Some of you here might think I joined the Labour Party when . @jeremycorbyn stood for the leadership as I'm such a JC supporter. But I didn't I rejoined when . @Ed_Miliband was leader. I joined after much thought because I thought Ed was taking the party albeit very slowly in

the right direction. I always had the feeling that Ed wanted to go further but was hamstrung by the people around him advising against it. Having been a Socialist since I was a teenager I was ecstatic when Jeremy became leader. Now we have @Keir_Starmer as leader who I didn't
