1/ 8 This may lose me followers but I’m still going to say it and make no apologies for doing so.

Labour lost the election, they lost too many seats – why? Why didn’t Labour MP’s sell their idea of Brexit and inform voters of what the difference would be between what

2/8 their Brexit would be like compared to Tory Brexit? Why didn’t they as the Labour sales people sell the mandate? They didn’t and so more people voted Tory. Oh how we can sit by and be all smug now, point the finger, tell those that voted Tory they got what they deserve.

3/8 What will that achieve? It won’t be just those who voted Tory who will suffer, being smug will not feed a hungry child or put extra beds and staff in our hospitals, it won’t stop the Tories from ripping the heart out of us even more.

4/8 This isn’t the time to point fingers or play smug. This is the time to come back together, forgive those who we feel slighted us with their choice of vote.

5/8 Forget Brexit, in as much as it’s a done deal, we will be left with the fall out and only if we support each other, help each other will we have a chance of bringing those voters back. If we keep attacking them why would they want to ever come back? Please for the sake

6/8 of this country, for the sake of each and every one of us, STOP, just stop and focus on rebuilding the party and the country. Labour MP’s are saying they need to listen, they need to not just listen but heed what they are being told. They need to reach out past members,

7/8 right into the community, get knocking on doors again – not often done unless there is an election. Plan community events and bring those communities back.
I’m sure there are many more ways and you are free to add, maybe, just maybe we can rebuild

8/8 from the bottom up rather than wait for those at the top to tell us what we want again.
