We voted for this Labour government (albeit fewer than under Corbyn) on a promise of change for the many. Instead we've had continued scandals, widening inequality, and assisting genocide. Never again. LET THIS RADICALISE YOU.

I worked in climate change comms (focusing on unions & working class action) back in the noughties, & we knew then what did & didn’t work, in terms of people’s sense of reciprocity, proportion, duty & what just invites a backlash. It’s depressing how bad the establishment is at learning this lesson.
