Yeah, I think they realised as much. Which is why they withdrew it. But they did say it.

So imagine what they say about ordinary folk who are wrestling with workplace or battlefield induced stress.

Apparently, they released that statement "in error".

Conservatives did all we could to look after Suella’s mental health

That's very low rent and unnecessary.
Oh, I dunno...

If they keep this up and get a grownup in for Badenoch the Tories will be flirting with electability.
Suella effing off is a good first day for their new project.
Conservative politicians Sir Andy Street and Baroness Ruth Davidson are launching a new movement that will attempt to attract millions of "politically homeless" voters to the Tory party.
their research suggested that seven million people who describe themselves as centrist, or centre-right, felt no party currently represented them.

Aren't they politically homeless because of the Tory party?

Come the next GE, do I simply not vote or do I vote for Hayes to keep Reform out?
I dunno, hopefully my next move still gives me the offer of the lesser evil in Lib Dems which it does here.

A Facebook friend was musing on how attitudes to mental health and related slurs/insults have changed down the years. He cited John Major in 1995 saying that when he heard a particular “bastard” backbencher’s name ( I think it was Richard Body) he mentally thought of “the flapping of white coats”. Nobody was particularly offended by or angry about Major’s quip. If he said it today, he would be excoriated for it.

Furthermore, political hacks and geeks/footsoldiers like me were fond and still are, of referring in everyday banter to certain politicians as “bonkers”. We don’t really mean it, but we know what we mean, if you get me.

There is a subtle difference here: Braverman is a full-diesel psycho with fewer redeeming attributes than a rabid pigeon.

She and Farage will get on like an orphanage on fire.

Bonkers is what I may of described someone in 2014 who predicted Suella (then) Fernandes would become a senior cabinet minister. But that’s Brexit for you.
