I wonder what adjective Nye would use about today’s versions, under the stewardship of Theresa May, if he were still with us. Here it is: “With just a matter of weeks between now and 29 March and, despite reaching out directly to the Department of Health and Social Care in December, we still have not seen the concrete detail needed to reassure us – or people with diabetes – that the UK government’s plans are robust enough to guarantee no impact on insulin and medicine supplies in the event of a no-deal Brexit. If so it’s case of “vote for my deal or the diabetics die, and so will the economy, and get set for long queues and price rises at Tesco which your constituents really won’t like”. It pains me to say that includes members of Nye’s party, and the wider Labour movement, the John Manns, Caroline Flints, Len McCluskeys, and, yes, the Jeremy Corbyns of this world.
