Am I being cynical - Diane Abbott, the shadow home secretary, is to step down for a period from her role due to ill health, Jeremy Corbyn, has said. The shadow policing minister, Lyn Brown, will stand in.
If she is ill fair enough, but has she been moved aside because she is a disaster and a massive liability.

Yes, you are!!

"If she is ill fair enough" . That is good of you.

Just keep praying that you stay in good health for the foreseeable future.

See my comments under the other thread "vote for me".
Very poor show having a go at Diane Abbot without knowing the facts!
Geoff.

If you read what Ilex has said he is bang on, also if you read and listen to the interview with Barry Gardiner (Labour) they are trying to spin it that it is a long term illness.
Q1 Long term illness why was it not spotted before when she did the police interview.
Q2 If the lady is ill why was she not pulled sooner to protect her from embarrassment
Q3 At what point did Labour realise she was ill, because does health & safety and personal welfare not play a part here.
Q4 Would you trust Labour if they treat5 their own this way what would they do to the working masses.

If she is ill then Corbyn effectively "sacking" her now without even consulting her is the most outrageous aspect of the whole affair

Artlin. What is your major malfunction did mother not breast feed you as a baby.

A bit late to tell her to withdraw, she has already done the damage, so she may well be ill
