Diane Abbott quits the shadow cabinet.

Usually but not always, JenniferE
Someone I know has just been diagnosed with T1 in her late 70s after being misdiagnosed with T2 a couple of years ago.

Diane wants Jeremy, John, and Kier to step down, too, thus giving Labour a twelvty-five-forths boost in the next GE

How old you - 12?

Diane Abbott has said she is leaving the shadow cabinet in 10 days time, on April 31st.

The sending her child to private school has followed her forever. What about some of the hideous lies,cheating and debauchary exhibited by others? Of all parties.

Diane Abbott only sent her children to private school because the nearest state school was twelfty-eleventy miles from her home.

As I have said before I don't agree with her politics but in fairness the interview where she got the figures wrong she did appear to be confused which I thought had something to do with her illness.

I will criticise her but only for her political views and actions

Give it a rest.

She is sensible to leave the shadow cabinet when the new leader is announced, she couldn’t have continued on the front
bench, not up to it , so saved the new leader from replacing her.

Not surprised as on a not to recent media photo she was shown wearing odd shoes! then when in parliament she did not look 'too well' ?I don't think will have taken this decision lightly.

I went to work once in odd shoes.
At the time I had a lot on my mind and a lot of worries.
That was when I was much younger and didn't notice until my kindly colleague pointed it out (bless him).

She was not wearing odd shoes that was a picture that had been photoshopped.

She got some figures wrong in an interview, she did not, however, pretend that 30,000 nurses were 50,000 nurses, deliberately.

Diane Abbott's son charged with a string of racial attacks and more.
That is not a joke...

Diane Abbott's son.

He is seriously unwell.

growstuff, thanks for setting out so clearly how grim type two can be. It’s often dismissed, especially alongside blaming the person for bringing it on themselves. I’ve always exercised, never been overweight but a few years ago was told I was pre diabetic. This was according to my gp, the result of several auto immune conditions I’ve had for years.

Diane Abbott used her money to silence any reporting of "the incident".

One rule for them...

...during the General Election.

Now Boris won, bet she regrets wasting that money, now.

ananimous, could please inform me how any action carried out by the adult son of Diane Abbott should reflect on her or her parliamentary career.

Your above post very much demonstrates the abuse that Diane Abbott has received throughout her political working life by way of the media and individual persons going to any lengths in attempts to "dig any dirt" they perceive to find.

Now even when she is very obviously ill and taking a step back in parliament some still wish to continue such activity. However, by attempting the states that states more in regard to the character of the people carrying such actions than it ever has done in regard to the character of Diane Abbott.

Apologies, my above post final paragraph should read " by attempting the above that states" and not "the states that states more". ?
