Being able to debate is nothing to do with your position in society.
plus being an MP she has almost infinite time to study debates in action and potentially learn things?
For example have you heard Ricky Tomlinson in full flow about his Health and Safety crusade ....even if he is an utterly socialist nutjob.

I'm not saying that all people from deprived backgrounds are incapable of talking coherently
Debate - building and presenting a point of view on the fly in response to questioning or opposition - slightly different set of skills to just letting rip on something you're passionate about

Deprived backgrounds?
Would you care to elaborate on that?
Because it sounds like you think anyone that didn't school at Oxbridge is somehow deprived.

quick check on wiki reveals she's the daughter of immigrant parents, grew up in East London in the 70s, didnt go to university
Do you think it's fair to assume it wasn't a particularly wealthy family?

Having immigrant parents does not make you deprived.
Neither does not going to university.
So let's get this straight, you're saying that unless you come from good Anglo Saxon stock and schooled at oxbridge you are deprived and cannot form a good argument?

Maybe Ricky Tomlinson just did a lot of mass debating at school?
