Mikey....may I ask what you mean by "recognised and taken into account"?
You say that studying her you think she may be unwell......and question whether her present condition is indicative of declining mental health.....
If that is true then I'd be more worried about the people who are closer to her and letting her....well loose really... because that's how it is coming across.....
I don't know any business that would have her as a front woman....even my hair salon wouldn't have her on reception.....that she holds the position she does I find scary.....Gx

Ms. Abbott needs to learn a few basic lessons about front-line politics.
One of the most important lessons is this one –
You will be interviewed often and at length by senior experienced political journalists. These people do their research, they know the figures, and if you even hint that you don’t know what you should, they will eat you alive.
Another lesson is –
You should anticipate in advance the sort of questioning you are going to get, and have your answers ready. Failure to do so makes it look as if you don’t know what you are doing. As a senior shadow cabinet member, this is an image that is the death of your career as a senior politician.
And the last lesson is –
Politics is a sentiment-free zone. Regardless of your notion that you and Jeremy Corbyn are ‘close’ – win or lose this election, you are toast because you are a liability and he is far too prone to gaffing himself to be able to afford to have someone like you around doing it better than he does.
Goodbye Ms. Abbott – it’s been real … or not!

jackdaw - //A lot of wisdom in your last point, a-h. I'm impressed. I was expecting you to be defending her to the hilt. //
Seriously?
I think the woman is seriously out of her depth in front-line politics, as she demonstrates with increasing regularity.
I suspect she will not remain in her post when Jezza has his post-election re-shuffle.
Front-line politics is the same as fame - it's a barbed-wire treadmill. You need to know exactly how to run on it, or it will tear you to pieces.
I know we often don't see eye to eye, but I appreciate your compliment - thank you.
