Maybe Corbyn has a ruthless side? Per the BBC:

Re: June 8th General Election

Either that or she stepped back of her own accord. Whatever you think of her, and I don't think she was suitable for the front bench, it's been a brutal few days for her.

Re: June 8th General Election

Abbott likes to talk the talk and has never been slow to cause offense but she's the first to complain when she's on the receiving end. Maybe it's a recurrence of that 'illness' she had when she couldn't manage to make that vote a few months back or maybe it's Corbyn looking after his best chum and former lover by not exposing her glaring shortcomings to further scrutiny just before the election.

Anyway meanwhile in Labour's weird world, it's comforting to know that the shadow health secretary doesn't even know the cost of a prescription. That most basic of NHS related questions was put to him by Victoria Derbyshire on the BBC and he didn't have a clue. Quelle surprise...

Re: June 8th General Election

As a very undecided voter it does seem the BBC show a bias towards the Conservative party.

That's unbelievable. Last year, during all those front bench resignations, Shadow cabinet was replaced by unknowns. All the talent went to the back benches. MPs like Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Hillary Benn.

Biasedness MM is often in the eye of the beholder and the agenda that suits them in their own mind.

Re: June 8th General Election

Labour are treating the electorate as fools regarding Abbott. Saying she is sick. That is an out and out lie IMO.

She is being hidden on purpose. Diane Abbott just tweeted "Touched by all messages of support and will be rejoining fray soon."

If Corbyn wins he will have her in the Cabinet.

No chance of that happening, the Cons will run away with it. (imho)

Re: June 8th General Election

If Abbott can't stand the heat in the kitchen she's chosen then she should quit but of course she won't do that. Can anyone seriously imagine how she'd cope with the demands of the REAL job?? The same applies to Corbyn. Can anyone seriously imagine him representing the UK on the world stage??!! If anyone thought Brexit would diminish the UK's world standing just how much would having a dinosaur, terrorist supporting, idiot as PM? That's exactly what Labour voters will be doing at a time of huge, global uncertainty - both financial and political. The mind boggles...

According to my red top she was seen out on the street using her mobile 20 minutes after the interview would have started. Illness my arse.

Labour and the 'truth' have always been odd bedfellows and we all know that all they're doing is planning to add £billions more to those they've already burdened us all with. Spend now pay later should be their party motto.

Yep. There was a photo on twitter of her in a tube station not looking ill at all
