to my left, far left, i have andy from london and john woodcock. ex—mp for barrow. technically ex—mp, to be clear. because there are no members of parliament, very much hoping to continue! anyway, sorry, don't let me interrupt you! this is a community coming together to show that we want to save the post office. and through all of the national staff, who is going to be prime minister, this is what politics is about. i would have been happy if this general election had been called in 2020, as was planned. but now it's here, i'm sure that we are going to make the issue of the post office central to this campaign. i was actually put in parliament to do right by my constituents, and that's what i've decided to do. we can't pretend to be something we're not, people can see through us. but what's important is that there are these labour voices who'll stand up for their communities. applause there are five candidates standing for election in barrow—in—furness. here they all are. well, barrow—in—furness is a key centre for defencejobs, and we're going now
