This morning a Labour MP on BBC radio 4 was asked to present the party idea for an exit strategy from lockdown

Her response was, repeatedly, "we& #39;re here to demand what the govt exit strategy is"

1/

In the context of already feeling angry with the Labour party today, this got me really frustrated

Here is a chance to model leadership. Present your ideas. Why would anyone vote for a party that doesn& #39;t know what it stands FOR

2/

The MP could& #39;ve prepped & said "this is what we need & this is how we& #39;re gonna help make it happen"

The Labour party need to start displaying leadership for people to actually believe they CAN lead

You don& #39;t get votes for just being against something

3/

I& #39;m frustrated too because it was a missed opportunity. Healthcare professionals are being forced into the media because of a failure of our politicians to advocate on our & our patients& #39; behalf

If you& #39;re on the Today Programme: 1) Prep 2) Demand 3) Lead

4/

So many people have voted for you. Don& #39;t waste this opportunity; step up and be a proper advocate and actually make a change at a time we need it most
