'Desperate great-grandad marched 290 miles to be ignored by PM – now Burnham will put it right'

Ninety years ago, 200 men & their MP walked 290 miles from Jarrow to London to highlight the plight of families starving in their town. The Tory PM was “too busy” to meet with them - but next week a historic wrong will be righted.

Next week, Paul Benstead will travel from his home in north-east England to Downing Street, where he will meet the Prime Minister. 90 years ago, Paul’s great-grandad Charles, walked three weeks and 290 miles from Jarrow for the same privilege. But when the exhausted dockworker reached London on October 26 1936, alongside 200 weary men and their inspirational Labour MP Ellen Wilkinson, the Tory Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was “too busy” to meet with them.
Political calls from Reform's Robert Jenrick for "lethal force" ignore the horrific realities driving families across the Channel. Refugees are humans often coming from war & trauma. We need more people like The Pickwell Foundation & Waves Wahines - two amazing coastal community projects who are forging friendships and teaching refugee kids to surf. youtube.com/watch?v=cP5JCtqO…

Dehumanising people who cross the channel has always been at the heart of all Farage's Trojan horses.
And now, a Reform government would use "lethal force" against unarmed 'migrants'.
The antidote to all that hate is this. People who cross the channel are humans.

The Holborn and St Pancras by-election isn't just about Zack Polanski – it's the extraordinary journey of a courageous woman who moved to London with no English writes @realbritainros

Over 200 people who are experiencing the personal cost of the cost-of-living crisis will meet their MPs in Parliament on Tuesday, ahead of Andy Burnham's upcoming first budget as PM

Paul who cares for his adult son Keith – who has autism, epilepsy & is non-verbal – in respite care, will travel to London. "I love being a carer, but being an unpaid carer can be a nightmare. I have had to go without food. When I was a child my parents had the electric cut off during winter, so I’ll do anything that puts the bills & my family first."

How the @DailyMirror events at Labour Conference embodied Andy Burnham's 'quiet patriotism'.
The Mirror's Britain Talks fringe chimed with the PM's call to "get behind each other", with events aimed at bringing the nation back together, one conversation at a time.
