Is Abbott genuinely unwell, or is Corbyn showing a ruthless side by being prepared to ditch his long-trusted colleagues in a last push for votes?
 
I wish the woman well if she's ill. However as a politician, she is utterly ghastly. Has this action swayed my current intention to spoil my paper, nope.
Considering the emails yesterday and that she was seen walking around London looking very well she is far from ill.
 
So we are bound to a further 5 years of mayhem? Ruling us with an iron rod. Hope People are happy with their choice.

They are too stupid to realise the implications of their choices. They just follow the red top headlines blindly.

If we do get May for 5 more years (which is pretty inevitable) I would like to think post this point when people see how wildly they've been deceived they would dispense with her.
 
Thats what I suspect as well
what, from may who doesn't respect our sovereignty, did no stand against the papers about the judges(which was literally taken out of the Nazi hand book), is campaigning in her name instead of tories, and you think this is a bluff, once we are out of the EU the tories will tear up so many rights and people are just happily accepting it. Its unbelievable what people are willing to throw away.

she is far more harmfull to this country than a couple of small terrorist attacks in the last decade.

Purely my opnion but I would call it as a genuine illness for two reasons. Firstly, he's came across as principled and loyal to his commitments so it wouldn't be in his character to ditch her like this. Secondly, it's too late in the day to give any real political swing. If this had happened 3 weeks ago the message would have time to get out but not the day before enough to create some political swing.

Just my opinion mind.
 
So now we have uncertainty about who will be Home Secretary in the event of a Corbyn victory. Will Diane Abbot be back? Corbyn's statement implies she will be once she's recovered from her "illness" but what is this illness and will it prevent her doing her job? How long will it take for Abbot to be fit for work again? Will it re-occur in future?

But the uncertancy of who will be the chancellor (if the tories win) on friday is fine?

She was pretty active at Oxford Circus station yesterday. She is being hidden from the camera. The emails that caught her out confirm she is being hidden as well. She was not able to add flesh to her "illness" and didn't want to add anything that could be lead her to be found out as not being ill.

Who cares shes gone, she was a moron, she won't be back.. This is just a really convenient way for her to exit and save face.
She has been one of the key factors for not voting for labor, rightly so.
With the threat that she could be home secretary and clearly not being up to the pressure of the job removed, that barrier is also removed.

What with politics being all sound bites and a fashion show, she has been a complete PR disaster, thankfully partly balanced by May's lack of charisma.
Is the vote today or tommrow... I guess im gonna be up all night here watching the fallout...:p
 
So wanting our country to be like another country that's "fine" makes me more terrifying than Diane Abbot? Please explain your remarks.

Fine in so far as any authoritarian state can be, fine in that they don’t cause that many issues on the international stage. I have a friend who lives peacefully out there but they have limited civil liberties which prevent various opposing viewpoints (they can’t peacefully assemble for example). In a similarly scary way to which May would have us go, Singaporeans can be detained indefinably without charge and is often used to quieten political opponents. I’m sure you get the gist.

All that aside Greebo says it in less words.


Because Abbot is just incompetent. You actually want a totalitarian dystopia.

That anyone would want the UK to become like that beggars belief, although I imagine ISIS would be happy with the outcome. I find it somewhat ironic that you claim to despise the way middle east states treat their citizens and yet you are happy for May to start the process of turning us into such a place. I would have thought you would have been totally opposite to that ?

you tend to find the ones who are so opposed actually want their laws wholesale, its absolutely bizarre.
 
The (temporary?) replacement for Abbot voted against triggering article 50. I don't think Jez will deliver on BREXIT which is my main reason for voting for the Conservatives.
