Very proud to have nominated and voted for @lisanandy not only has everyone else seen through this contest how smart, articulate, full of ideas and relatable Lisa is but also how much fun she is too. 🌹👏
We must work with the Government to get this right but that doesn't mean unconditional support. The message to #stayhomesavelives is being undermined by asking workers in non-essential roles to risk their health by going into work.
So incredibly proud of this woman & the campaign she has run.
Thank YOU @lisanandy for inspiring people across the UK, for going out there to have those tough conversations & for putting the grassroots & communities at the heart of everything you do 💪🌹
Couldnt have put it better ourselves, @Peston 👍

This is not good enough. The Government must publish a list of essential workers – and give a guarantee that those who are not on it have the support they need to stay at home. This uncertainty is causing real distress and putting lives at risk
The Chancellor must make an announcement about this today. This is a really worrying time for millions of self-employed people and they need and deserve the same level of security as others during this crisis
Don't miss out on the chance to vote for Lisa Nandy to be the next Labour leader - if you've not got your ballot yet, make sure you get a new one before 23 March. https://t.co/GTod2fMWpp
Now is the time for radical action.
✅ Wage guarantees
✅ Sick pay covering all necessary living costs
✅ Financial support and protection for renters
✅ Long-term financial commitment to business, providing certainty & protecting jobs

Where is the protection for renters & the low paid? No more delay: statutory sick pay must be massively increased. Cuts to benefits must be reversed, evictions must be banned, we must use systems we already have to get money to people & give them the security they need – fast
The coalfields know the scars sudden unemployment leaves. The Government's response later today must be centred on employment - maintaining as many jobs and businesses as possible - not GDP. It needs to become the national insurer for business and keep people in paid work
