In July 2018 after being a few years on twitter I had less than 800 followers, now mostly due to #Socialist friends I have just under 18,000.

I enjoy the debate.

I love the camaraderie.

I& #39;m grateful for the support & for all I& #39;ve learnt from all of you. 1/4

The last few months have been hard for us. The #GE19 result was devastating, the attacks on Jeremy Corbyn have continued & the election and first few days of Keir Starmer as LOTO more than disappointing....

Lots of members have left/are leaving the party. 2/4

Others, myself included, have argued for staying: to fight from within.

I appreciate the pros and cons of both decisions so no pitch here (I can& #39;t promise not to make my points in other tweets though!).

BUT, whether inside OR out of UK Labour we represent...3/4

...something HUGE: an interested, engaged, active social movement. Hundreds of 1000s of folk fighting for equality, social justice & a safer more sustainable world #4TheMany

No one can deny that & we mustn& #39;t give it up. IN or OUT we really are #StrongerTogether #Solidarity 4/4
