Well at least you've now got a 'get out of jail free' card if you ever completely **** up.
I'm actually in shock, how can people think this farce of an opposition should be in power?

A lot depends on if Abbot was previously diagnosed with diabetes, if she was her blood sugar control is poor to say the least, if she wasn't, it can come on slowly, and she may not have known she was suffering from it.
If my blood sugar gets low, I can be confused, without really knowing it, before other symptoms kick in.

Considering her lengthy back catalogue of poorly judged comments and car crash interviews she must have had this condition a long long time. Interesting to see if we see a new improved vaguely competent Shadow Home Secretary in the coming months.

end of the campaign, the Labour frontbencher also revealed for the first time that she had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes two years ago, and said that was why she had taken a break.

As opposed to this farce of a government? Not much of a choice, I'd say.

Was it not obvious that she would be back.once the election was over?
Yup. Simply removed from any public utterances during the campaign as she was costing JC votes with her car-crash performances. Tories would've done exactly the same.....except most of their damaging comments came from May......

so the dementia thing was just a lie?
Oh don't blame May for doing a bad job, she's been very ill, so you're not allowed to criticise.
Pardon?
Well the scam seems to have worked. Voters thought she'd just been diagnosed with a serious condition (she hadn't) and voters thought she wouldn't be back (she is):
You've been proper mugged off.
This.

The most curious thing..
Diabetes IS a serious long term condition. That it can be managed (although not always) if the sufferer is careful is not the point.
I really don't get why Ms Abbott comes in for such vituperative personal abuse from Tories. Is it because they are frightened of a strong black woman who isn't scared to offer opinions that don't agree with their white, male, middle class, little Englander view? You might think that she would be a poor Home Secretary or other potential Cabinet member, but that doesn't seem to justify the hatred she engenders.

As I said on another thread, we currently have a dreadful choice.
A Tory party in disarray,cobbling together a deal with the DUP, with a leader who will be gone by the time of their next conference and a hard left Labour Party whose manifesto is a gift to all and everyone, without the thought as to how, who and when it will be paid for.
