A few big picture points to keep in mind as we listen to Rishi Sunak's #SpendingReview - 1. Successive Conservative governments have spent a decade levelling down the UK. Today's spending plans are an admission that they have taken us down the wrong road and caused damage #SR202. Any plans to level up the UK will fail without a proper strategy for poverty eradication, tackling low pay & job insecurity & redistribution of power.

My husband and I decided to go to the march yesterday, we hate Brexit and wanted to demonstrate our discontent with gov ahead of next week. We’d planned to join the left block but as we went with a friend with kids & a buggy we couldn’t get across the crowds to the meeting point
We found ourselves surrounded by a crowd of people who could be described as “very middle-class.” I spoke to one guy who was complaining about Labour/ Corbyn and asked him what he wanted Corbyn to do. He said he should argue to revoke article 50 and “be done with it.”
