Live from Jack Straw’s soapbox

Follow Jack Straw’s Q&A; session from Blackburn

Jack Straw is well known across the country for his soapbox sessions in Blackburn town centre and is the only member of parliament to regularly take questions in this way. The soapbox (and Jack) have been on tour across the country during the campaign and documented by Straw’s special adviser Mark Davies (@MarkDavies67) at the Jack Straw Soapbox blog.

The soapbox returns for a “homecoming gig” to a busy thoroughfare in Blackburn at 11am this morning. Mark Davies, Jack’s campaign team and other Labour activists will be tweeting questions, answers and other tit-bits live to LabourList:
