‘Bionic MP’ who lost hands and feet to sepsis not standing for reelection

1. Won’t be out on the stump then.

   Yes I will see myself out.

2. Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for Craig McKinley…

3. Completely fair. I don’t agree with his politics. But having come through what he has I can’t blame him for standing down.

4. That sounds like an incredibly harrowing ordeal. Politics aside. I guess – Good for him.

   It’s important differently abled people who are subject to various challenges and difficulties play a visible part in government and society.

   ..Especially when the less enlightened or less empathetic members of government attempt to reduce or remove services or provisions designed to help or assist them navigate challenges in life wrought by physical differences.

5. Waiting for the puns.

   My sympathies to the guy though.

6. Actually he’s one of the few tories with a positive public profile. If he was interested in the political ladder, his stock is on the rise…

7. Dude gave up his feet for hands and feet for the NHS. He’s the next captain tom. Can I get some claps.

8. I wonder if he will claim PIP see I g he voted to cut it so many times

9. Well yes, I presume that if he was doing anything he’d be sitting.
