Dear Labour MPs,
When you're talking about the kind of change you want to deliver for people, maybe try using the word "serious", "deep" or "wide-spread".
The word "Radical" has lots of connotations... none of them good!

The replies🙄
Who are you talking to?
If you're talking to fellow socialists, fine. Use words like radical & comrade.
But if you want to appeal to those in the middle ground who want real change but worry when they hear Labour called Extreme in the media...Get your thesaurus out!
To those calling me a hypocrite because I used the word radical when I was trying to convince MPs on the left of Labour that they could support a second referendum without compromising their values...
You're proving my point. Speak the language of the person you're speaking to!
We have got to be smarter at politics. E.g.
"They didn't know what they were voting for"
The fact that it hadn't been negotiated yet and that 100,000s of Brexit voters now don't like the deal makes that factually correct.
But it sounds patronising as hell so it was stupid to say.
