Jeremy Corbyn in Filton and Bradley Stoke

With Bowie and Leonard dead, it's a relief there's still someone worth going to see.  And unlike Dylan*, Jeremy does run through the riffs you want to hear. 

Today there was a moving reminder that all of the firemen who went into Grenfell Tower with breathing apparatus and police riot shields over their heads to protect themselves from falling debris in order
to save lives were trade unionists.  Looking after and caring for other people. (Not getting a pay rise either.) 

*The Times, They Are A-Changin'. Play that one, Bob.
