Packed house for launch of @LauraPidcockMP’s campaign in NW Durham. 
Branded t-shirts, tote bags...energy for the Gen election in this seat for sure but also dry run for a much bigger campaign...?
.@hollyarigby: “this week Jacob Rees Mogg let the mask slip. A man so entitled he uses the House of Commons as his personal living room...JRM this week who told Grenfell survivors they should have had the common sense to leave a burning building. He is an absolute disgrace.”
Well...
The Pidcock view on Brexit. Sticks to Labour Party policy but doesn’t say how she’ll campaign yet.
.@LauraPidcockMP: “I have absolute faith that this is our time. I know we are on the path towards justice. And I know because Jeremy Corbyn might become PM they will throw everything at us. They will say some really hurtful things. Forgive them. For they know not what they do.”
Pidcock is a v good speaker. Speech was almost pastor like. Big sweeping themes, hopeful, the room loved it. So easy to see how she could sweep the party in a leadership election (or deputy). All felt quite Corbyn 2015.
