A first female chancellor; a housing secretary who has lived in social housing; an education secretary who had free school meals; Timpson as probation minister; a PM who proudly claims his working class heritage — a government of the talents and lived experience.
Rayner. A woman who came from nothing and fought her way up to the role of Deputy PM and Secretary of State.
What an inspiration.
This will be the most working class government in British political history.
No more old Etonians making decisions for us.
This is hope.
It’s been less than a hundred years since women in Britain have had the right to vote. This Manchester banner was unfurled in 1903 - it would be 25 years before the suffragettes’ dream was finally realised. Make sure you use that hard-won right today!
Lady with wavy hair, "I'm sat here and I'm baffled that you (Andrew Mitchell) can talk about serious youth violence as if your party is not directly responsible for services being stripped to their bones"
"Grassroots organisations are on their knees. They're supporting vulnerable young people"
"Until you acknowledge that we need proper intervention into early intervention services, police need a working definition of child criminal exploitation, young people need to be treated as the victims that they are; not further criminalised, further harmed and pushed to the edges of society"
"At best your party has been incompetent. At worst you have been negligent"
"You are directly responsible for the increase in youth violence, loss of life and liberty, that we are seeing in our communities"
@ITVNewsPolitics@Nigel_Farage @lewisUTBdenison He'll be lucky to get himself elected as an MP let alone become PM so his stance on tuition fees is irrelevant..unless he's the majority party he won't get a say. Stop giving the odious man air time, he doesn't want you educated enough to work out that he's a bigot..
Please do not throw milkshakes at @Nigel_Farage ! He thrives on the publicity. Instead vote Labour for a change from divisive, hate-filled, extremism. We need to look away from the dinosaurs of yesteryear and towards hope & change.
