There is a redemptive story to be told about America, of ways we have tried to move beyond founding evils, but you don’t get redemption without repentance and acknowledgement of evil done. And as a nation, we have perpetually avoided such a reckoning with the past. /5

Be a faithful.
Don’t brief against your own Party. Maybe do what we do and wait for the evidence and facts and support your team.

Some don’t understand that demonising refugees& asylum seekers is a red line for any healthy nation. As a group of people, like any other, they include the brilliant, good & bad, but labelling them as lesser humans undeserving of compassion, safety & equality is definitely bad for the whole country.

They have an agenda entirely of their own. Not one rooted in public interest or national responsibility. But one that is deeply rightwing and undemocratic.

They didn’t break the Manifesto.
What they continue to break is the gap between the wealthiest and the poorest.
And soon the gap between Landlords and Tenants.
And the gap between Worker and Boss.

Before the Budget I told you the Chancellor was going to do 3 things with it:
💷 Tacking the cost of living
✂️ Cutting NHS waiting lists
📉 Driving down borrowing and debt
How did I know?
Because if you ignore the media and listen to what the government said, they told us.
And she delivered all 3.
