Thangam Debbonaire
MP for Bristol West
Shadow Secretary of State for Housing and Homelessness
Congratulations to Jeremy on his win. It has been a difficult few months for Labour, but we all want a strong, united party. I’m reassured by the leadership team’s recognition that mistakes have been made, and Jeremy’s strong performance in recent Prime Minister’s Questions shows that he is trying to take the fight to the Tories.
We have a huge, energetic membership, and now need to pull together to become an effective opposition and credible government in waiting. The Tories have no idea about how to manage Brexit, they’re messing around with grammar schools, and the NHS is under more strain than ever. Let’s hold them to account.
