"Most of the trouble in the world is caused by people wanting to be important."
T.S Eliot
@andyburnham please lend your voice
I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldnโt hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.
Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.
I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.
We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldnโt find a single dry place to put their children. They couldnโt even give them a few hours of sleep.
I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.
What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?
I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.
Hmmmโฆ.I remember The White House releasing a statement saying Irans nuclear facilities were dust and any other news was fake news!! ๐

When they say @TheDemocrats donโt have any potential presidents I suggest they watch Senator @ossoff in action. Here he is destroying one of those spineless, risible, unqualified Trump cronies. A massacre. ๐ฅ

The number one rule of a political adviser is keep quiet in public. To keep off social media and to be the voice behind the scenes. But just for today Iโm breaking that rule.
I first met Keir Starmer more than twelve years ago when he was standing to be the Labour Party candidate in Holborn and St Pancras.
Since then I have had the privilege of being by his side. From Brexit to the pandemic, leadership campaign to election, opposition to government. Changing Labour from a party of protest to a party of change. Having the chance to do what politics is really about: improving peopleโs lives.
Keir is a man of extraordinary strength, determination and decency. Iโm so proud of what we have achieved together. Others will judge his time in politics as they see fit. But for me I see a Britain today that is a better country because of his leadership.
Right, back to staying quiet.
