It is becoming clear that more must be done urgently to save lives & deal with the heightening public health crisis we face.

We need action not excuses.

The government lost more votes in parliament with Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the opposition than any time since 1945

We shouldn’t ignore how the state's response to covid-19 is being organised. It appears there is a fusion of the state & economic power structures emerging. But what some are calling the end of neoliberalism may actually be its renewal. @tribunemagazine https://t.co/i4gLstm9Hu

No, Joe. The "establishment" are the 60 billionaires who are funding your campaign and the corporate-funded super PACs that are spending millions on negative ads attacking me.

[Laura Smith @LauraSmithCrewe]

‘communities in the North and elsewhere have suffered the greatest funding cuts. It is shocking that hard-working communities have been abandoned in this way in the post-industrial economy which now prevails.’ @jon_trickett and @IanLaveryMP are spot on! https://t.co/UXqaD6yrS3

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

Today ⁦@IanLaveryMP⁩ and I launch “Northern Discomfort”. There is no road to the renewal of socialism which isn’t rooted in working class communities in the North & elsewhere.

We wonder why - 2 months after losing dozens of Labour’s Leave seats - arch Remainer Sir Keir Starmer would want to change the subject?

The debate over whether we are in or out of the EU is over, but the debate over the kind of country we want to become has only just begun. https://t.co/GtvU7qSDXf

The Road from Wigan's clear - Leave, Fight, Transform.

As Tony Benn remarked, there are two types of people in politics, signposts and weathervanes. In Wigan @LeFTCampaign signposts the way to win a labour movement that fights for working class interests https://t.co/GDLsy9jj2o

It means you’re going to lose.

[Laura Smith @LauraSmithCrewe]

Some people just don’t like to admit that maybe they’ve done well for themselves because they’ve been very lucky-rather than being exceptional. I know loads of amazing people who could do exceptional things if given the chance

[Laura Smith @LauraSmithCrewe]

Hopefully we can start dealing with some of the misconceptions around people who are involved in politics. I’m proud of my background and where I’m from. Experience of real life is essential in my opinion if you want to represent. We definitely need more diversity in politics

[Laura Smith @LauraSmithCrewe]

How about just giving towns the funding they desperately need and have been deprived of for decades. Why does it have to always be a bidding competition for scraps?
