Jem’s ability to just chat us through 100+ years of class realignments, the necessary conditions for founding the NHS, and the structural possibilities for radical change from the left today is genuinely amazing.

Andy Burnham standing is exciting. Like Sadiq Khan he's travelled from centre to left, has implemented actual progressive policies as Mayor, & has huge popular appeal. Plus it's gratifying to witness the political wind changing today & so much of PLP becoming #SuddenlySocialist ..!
