Rabid Remainer, Feminist, bookworm, knitter, lecturer, carer, may swear a bit - sorry but Brexit makes me so angry. NOT leaving #5107
I just did 4 hours non-stop leafleting to try and save my country with Reform UK. I’m knackered. I will be able to look my kids and their kids in the eye and tell them - I tried. I just hope others are doing their bit, in whatever way they can. Don’t leave it to others.
Labour assembled 16 people to knock on doors. If you remove people employed by Labour, candidates & elected office holders from this photo, you're left with just 2 people. Even with @wesstreeting, they can't turn out the grassroots in Hackney. Labour is in its death throes.

“I put him to bed with paracetamol and Nurofen and I went in in the morning and he was dead - it was that quick.” Author and poet Michael Rosen remembers the sudden death of his late son Eddie to Meningitis C in 1999. #Newsnight
Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.
“It is basic Keynes — we need to look at the long-term impact of investment, how it brings money back into the economy and builds purchasing power for ordinary people.” @ZackPolanski answering a question on borrowing and our long-term economic strategy at his speech at the New Economics Foundation.
