Bionic MP Craig Mackinlay's Inspiring Journey: From Sepsis Recovery to Political Decision

Læs om Craig Mackinlay's utrolige rejse fra sepsis bedring til politisk beslutning om ikke at genopstille.

Efter at Tory MP Craig Mackinlay vendte tilbage til parlamentet efter sygdom, der førte til amputation af hans hænder og fødder, har han nu besluttet ikke at genopstille til næste valg. Hans kolleger gav ham en stående ovation og kaldte ham 'The Bionic MP' ved hans tilbagevenden til Westminster. Mackinlay havde tidligere annonceret, at han ville stille op som den 'bioniske MP' for East Thanet, men har nu truffet den afgørelse, efter 'meget sjælegranskning', om at trække sig fra kampen om sin plads i parlamentet. Trods ønsket om at fortsætte i jobbet og den heroiske tilbagevenden til arbejdet efter amputationerne, har Mackinlay valgt at fokusere på sin rehabilitering frem for en fremtidig valgkamp.
