Can't really explain why, especially given the deep concerns I have, but I'm going to stay in the Labour Party. Maybe it's foolish and a waste of time and energy, but I'm going to stay and vote for every left slate I can 🙏

I have not tweeted since my mother died in March. I could have spent more time with her rather than tramping around housing estates in the rain. I did it for Corbyn and RLB. Never again Starmer. You have decimated the party I loved.

Jeremy Corbyn. No matter how they attacked you, accused you, lied about you, no matter how much hatred they have towards you, I for one will never forget how hard you tried. I'll never forget how you remained dignified despite it all. Soon they'll realise just what they've done.

If only Corbyn and Labour had been given fair hearing and coverage for the last four years the mess we are in right now WOULD be being managed better #COVID_19uk Now whose fault is that we all wonder 🤔🤔🤔 #CorbynWasRight

Appalled that @richardbranson expects flight crew to take 8 weeks unpaid leave. How are they expected to pay rent, mortgages and other household bills. This is capitalism at its best. He should hang his head in shame.
Virgin Atlantic says it plans to ground 75% of its fleet by 26 March adding staff will be asked to take eight weeks unpaid leave during the next three months

When I first heard Johnson advising us to avoid pubs/restaurants while keeping them open, I was angry at the mixed messages. When someone explained this is a deliberate plot to protect insurance companies who are big Tory donors, from pay outs, I was livid! #resignboris – at Worthing, England

Tonight I met the PM and pressed for support for those affected by coronavirus, including rent deferrals, mortgage holidays, higher statutory sick pay and income protection for insecure, low-paid and self-employed workers. It’s essential for both public health and social justice.

In last 24 hours: Denmark: Protects wages & prevents layoffs w/ trade union & employer deal. Spain: Nationalises private hospitals. France: Suspends rent, gas, electricity & water bills. UK: Advises people not to go to pubs, clubs & theatres. The PM needs to get a grip.

I've had a couple of people '@' me today telling me NOT to "politicise" the #Coronavirus pandemic. I'll just say this: it's entirely political. Our friends, family, communities et al are going to be up against it. The PM has confirmed loved ones will die. It's political.

Ireland has closed the pubs 36 hours before St.Patricks Day. If that doesn't impress upon you the seriousness of coronavirus, nothing will.

About once a day, I think about when Corbyn said: "Let's create a society where we all care for each other." Sometimes, and I'm not ashamed to say this, I cry when thinking about what we've lost. Today, it seems extra difficult not to think about what could have been.
