Next year I am going to have to ask my nearly 90 year old mother in law who has been living in the UK for 70 years and who has worked and raised a family here to register and pay over £60 so she can stay; I don't care what your political persuasion is, this is not right #Brexit

A young MP who donates £45,000 of her £80,000 salary to charity, who worked on the front line of care while others just clapped? If that isn't what #Labour should be about I don't know what is? Sacked for following her conscience and the silence of some is deafening :Nadia
