Sunday 21st July 2019

Sunday is the big day at the Tolpuddle Festival.

This balloon acts as a beacon for the incoming crowds.

The site is much busier than in the last two days.

The big speeches have started - here's Angela Rayner - Shadow Secretary of State for Education. 

This is Mark Serwotka, The President of the Trades Union Congress.

Then we went on the march through the village of Tolpuddle and back to the festival site. We marched with our Union Unison.

This is the village hall.

Here's the village pub - The Martyrs Inn.

Back at the festival site after the march we stopped off for some lunch.

The main speaker was Jeremy Corbyn the Labour Party Leader.

I thought that he gave a very good speech outlining all the excellent things that a Labour Government would do if they got into power. Unfortunately he did not address the central problem which the progressive parties in this country face - unless Labour, Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru, Scottish National Party and The Green Party come to some kind of an electoral alliance at any forthcoming General Election to agree not to stand against each then the likelihood is that Johnson and Farage will do some similar deal and drag us all into the disaster of a no deal Brexit.

After the march and the speeches Andy and Annette invited us round to their van for some eats and drinks.  Many thanks to you both.
