#WinWithLabour: Do You Wish?


NB: I’ve been very quiet blog wise recently, but much more active on Twitter. You can follow me on @gletherby 

Now campaigning for #GeneralElection2019 has started I plan to be busier here. Thanks for reading.


Jeremy Corbyn accompanied by his Shadow Cabinet launched the @UKLabour General Election Campaign. You can read the script here:https://labourlist.org/2019/10/the-future-is-ours-to-make-together-corbyns-campaign-launch-speech/


A key message: 



Here I add the narrative from a series of tweets I posted on the 28th (the day before the election was called) and the 29th October which demonstrate, I believe, how we will all #WinWithLabour (which has been trending on Twitter all day).

And a final tweet on the 29th written a little differently. 
Do you want a better today for you and your loved ones?

Do you wish for a better future for the next generations?

Do you hope for help for those less fortunate?

We CAN have it all. JUST #VoteLabour2019 #GeneralElection2019 #GE2019



I got the idea for my ‘Do you wish…’ etc. lists from the end of John McDonnell’s (Shadow Chancellor) speech at #Lab19 (Labour Party Conference 2019).

 We have this ONE chance of a truly transformative Socialist Government.
 We CAN make history.
 Everyone who donates time, money, energy to @UKLabour, everyone who #VotesLabour2019 is part of it.

 It’s time.
 It’s time for real change.

#WinWithLabour
