John will be attending the funeral of legendary Union leader Jack Jones tomorrow morning – the whole weekend is dedicated to the memory of Jack – and is then heading for Liverpool with Eddie Izzard for the first Go Fourth rally of the weekend. Stay tuned for more details over the long Labour weekend.
