msc 17,762 Posted October 26, 2017 One for Sean's (very long) political frailty longlist rather than jumping right into the starting line ups, but whilst she still looks and sounds amazingly good for her age, Betty Boothroyd apparently admitted earlier in the year to having had some "health setbacks" and has been getting "treated for cardiac ailments". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't find much on Do Muoi and Tun Tin. That Girma Wolde-Giorgis guy looks like a candidate. Wheelchair bound and overweight. No, Mojaddedi is very much alive.

And rumblings about Green's long term job prospects, which is far more interesting, given he is essentially May's bulwark. Michael Fallon is a useless sod who screws everything up. I half expect he went to defend himself and resigned by accident... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
