In 2020 to question & seek removal of public statues is ok. But a small group deciding they can destroy & deface them is not. Churchill worked with Clement Attlee to stop Hitler's Nazis. Defacing this statue is an insult and does nothing to tackle racism today.

The Letwin Amendment was a result of the Benn Act not expecting a UK/EU WA Deal back today thereby triggering an extension to 31 Jan. This was a panic measure to reinsert the 3 month delay for one reason only to thwart a deal.The public want an orderly Brexit this doesn’t help.

Some reasons @UKLabour won OTD 1997. 1.Leaders who believed that modest, but credible, progressive policies were central to winning centre ground voters. 2.Members & candidates understood the need to win over Tory voters. 3.Labour stayed close to values of working class voters.

Really @Andrew_Adonis ? Contemptible and untrue. A bit rich coming from a man who has benefitted so much from patronage including a Cameron appointment. Look in a mirror and you will see the worse aspects of “Leave” behaviour looking back at you.

The lack of self awareness about what brought us to #Brexit by those who are regarded as so clever and had real power and influence to do something never fails to amaze me. It never seems to occur to them why public may not trust them with their future.

David Miliband on @BBCr4today ‘Brexit gets in the way of the reforms we need.’ But we weren’t event talking about the need for them pre referendum, so it has at least served that purpose.

Shout about this. 800 women a year dead because they are women. U.K. women are twice as likely to die from coronary heart disease as from breast cancer. More likely than men to receive an incorrect diagnosis, substandard treatment and aftercare

Women and heart disease

Women are at risk if they don’t recognise the signs of a heart attack and delay getting help.

My daughter said the hardest part of the T4 announcement is if it had been made a week or 2 ago it would have tough, but not as hard & upsetting as days away from seeing us. She's been on her own for most of 2020. My wish for 2021 I just want to hug my @HannaFlint 😘

This point is well made but would be stronger if there was acknowledgement that Labour’s 2nd Ref promise contributed to our defeat in 54 seats and turned safe Labour seats into marginals. The People’s Vote Campaign made some MPs & members feel better at the expense of others

Indications are that National and EU elections will lead to a more right wing EU. Who knows what that will mean for workers’ rights, health & safety, environment? We don’t want to follow EU down a backwards route through harmonisation if those standards reduced.

Not exclusively Leave seats but all who signed and others share concerns that a Stop Brexit referendum would drive a wedge between our bedrock support and our Party, undermining our historic role as a party of the whole nation. No to any #Brexit risks a No Deal Brexit.

Another blast from the past. Party invite to celebrate buying our first home in 1996. At least New Labour had a sense of humour - well our section did. 😂 (That's not the house - we're at a wedding reception, looking great and it worked for the demon eyes.)

2019 - 40 years as a Labour Party Member. In 1979, as a working class teenager who’d never met an MP, I can’t boast that my family were political and part of Labour and trade union aristocracy. But @UKLabour spoke to my values and hopes for a better country. It still does.
