Can`t get youtube link but here is the title:John Mann wants Jeremy Corbyn action on Diane Abbott over Article50 vote (02Feb17) I found this curious too, because at first I thought he was just referring to Gerald Kaufman. But then when I checked, Gerald Kaufman didn't actually vote - which in itself I think means he's really near the end as MPs have been taken out of hospital and on life support machines to vote when it's so important. In which case it seems there are some new deathly figures haunting the Labour benches and I don't just mean the ghost of Lenin whispering in Corbyn's ear.

Can`t get youtube link but here is the title:John Mann wants Jeremy Corbyn action on Diane Abbott over Article50 vote (02Feb17) He might mean "stress related" ie blaming Corbyn. Though that Abbott attack does sort of throw Kaufman under the bus, especially since his illness "isn't public". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
