Wow, either she is 1) uneducated as to why this is a terrible idea (and therefore needs to be educated and forced to change her tactic) or 2) she's an idiot.

I suspect that this is actually something done purposefully so that when things get leaked to the press there's deniability. "Oh, that wasn't me, that was one of the many people with access to my computer. What a shame we'll never know who it was."
She's an MP, A group not widely known for excessive intelligence.

As a former co-worker put it "People who'd be fired as middle managers in a supermarket in short order".

Or knowledge of modern technology Jen from the IT Crown would be in the third quartile.

BTW an employee in the HOC or Lords requires DV vetting (TS clearance an USA terms) it some what rankles the MP's don't have to.

It's CTC vetting rather than DV, significantly less costly to undertake.
Ah maybe the one I talked to had a more senior role - your not thinking of MP's office staff instead of actual HOC staff
3) willfully ignorant...
