You have days where you could get angry or frustrated at how the system is not working - or at least is working only for the powerful & super rich.
But amongst that is just immense hope at the resilience of people who come together to demand better.
My day so far:
1/5
I've been out with @DimensionsUK.
Brilliant work supporting people in need but now their workers need our support.
76,000 people have signed petition we took to No 10.
Close to 100,000 required for Parliament debate. Please sign!
Liz Truss vs Rishi Sunak for Prime Minister is a very grim state of affairs.
It shouldn't overshadow though Keir Starmer saying Proportional Representation "is not a priority."
The pandemic, partygate & the awful roll back of our rights all stem from a total lack of democracy.
Of course Truss and Sunak's politics are awful.
But by defending first past the post, Keir Starmer is essentially ensuring that we have more Tory Governments for the rest of our lives despite the majority of the country voting left or left of centre.
When will Labour get this?

This morning is National @TheGreenParty Hustings Leadership contest.
Politicians are entitled to have private conversations & in balance particularly those in cabinet have a responsibility to be open & transparent in their views. Liz Truss, Chief Secretary, speaking loudly in a public restaurant at lunch; /Thread 1/13
I respect that people will be concerned about invasion of privacy & I respect that instinct. Ultimately though this is a public conversation of a very senior figure who says one thing on TV & clearly believes differently. We have a right to know & it's pretty damning. 2/13
