While I acknowledge that "illness" can take many forms, after pulling out of the Woman's Hour panel on the BBC yesterday Abbott was apparently spotted shortly afterwards, seemingly fit and well, on her mobile at a London tube station.
But really, this is all irrelevant. Either she's up to the job or not. If ill-health is the explanation not only of her non-appearance but of the interview cock-ups, she shouldn't be Shadow Home Secretary - simple as that. She has done the Labour Party a lot of harm and the thought that she could be in government on Friday morning is alarming.
