I find it really worrying this person is now health minister.
I do think that most people know that obesity and smoking are not good for their health, but her libertarian stance on these matters are not the message she should be putting out.
She believes that parents shouldn’t be told not to smoke with children in their cars-I believe the children need protection from these attitudes.
Her own life choices are not my issue, just the messages she is issuing as health secretary.

You have got your wish MandL they’ve gone. ??

I never thought you were criticising her weight/smoking and neither was I when I admired someone with a slim figure. Sadly free speech is on the wane.

Don’t take it personally ? we’ve all been in the line of sight at one time or another. You just happened to be the nearest target. This might help for next time ?

Well I don't think we'll see any more of her by the end of next week!

Her best friend has gone and she should be quick to follow.

I was surprised to find out that she was only 50 - I had assumed that she was nearer 70.

I saw her shuffling down the street yesterday and thought she looked much less mobile than me - and I'm 76! She's not a good advertisement for her smoking, drinking, down with the nanny state lifestyle.

Hoy! Some of us are in our 70s and do NOT shuffle like her, or look like her (and I am chubby but very fit).
