Burgundy, but not the zipped jacket this time

That one is an open x-party letter but you’ll have to ask Unlock Democracy for signatures

I wouldn’t make that video now - but we do have to ensure that people know we are taking action. What I have learned is that this sort of content is for response messages now - I don’t kick off immigration conversations on my FB any longer (though we nearly always end up there)

I don’t see that at all. I think what we are doing is standing up for the norm

For obvious reasons some of the messages that do work - anti-Trump and anti-corporate interests - are *much harder* for the government to do than unions

Yes, I read that. Steve is a mate and a former colleague. Hope not Hate found similar.

Thank you. (Though I don’t represent a “mainstream rightwing” party - this is surely about the Tories in our context?)

Thank you. And you’ll understand why I’m not doing more conversation tonight.

Had tipped over from disagreement to abuse (not you!) - life’s too short

Ignoring the issue doesn’t work either, though. I would rather us be in the conversation putting a Labour view rather than us being silent and leaving the field free for Jenrick and Farage and worse

That is what we are doing, though. Hotel use is down cos we are processing applications again. You do have to talk about this though, cos otherwise people don’t know

You are welcome to disagree. But please recognise you are in the minority and if it’s not sorted Labour can’t get re-elected. We tried in 2019 whether Labour being reduced to a tiny rump of MPs in the safest seats delivered for the country or not: I don’t want to try it again.

Link?

Nonsense. An MP I know well opened his local Pride this weekend. A cabinet member was featured on the feed of their local pride the weekend before.

I represent the heart of the UK’s metal working industry. Generations were employed and proud of their work. Now we import welders rather than training them while the average wage in my ends is £120pw off the national average. I don’t want us importing workers. I want us training them.

Wow. I am astonished you have taken that from our conversation. No, it’s worse than that: I believe in what our government is doing.
