Diane Abbott's car crash interview with LBC caused waves of both hilarity and agony as people listened to it.
- Diane Abbott's Agonising Interview With LBC Over Police Funding
During the interview, the Shadow Home Secretary struggled to come up with a final cost for Labour's policy to put 10,000 more police officers on the street - at one time, claiming that each one would cost £30 per year.
This is how Twitter responded.
CCHQ: 'Agent Abbott, rein it in. We don't want to arouse suspicions.'

Another day, more dangerous nonsense from Jeremy Corbyn's choice for Home Secretary - which you'll pay for. #chaos #dianeabbott https://t.co/gWSfSf4CM3

People say spending would be out of control under Corbyn, but Diane Abbott is offering to pay police officers less than 2p an hour

Never realised how much i enjoy listening to Diane Abbott do mental arithmetic. "It will cost.... it will cost... It. Will. Cost..."

Spoiler: It isn't good news for Labour.
There's no need for any Conservative party election broadcasts - they can just replay Diane Abbott's LBC interview in every PEB slot.
