I see she's miraculously better, JC probably laid his healing hands on her. He'll be getting the blind to see and the lame to walk next. Labour, cheap tricks are us.


Nah, she's just following precedents in political history. Eden's 'illness' at Suez, Major's 'toothache' when Mrs Thatcher resigned. You wanted Labour to emulate the Conservative way; well, so they have! tongue.gif

Hardly a miracle to sort out blood sugar levels these days.

I have hunch she has confused her numbers again. Usually type 2 have different symptoms than type 1.

I agree - I have Type 2; you can't get a hypo with type 2.

Perhaps she has Type 3 just for minority groups.

Diabetes hasn't stopped Theresa May, perhaps she has a special Tory type? 🤔

She's never used as an excuse to prevent her doing her job, to my knowledge.

Perhaps we need an MP 'person profile', those responsible keep getting wrong 'uns. Here is a starter for 10.

Must

1. agree wholeheartedly with all the party aims, objectives, manifesto pledges.
2. be able to calculate to six decimal places on the spot
3. not have made any even vaguely non populist decisions in the past
4. have absolutely no personal faith or convictions
5. offer resignation whenever implicated unpopular decisions or campaigns
6. become ill or unwell
7. humbly renounce any personal convictions if called to do so
8. not have taken proscribed drugs (subject to reversal shortly)
9. not have deemed unusual sex life

That'll do. Sort of Emmanuel Macron.

Abbot may well be spouting the truth that she lost control of her blood sugar owing the the pressure of the campaign. That said, it's not eactly making her a good choice for a high pressure cabinet post!

The words 'foot' and 'mouth' spring to mind, Oh Dianne, if you don't know what you're talking about its sometimes better to stay off the media.

"Speaking in a video posted on her official social media accounts, the Labour MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington said: "I believe in votes at 16. If you're old enough to fight for your country, you are old enough to vote."

Except of course she's wrong, again. Couldn't make it up.

I am a little concerned JSC that you are spending time trawling through social media to track down snippets of despair as pontificated by the " Honourable "Member for Hackney North.
She is quickly becoming to the Corbin election push what Arthur Scargill was to the Blair effort . Campbell silenced him pretty effectively and I foresee a similar fate being visited on Ms Abbott .
Meanwhile we have to cringe every time she opens her mouth.

It demonstrates one of the snags with our democracy: popularity doesn’t guarantee quality.
