Every day my timeline is littered with distressed Labour & ex-Labour members.

I too am distressed.

We were/are the backbone of the movement. Yet, for four+ years, all whilst canvassing, networking, stuffing envelopes and more we've been verbally attacked, bullied, purged... 1/ https://twitter.com/siennamarla/status/1265350703180140545
We were promised unity by Starmer, we were promised we'd be listened to. We were promised a continuation of a socialist agenda.

Already all these promises are rotting. But what else to expect from a man part of/central to two coups against Corbyn.

'Fight the Tories', say...2/
... his supporters.

'I do every day', is my reply.

But, the new, new Labour strategy of 'softly softly, bide your time' by the LOTO leaves many feeling ignored with little/no support.

I appreciate the #PMQs performances but 15 mins of succesful pantomine isn't enough. 3/
I acknowledge the poll shifts, but surely it's clear that this is mostly a Johnson slump rather than a Starmer boost?

I see, who can't, the more favourable MSM reviews & I'm angry again at their demonisation of a man who only wanted peace, social justice, equality. 4/
'Why stay?', friends ask and increasingly it get's harder to justify.

Like others I'm hanging in to support Corbyn & socialist MPs. Like others I'm still in mourning for the loss of something that I was SO proud to be a part of and don't want to give up the hope. 5/
Like others I'm wondering if/when I might be pushed.

Whatever, I'll keep fighting. Fighting for a safe, healthy, happy future for all. Fighting too for a party that represents the many and not the few.
