I voted Labour because I believed that the Conservatives were more bothered with "low tax nationalism", "anti-woke" posturing than they were about building communities and making things work. I believed that Keir Starmer's Labour would focus on boring detail. Faith is wavering, but still there.

Well said. We get silly, out of context, click-bait nonsense. If it feels daft after the whole thing, we know that we've got a silly devil ... and they'll probably win the next election.

I want to go back to 1965. It was colour television that ruined everything. Which party is going to ban it and bring back black and white only. They'd get my vote.
