I had a very complicated day.
We'd done a rally in Birmingham in the morning and then we were supposed to go to the Wirral to do a rally on the Wirral and the trains were off and the M6 was closed.
And we got to get from Birmingham to the Wirral.
So we went in a police car, six of us, all crammed up like this.
You couldn't move for hours.
So we eventually arrived in the Wirral, and we had this rally on the beach.
It was amazing, an enormous event.
And then afterwards, there was an invitation I had to go and speak to Wirral Live Music Festival.
And there was a kind of debate in my team about this.
And I sort of said to them, are you sure you got this right?
Because I'm not sure a politician in an election campaign turning up at a music festival is going to get a good reception.
People go to that place for music.
They said, no, it's going to be fine.
I said, look, just go on and introduce Reverend the Makers to sing after you.
and start my speech about working class music, about the history of music of Merseyside and Wirral and how it's an expression of community and solidarity and hope and so on.
