The morning after the 1983 election I went home and cried and then I joined the battle to make our party electable again. I’m up for that again...but I will have a cry first for the people who needed a Labour government and good, brave friends who have lost their jobs. 😪💪

I’m very sad to hear about Alistair Darling. I feel very grateful to have worked alongside him and to have benefitted from his calm wisdom and his warm, humble approach to colleagues. Sending love to Maggie and his family and friends.

#OTD 1997. Labour Landslide. On a swing of 8.8%, Labour win 418 seats giving Blair a majority of 179. In their worst election defeat since 1906 the Tories retain just 165 MPs, with their smallest share of the vote since 1832. Blair becomes the youngest PM of the century.

@pritipatel Those are called Neighbourhood Police Teams - a policy introduced by @UKLabour with one in each neighbourhood delivered whilst I was Home Secretary. After 2010 cuts in police numbers meant they faded away. This announcement just highlights the failure of 11 years of Tory Govt.

So did Suella Braverman breach security and send Home Office documents on her personal email this week in which case she’s back too quickly or was she fibbing about that to do Liz Truss down in which case she’s a disloyal and duplicitous colleague 🤷‍♀️

I feel like crying with relief because this feels like we’re getting back in touch with what people care about and with frustration that we’ve wasted so much time.

Quite often we focus on the theatrics of the House of Commons but it’s also the place where a well researched, forensic argument can be devastating. Well done @EmilyThornberry

Yesterday in the House, I confronted Liz Truss with her own Department’s report on the question she’s repeatedly refused to answer: what’s the difference, in pounds and pence, between her Japan deal and the EU-Japan deal it replaces? She didn’t look happy.

Our country is causing international consternation; our role in the world is diminished; our economy is weakened; our government is divided and distracted and our parliament seems impotent. The most depressing and dangerous political period of my life.

@MarcusRashford @DailyMailUK @MailSport In a very well paid but short career this seems like a sensible option to me. If this is the best smear they can manage you’ll be just fine. Thanks for all your efforts on behalf of those less fortunate.

Jeremy Hunt and his Treasury aides know perfectly well that the crisis in local government isn’t caused by too many diversity officers. It’s gaslighting culture war b*****ks.
