So where do we go from here? A reflection on the response from the Office of Harriet Harman

Harriet's spokesperson seems to have missed the point of my campaign.

It isnt about the leadership contest.  It is about bringing the party back to its roots and while that has to mean having Jeremy Corbyn in the mix, this is not the be all and end all of our fight.

This campaign isnt just about making sure a leader is nominated to speak for us, its about the interim.

Who is there to speak up and speak out for us in this interim period? That is the interim leader.

Therefore this campaign cannot and will not end here.

We cannot sit back and assume that this one battle has won us the fight.  It hasnt.  Cameron set out to achieve a lot of things during his first 100 days in power with a majority government.  Each of those things is something Labour MUST fight against because they are actions that will have adverse effects on Labour supporters and the public as a whole.

We NEED socialism, and our party MUST listen to us, not just in terms of having a leader who supports us and the vulnerable people who are hit hardest by Conservative policies.

So I will continue to speak up.  I will continue my fight.  I will continue this campaign.
