Dear Harriet

I am finally home from work, my youngest is shattered and fell asleep in the car.  Life is exhausting sometimes.  It drains you physically, mentally and emotionally.

Its a peaceful evening here. I saw the planetary alignment on my drive home, as the sun set across the downs.  Im now sat at my computer, with the back door open, listening to the stillness, with my coffee and in the distance I can hear the hum of life beyond my village.

Its a world away from how my life was a year ago, when I lived in the middle of a nightmare that felt as though it would never end.

Im grateful for what I have, but it didnt come easy.  It came from my family and I fighting.

And right now I have hope.  I have a hope that we can find a light at the end of this tunnel, out of the darkness of austerity, so I keep fighting.

Because we can only achieve this through fighting.

We need left unity.  We must fight together, alongside each other, shoulder to shoulder.  Politician and common person alike.

To do that though we need Labour to back the #endausteritynow campaign as a whole, not just individual MPs.  Labour MUST be vocal against austerity.

We are days away from a new budget.  Labour MUST be vocal about opposing cuts.  Speak up and speak out as a whole against the incumbent government.

Demand they cease their war on the poor.

Austerity does NOT work.  Its time to break down the myths and speak the truth about the real affects it is having on individuals.

We must unite society and look after one another.  We must stop this selfishness that is driving Britain.  We must start to have more compassion especially for the most vulnerable.

For if we do not, what kind of world are we leaving for our children?
