Corbyn too frail to be PM?

Thank you Iam64
I do not tend to make things up

I thought that what I had quoted was sufficient.
I used Google too and there were many sources, however, I thought that I'd better not put on a link to the DM one. Or the Times

!!

I agree Iam ,

My MIL had a little op for eye muscle weakness.
I was trying to suggest an alternative for the fact that his face does seem a bit different recently - eg Bell's Palsy which can affect anyone of any age.

Apologies to Callistemon although I have Googled it and the Optician says
A Labour Party spokesperson said: ‘Jeremy Corbyn has a muscle weakness in his right eye which has become apparent in recent months. He is being treated at Moorfields Eye Hospital and thanks the wonderful staff for their care and expertise. He has been using corrective glasses as part of the treatment. He is otherwise in good health, is on the campaign trail every week travelling the country and runs and cycles regularly.’
It's good to have the whole quote

Callistemon's quote is in several papers and on line discussions. I don't see the problem in referring to JC having treatment for an eye muscle weakness. Evidently it's not uncommon in we older folks.
Yes, there are people who 'just make things up' but it's also an uncomfortable truth that when pretty much every news outlet is making similar comments, there's likely to be some truth in there.
It is certainly true that many LP members and MP's are aware that JC isn't up to the role of leader and is unlikely to win a general election. We need a labour government, not five more years of devastation to our public services.

Like to give the source of the quote Callistemon? strangely enough there are people who just make things up.

Lemongrove. Been sucking on your lemons again? Sour!

I feel sorry for him, he seems to be a puppet ,

Jeremy Corbyn seems to possibly be depressed.
He seems to me to have been invisible most of the campaign.

I have never seen such a supposed party leader who has barely seemed to have shown his face.

He really is not fit for the job.

I had Bell’s Palsy years ago, steroid injections are given,

Rumours do get round, trisher
My friend thought she'd had a mini-stroke, same kind of muscle weakness but it turned out to be Bell's Palsy.

have a good swear if it makes you feel better, Glammy57.

It's not against the rules to discuss this.

trisher in the same article:
A Labour Party spokesman said: “Jeremy has a muscle weakness in his right eye which has become apparent in recent months.
“He is being treated at Moorfields Eye Hospital and thanks the wonderful staff for their care and expertise

Then don’t read it Glammy57.....or, contribute something positive or thought provoking?

Yes, Trisher - this whole thread makes me want to swear. Ffs!

Kapitan not in the shadow cabinet but there are backbenchers who could lead the party to a general election win.

I don't believe anyone in the Labour Party has the ability to run anything let alone the country. It does not take a Civil Servant to tell us that.

Jeremy Corbyn has stated that he will not lead the Labour Party into the next scheduled General Election in 2022 due to his age. Therefore others in high profile Shadow Cabinet positions are now carrying out media interviews to raise their profile prior to a ballot of the membership to elect a new leader, whenever that comes about.

My view (for what it is worth) is that Corbyn will resign the leadership of the Labour party following the Brexit crisis whether Britain should leave or remain in the EU

However, should a General Election be forced on this shambles of a government in the next few months or even weeks, then undoubtedly Corbyn could well find himself as Britains Prime Minister.

In the above, for civil servants to openly speculate on his physical and mental fitness for the office of Prime Minister and then release that information to the right-wing press is nothing short of disgusting.

I believe that disciplinary action should be initiated against those alleged to be responsible, and should those allegations be upheld, then they should be named and dismissed from the Civil Service.

That would act as a deterrent against others acting in similar fashion and ensure in future that Britains taxpayers receive the politically neutral Civil Servants and service we all pay for.

I have read that Jeremy Corbyn has demanded an investigation into the matter and the head of the Civil Service Mark Sedwil is expected to bring forward such an inquiry.

How on earth do you know that Callistemon? Corbyn has always had one eye slightly lower than the other. Try looking at some old photos

I think the rumours were that he had had a mini-stroke, whether that is true or not I do not know.
He has something wrong with the right side of his face as his eye has drooped and is apparently having that investigated.

However, people who have had mini-strokes can go on to make a full recovery.

I agree boat with the mess in the Tory party now he still remains silent and others do tv interviews

trisher...you left out my important word perhaps, as all I was doing was positing a theory as to why this happened.
Of course civil servants should be neutral.

I have no doubts at all about Corbyn’s unsuitability to be PM but I’m still very concerned about the behaviour of the civil servants. If they have serious concerns about him, it just cannot be acceptable to talk to journalists like this. There must be other acceptable and appropriate channels. I think that we should be able to distinguish between not approving of someone politically but be able to criticise how he has been treated.

It's a bit similar to the problems Johnson's backers have.

They kept him off stage for as long as they could and now, when they have to let him out for interviews and the Hustings, he is demonstrating his incompetence and lack of grasp of reality.
