Labour's Neil Coyle on troubled upbringing, mental health struggles and shoplifting

[@sophie-963]

I take my hat off to Labour MP Neil Coyle for speaking so openly and bravely considering the platform he's speaking from

[@cazarilolsen4630]

Commendable honesty!

Living as a growing child with a psychopathic murderess mother . Its real, try living with that. Pure evil. As a child no chance of growing up normal. It extreme and hard .

Agreed interview a member of the public not a mp on 80k a year!!!

Don’t see this as a political conversation tbh

Struggles as a child makes strong resilient adults. If you remove all struggles people become weak. labour always pretend that mollycoddling people is a form of compassion when ion reality it is a form or coercive control.

I had a violent father lived in appalling conditions it has not made me strong, mental heath issues all my life I am 68 years old death can not come soon enough. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT LIFE

[@chadwickgoddard3090]

@@thomasthompson1846 You have had a lifetime to move on and get on with life. Whichever mental health professionals you have seen over the years have failed you and your anger should be directed at them not me. I have a had my share of abuse but decided as a 20 something to stop letting it define and affect me, shame nobody was there to tell you the same when you were 25 , but hey the good news is its never too late to change the direction of your life through taking personal responsibility. Good luck and all the best.

[@thomasthompson1846]

Yes you make it sound so easy, try living the life I have had, my first wife died of NF2 I was her carer till she died my daughter died in agony from NF2 I am in constant pain from back injury my second wife is starting dementia I have had enough of life its just one lousy thing after another. I have no one to help me no friends or family.

Interview or therapy session? Wasn't expecting it to be such a difficult watch.

[@wdobni]

i'm not sure what interviews like this accomplish.....schizophrenia and mental illness are non-voluntary diseases like cancer and heart attack and going into mum's personal struggles don't much help.....on the other hand drug use and drug addiction are voluntary conditions that CAN be helped by public discussion of individual details

I once went to the toilet and nothing happened,where can I get counselling and compensation?

Maybe you went to the wrong toilet.

Sad upbringing that has no effect on his ability to be an MP? That's a question.

This isn't news. It's sad he had these things happen, but many of us do. This just seems to be a humanising bit of PR for Labour.

We all have some horrific upbringing and have mental health issues but we aren't running to splash it all over msm, the party your in will only get worse
