While I do have a great deal of time for her, I also wonder if it's going to be two strikes, you're out.

Meaning, presumably, that having resigned a front bench position twice already, she will be marked as having a lack of staying power/commitment and therefore won't be offered another go , by whatever future PM?

Well, maybe. PM Streeting would definitely have her back, no question, and I think PM Burnham would too. I think even Starmer would as well, if she and him can resolve the issue that supposedly prompted her to resign.

She said he has 'the resilience of a cockroach in a nuclear war'. That's not too terrible.

Still referring to a bloke who turned around the fortunes of the party to a cockroach isn’t particularly helpful.

And like the Stab Corbyn comment, able to be quoted out of context.

She didn't, she said he was resilient like a cockroach, whose resilience in the face of disaster is legendary. It's a compliment...
