I remember when Jeremy Corbyn came to our CLP the security men told me he was a nightmare because he insisted on stopping every time someone wanted to chat to him. Compare and contrast. Pathetic. Like all bullies, he’s a coward.

A key component of Starmer’s election strategy is clearly to denigrate Jeremy Corbyn at every opportunity. He’s been at it a couple of times in recent days. Keep going Mr. Starmer for every bullying put down says more about you that it ever will about Corbyn. We clearly see you.

With everything going off at the moment, it's easy to become despondent, but this restores my faith in human nature. Nothing but admiration for Pia Klemp. 👍

@JujuliaGrace @EveryDoctorUK Thank you Julia. As a Mum of a GP I know exactly how hard it's been for GPs and their staff. Government now targeting them in their divide & rule strategy. Aided & abetted by msm.

When my parents came here after been freed from the Nazi Labour camps, little did they know that 74 years later the government of this country would be acting exactly the same as Germany in the 1930s. What an insult to all those who fought, suffered and died for our freedoms.

@Philsbodydouble I absolutely agree with you Phil, I'm ashamed to be British at the moment. To the people who say, if you don't like it leave, I say, not a chance in hell. I'll do everything I can to fight to make this place a decent place to live in again.

My MP Richard Burgon has just won a High Court case against the Sun. Their slur tried to link him to Nazi symbols. With the damages he is going to fund a paid justice internship from our area. Good man.

@0Calamity Strange isn’t it how someone who benefitted from the safety net and went on to have such success could go the way she has. For me, having that safety net after I was left penniless and pregnant when my husband walked out, made me want to fight for those not as fortunate.

Hancock insists testing of 100,000 a day has been reached. Liar. Number includes tests send out in the post, not even received and may not even be used. World looks on open mouthed at our incompent and disengenuous government. Meanwhile deaths toll rises by 739.

@Rachael_Swindon Must admit I'm finding it very depressing. I'm finding it an up hill battle changing the mindset of friends who still believe the MSM narrative, defending Conservative's appalling behaviour, but demonise Corbyn and Labour at every opportunity.

@danbloom1 I didn’t stay and I have taken my vote with me. @Keir_Starmer lied to get elected and has reneged on his promises. He thinks he’s invincible because he’s backed by the establishment who know he’ll maintain the status quo. Let’s see.

@neilhdg It's not "Rose coloured glasses" I'm 70 and of course there's been hard times. What I have had is, no food banks, adequately funded health service, education, social security, housing etc. Services not outsourced or privatised to iffy companies. Politician held accountable.

@toryboypierce @YouGov I participate in YouGov polls & I’ve never seen a poll about Harry and Megan. I know the way the questions are framed often influence the outcome plus number of participants. It would be interesting to see both. For the record I and everyone I know really like & admire the couple

Seems I'm hard left. I support Jeremy Corbyn, share his values and aspirations for a fair, equitable society. I'm 70 worked in education and health before retiring. Volunteered most of my life, currently at the local hospital. If that's the case, I accept the label with pride.

Seems I'm hard left. A wife, mother, dog lover, friend, Food Bank Volunteer, Nurse for 45 yrs, definately not a bigot, but hard left because I supported Jeremy Corbyn's vision for a fairer society. Who would have thought🤔Incidently, I have no idea how to behave as a far leftie🙄

@AnneMariaWatki1 @martinjhamer @RachelReevesMP @AngelaRayner @Ed_Miliband Exactly. Rayner looked me in the eye when she came to our CLP & said how she was 100% supportive of Jeremy. Not long after that she was stabbing him in the back. She’ll do the same to Starmer when it suits.

Had my 2nd AZ vaccination at my GPs on Sat. Very effective & efficient system. In spite of being under resourced and under staffed the NHS rose to the challenge admirably. Contrast with money given to Johnson's mates Can you imagine what the NHS could do with a fraction of that.

@RickyDHale Me and whilst we’re at it, stop MPs claiming for 2nd homes, buy a block of flats and make them stay in them when they HAVE to be in London. Stop subsidised meals and drink and stop giving them heating allowances. That’s just for starters. Don’t get me going re 2nd jobs 😡

@BBCNewsnight I don't trust the BBC at all, I did once, when it had integrity. All it is now is a propaganda machine for the Tories. The BBC wouldn't be out of place in North Korea. To add insult to injury I'm funding you. The sooner you're gone the better.

I've had a fair few messages from people saying they won't tweet for Palestine anymore because they're too afraid. Those who are trying to intimidate you are COWARDS. Palestinians need our voices, our love & support. Don't be afraid, be strong, if I can be, so can you.

I believe my 2 daughters @MattHancock , one a doctor, same for everyone I know. Tried from 6.30am to 10.30pm. Eventually doctor daughter got one through work. Test on Tuesday, result still not back today, Saturday. Had to cancel surgical list. Other daughter still no test.

I believe my sister, @MattHancock . This is the problem: these Tories are detached from what’s happening “on the ground”, then make out like we’re all thick & it’s us who’s the problem. People cannot get tests. That’s a fact.
