely the sort of question that Murnaghan has caught out Boris Johnson with in the past.

To be fair, it's maybe a waste of her time to learn the names of folk she will probably never meet.

Corbyn has been left with a right mediocre shower of shadow ministers.
