Driving in to work a couple of weeks ago I’m listening to 5Live breakfast…

For those who don’t have twitter.. its an exchange between the host Rachel Burden and the Labour minister for social care Liz Kendall. Kendall had come on to state that later in the day she was going to unveil Labours plan for Social Care….
Burden challenges and discovers that there isn’t a plan and its nothing but anti government soundbites. Burden is exasperated, rips Kendall the proverbial extra entry point, and after asking ‘what is the plan’ for the umpteenth time and not getting an answer, cuts Kendall off with something along the lines of… ‘come talk to me when you have an actual plan’
I’m cheering in the car, thinking ‘yes!... finally someone gets it and is asking Labour for a plan’….I check social media later in the day expecting a positive comment from Labour but instead Burden is painted as the villain of the piece.
I got news for the Labour party… the activist gob****es on social media are the ‘MINORITY!’...they are costing you votes…let me give you an example..
Up Ossy they had a Labour guy who, week after week since he was first elected posted stuff evidencing how he was getting his hands dirty to help clear fly tipping, how he chased up potholes, poor signage, overgrown hedges, speeding issues etc, all the stuff a local councillor was supposed to do.. HE LOST!
You don’t have to be Sherlock to figure out why
