That is a dumb thing for an MP to say. She shouldn't be complaining about
the fact that Old Street has only one entrance in her constituency, when
most stations only have one entrance at all.

Err, her actual point is that there is only one Tube station in her
constituency, and that even that one doesn't serve her constituency
alone - the point about Old Street entrances is a joke, of sorts.

Compared to most inner-London constituencies, this is indeed poor
provision.
