London Civil Service claim Corbyn is too Frail to be a PM

This is a Massive Attack on the Labour Leader.

Wow they have really stuck the boot in.

Yes its the Murdoch press


But Jeremy Corbyn Runs
so he is fit.

Well hopefully he hasn't got health problems, didn't Tereasa May have an illness and she seemed to cope, he doesn't look frail to me.

Yes May is Diabetic
she has the Luxury Connection on her Arm
but others in the public do not

Its good she has that connection and her diabetes controlled more safely.
I look forward to when ALL diabetics have the chance of it for them too.
Diabetes can be debilitating.

Jeremy's health is fine I'd say.
This is likely more fear he is probably going to lead a future government after an election.
Minority, coalition or majority but I cannot see a majority government for any Party at present.

I'd personally rather he stood down but from what I can see, not due to his health.
Frail, good grief, he'd hate being thought that.

He's a lot of things, but frail doesn't seem to be one of them.

He's old af but he doesn't seem particularly frail. And even if he was, being PM doesn't involve many high speed action sequences.

I reckon this is more fabricated nonsense by the press, he seems to be quite fit here.

:laugh::laugh:

I dont think anyone past retirement age should be taking up a senior position in parliament or the lords

I agree. I don't think it's ageist to say that if the retirement age is 67, then there should be no one older than that serving in government, let alone leading it. I don't mean just Corbyn either, I mean all of them.

He rock climbs, he runs every day, he’s definitely a lot less frail and unhealthy than Mr. Johnson.

No matter what the man does, the Tory run media will always find something to whinge about when it comes to Corbyn.

That's a really good point Livia :wavey:

Rock climbing and running wouldn't change the fact that he's 70 and three years over retirement age.

And yeah, Boris has had a really easy time with the press. Oh no, hang on a minute...

Well of course they will,the same as the other parties media does to each other,it depends who you support but someone will always disagree.

But how come Johnson runs and cycles and is still fat?

I didn’t realise ageism was allowed in politics? What’s his age got to do with it? He’s a healthy, fit man no matter his age

Boris has had a hard time for the things he’s actually done though, completely different, if there were articles about him not being fit for office because he’s overweight so therefore more likely to have a heart attack, I’d agree with you, his hard time has come from things he’s said and done through his political career.

How come Corbyn climbs and cycles and isn't muscular? People have different metabolisms and their fat/muscles work in different ways - if I have Corbyn's lifestyle I'd be RIPPED!

He Eats the wrong foods

I actually totally agree.

That's pretty much the whole of the Lords lol

It's not ageist to say that if the retirement age is 67 for the rest of us then it should be the same for the government and the Lords. I'm only referring to Corbyn because he's the subject of the thread, but I think they should all make way, at retirement time, for younger people.

I'm no fan of Boris. He's a buffoon. But he, just like Corbyn, faces a whole world of crap from the tabloids.



If Corbyn should be in the news for something, it should be for the anti-Semitism crisis in the Labour Party.

They could do it in phases... get rid of the 90 year olds first.

Maybe has an underactive thyroid... But I think it's more likely to be an overactive pie arm.

I'm surprised they made such comments given how the civil service usually tries to stay nonpartisan. There are a few other reasons why he shouldn't be PM anyway.. *cough* antisemitism

The Civil Service is Not Meant to say
what they think of any leader

Ha, exactly. There are plenty of valid of reasons to not want him in Number Ten, why go for such a daft one?

He may be fit but slow and pathetic spring to mind , i don't think he is prime minister material ~ but neither is Boris.

Indeed.
You are right again.

the civil service are there to carry out the wishes of whatever government is in charge, so they are not supposed to show any political bias. It's an interesting one, because this is an individual and not a party. Whatever, it's not their place to comment in my opinion.

I highly suspect this to be a bit of planted fake news to allow a Corbyn government to have a clearout. Nothing is ever as it seems

Another Front page on Corbyn.

How under handed, glad these snakes are to be exposed for their shocking ageist accusations. The retirement age is a recommendation not an order, You have paid in your 35yrs Ni to draw down sgould you so wish to. However if you are fit and compitent at 67 what happens on the stroke of midnight on your birthday, Do all your faculties desert you? What an odd concept, if you choose to and are able then retirement is a personal decision.

Great to see you back
Kizzy.

Yes they remain unnamed Civil Service
as if they get named they could be Fired.

However, they should be fired.
This is unacceptable from them.

we don't know what level these people were in the civil service, we also don't know the circumstances where the comments were made. Everyone is entitled to voice their opinion, it's just not something that the civil service should have as a matter of public record. One can behave in an impartial, professional manner while holding a different opinion.

Are you new here, Bots? :-)

I'm a civil servant. No one asked me... but if they had, I'd have said the old Soviet nostalgist Corbyn is unfit to be PM because of his support of terrorist groups and his anti-Semitism, and a large proportion of Labour members would agree with me. And while we're at it, Hunt and Johnson are also unfit to be PM.

it doesn't stop anyone doing their job. If it was the civil service policy that Corbyn is a tit and no-one should do anything he says ... well that's a different kettle of fish :laugh:

Age is not his biggest problem.
