#OtD 16 Aug 1819: We remember those who marched at Peterloo to demand a voice in our politics. Their bravery changed history, shifting the balance of power from the ruling elite to the working class. 200 years on we must remember the power of working people to change politics.

200 years ago today, on a field in Manchester, the industrial working class staged its first mass act of political resistance. The outcome was: we changed the world… #Peterloo2019 1/...

#OnThisDay 18 killed. Hundreds injured. Manchester changed forever. 200 years ago 60,000 people gathered in Manchester to peacefully demand the vote. 18 people were killed & hundreds injured. The massacre became known as Peterloo. #Peterloo2019

Peterloo. 200 hundred years ago today. The world looks different. Democracy is fragile and there’s still plenty we need to fight for. #Peterloo2019 theguardian.com/commentisfre…
Peterloo shaped modern Britain, as much as any king or queen did | John Harris

Mike Leigh is right to call the massacre a ‘major, major event’ – it can teach us much about our country today, says Guardian columnist John Harris

I wish there was a 'love' button on twitter! Yes, @PeterlooFilm has been going round and round in our heads since we saw it. An epic masterpiece from Mike Leigh and @ThinManFilms, told through detail, argument and an array of wonderful characters. @peterloomovie #Peterloo @PHMMcr

Can’t get @PeterlooFilm out of my head, each scene beautifully constructed with so many wonderful and quirky characters. V relevant to today. Born and bred in Lancs and never taught this story is History. should be shown in every school in the country. #ThePeople #RiseUp! @PHMMcr
