Only those who have experienced the real poverty understand the need for the Welfare State. Harry was one of those people. He will be missed.

I had the huge honour of interviewing the incredible, inspiring @Harryslaststand – now gravely ill in hospital – back in 2014. The cruelty of what he grew up with in a Britain without a welfare state is a reminder of why we fight. https://t.co/MOHWZMm7bc #IStandWithHarry
