Some people reasonably quickly learn how to control their diabetes whether it is type 1 or type 2, there as others end up struggling for years and end up needing help such as a dog to tell them when their blood sugar is fecked so they don't collapse.

Labour will get more votes then they initially would have simply because Corbyn answered the interviewer's questions without saying his punchline every second breath.

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostWhen you are a politician you can be asked anything so you need to be able to make up same bullshoot to appease the interviewer. Blair, Cameron and even Abbot when well can do this. May struggles.
You however do need to have quickly accessible notes on your major policies. This is where Abbott and Corbyn have screwed up recently.
Also if you are front bench - shadow or proper - you get less sleep as you have to react to news as it happens e.g. bombings.

1. 2 members of the Labour party known for their candid views and refusal to lie including the dear leader state she is ill.
2. As someone who was accused of faking physical illness don't go there. There are plenty of conditions until you have them you aren't aware how they can screw your life up.

Originally posted by BoredBloke View PostIf she is so clever then why doesn't she prep up properly before going into interviews and not start making tulip up in the hope that she can bluff her way through. It might work when answering questions for joe public, who she can fob off. It's not going to work in a 1 on 1 interview when the person asking the questions can press her on the subject. Her last effort on Sky was terrible. It was like watching a kid at school who was pretending to have done their homework!
