Ok this is going to get me some grief from some of my brethren on here. Please understand why I'm setting out this thread.

I'd like to talk directly to the Labour soft left. I'll pick out a few MP's and ask you to consider this thread. #MoreThatUnites #GTTO

@LucyMPowell You have recently been on the receiving end of questioning the tactics of the lord ad in the guardian, you commendably made the point that at the time when Boris Johnson is to be ushered in as PM. Our efforts could be better directed.

You have now been on the receiving end of the neo-liberal media machine. Nick Cohen has questioned your morals and has claimed you give anti-Semites a free pass. This shows that it's not just the Corbyn faithful that the machine will attack, it's anyone who disagree's with it.

@SKinnock I saw you on #BBCQT a month or so a go. What struck me was that you seem like a fairly down to earth chap, liked the 90's references, a time I remember fondly but you also spoke eloquently about democracy and the UK political situation.

It saddens me that as a Corbyn supporter I have to stand against you often, when in truth you could be a great ally. There was a lot of banter about that video of the 2017 election result with many saying "Ha ha, look at him loose". I saw something different...

It was a look of "My god, these policies can win". I'm going to make a leap and suggest that there has been an ingrained fabianesque consensus in Labour over the years that. Social change can not be done quickly. I saw in your face a realisation that this may not be the case.

There is an opportunity to unite the left. For us all to come out of the shadow of the past and create a 21st century vision of a sustainable political government. But we can't do it divided. Corbynistas, or whatever we are labelled atm are not hard left stalinists....

We are normal hard working people. The teachers, public sector workers, nurses and doctors and everything in between, we are people who will stand by you if you stand by us. We're fed up with Tory rule and want a better future for our kids.

We know we will get nothing from the centre/ centre right their only aim is to shut down the Corbyn project by any means necessary. They would rather burn the party to the ground and see Borris in power for the foreseeable future.

All I would ask of MPs like Stephen and Lucy is to consider the future if the powers that be get their way. We have a chance to show the world that a new kind of politics is possible. One that balances the future of the planet with a fairer society and a real vision for change.
