If not my gob is totally smacked

 

[Sasha]

Holy crap! Let's hope that gets confirmed. That would be amazing.

Know anything, @Jo Best?

 

[NelliePledge]

I know @Sasha I assumed it was going to be top scientists. I hope they wouldn't have put this up unless it was a very strong possibility.

 

[Andy]

Wow, that would be incredible if that does happen. Like @NelliePledge says, I wouldn't expect IiME to have put it up unless there was a strong possibility of it happening.

 

[Awol]

Know anything, @Jo Best?

Nope, first I'd heard of it too, by seeing it just now social media.

You might want to edit your title to reflect the big news, @NelliePledge!

 

[Sean]

Huge thanks to those who organised this.

Can't work out how to do this

 

[Esther12]

That would be amazing. We have been getting good coverage in some of the UK alternative news-site popular with Corbyn's supporters.

At the top of your initial post, you should see a button titled Thread Tools. Click on that then you should have the ability to edit the title.

Yep got there in the ed cheers @Andy

 

[NelliePledge]

@Esther12 Simon Duffy weighing in from Centre for Welfare Reform will I think have had some influence

Also not to be underestimated the impact of the parliamentary screening of Unrest where Diane Abbott was in attendance and of course she is in Corbyns inner circle.

 

[Nellie]

SH*t

great spot NP

 

[Skycloud]

Jaw on the floor. Brilliant if it happens, I'm guessing it will unless something happens to stop it, like illness, a general election, world war 3...
Thanks @NelliePledge

 

[Hoopoe]

I think we can thank Unrest film and the parliamentary screening for this.

 

[MeSci]

I've been looking for references to Corbyn having an interest in ME, and found this from 2013: https://www.parliament.uk/edm/2013-14/212 and this one from 2005/2006: http://www.edms.org.uk/2005-06/260.htm

I think there are more but my brain isn't functioning very well!

Well after Vince Cable's tweet following the parliamentary screening of Unrest Corbyn probably thought he couldn't risk those 250,000 votes going to the libdems. Maybe soon they'll all be getting in on the act, and racing to be the first to denounce Wessely, Crawley etc. Sorry, somebody slap me, dreaming again.

That is how the game is played.

As the Wesselys and Crawleys of this world know all too well.

I'd be happier if he didn't support the CMRC....

Bizarre of VC given Norman Lamb actually said on TV (I saw it) that he was liaising with Wesser to create Lib Dem health policy during the last election.
