Praise from across party divide for bionic MP’ who lost limbs to sepsis

Craig Mackinlay was due to attend Prime Minister's Questions for the first time since he was struck down by the illness last year. Colleagues hailed the South Thanet MP's bravery and determination after he was fitted with prosthetic legs and hands.

Mr Mackinlay revealed yesterday that he began feeling ill one evening in late September, and when his condition worsened he was taken to hospital by ambulance. The MP was put into an induced coma when he went into septic shock. He woke 16 days later to find his feet and hands had turned completely black and were "like plastic".
