Diane Abbott is called into the Labour party headquarters about the embarrassment she has caused the party.
"I'll prove to you I can count," she said, "One two three four five, " they let her carry on till she got to forty five.
"OK, Diane, Stop there, what about the alphabet? have you mastered that yet?"
So she starts again, "A, B, C, D, " and they stopped her at P.
"Very good Diane, You know what P is and you know what forty five is. Now go collect yours at the door on your way out. "
