Harriet Harman

It’s a good listen. Im an avid listener to the pod. You likely won’t see this I’d imagine, and perhaps not even care but as you’ve posted and I’m here - Am so desperately sad and distressed at the potential squandered by this Labour government and policy decisions they have taken that are actively harming some of the most vulnerable in society. I campaigned for our local (Labour) MP for years. And have supported our Green Party colleagues also. I am a community campaigner and fundraiser and social justice activist. I’m now no longer a member of the LP. I can’t in good faith support an administration that has done so little good and so much harm and do not appear to want to take any responsibility or be held to account. I’ve met some of the ministers for different reasons with different hats on. Am shocked at their attitude to evidence and sector advocacy in a number of different fields. It’s a disgrace. Lives are being ruined and in some cases lost as a result of the their wilful ignorance and arrogance. It’s not better for many. Wasn’t expecting miracles but was expecting integrity, action based in evidence and community consultancy and was hopeful for good policy. I’m so sad, Harriet. With respect, A mother to SEND children. A worker in public service. A community activist.

I didn't think I cared about formal clothes and dressing as a sign of respect but come off it you have gone to work dressed like an actual clown
