yeah it will be years before things get better. But if you look at the last time we were in a similar situation, 1997, they did get better, although it was a slow process over three parliaments. Don’t know if you’ve seen the clip of someone on question time tearing Tony Blair a new one because they wanted more flexibility when booking a GP appointment rather than having to have one with 48 hours. Likewise look at John Burn-Murdoch’s analysis of homelessness. What happened in 2010 I wonder? https://x.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1791412165888352746 Brown and Blair whilst not the most progressive or radical consistently did things that improved the welfare state. Whether that was taking big steps to reduce child poverty, working tax credits, funding the nhs halfway properly etc. All of these things made the country a better place for the vast majority. And have been steadily undone by the tories. And what do the tories have to show for it. Local and central government finances that are in a disastrous state, an economy that has pretty much flatlined for 14 years, a bunch of privatised industries that have pillaged/polluted country, a succession of botched infrastructure projects and a general feeling of distaste and distrust in politics. Starmer again isn’t the most radical or progressive. But to me, the empirical evidence in my lifetime is clear. Things get significantly better for the majority over time with a Labour government and they get significantly worse with a Tory government. -

^^^ Great advice. Mike skinner was stupid busy on Thursday. We were there an act before and it was already rammed, thought better of it and went to the glade instead had a much better time with space to dance. Much better not to get caught in the hype and fomo. -

Lighting up the bike trailer/pram is a must. We had some the first time we took them but not enough and then last year we attached some lights that people could see before they came to the bike trailer -
Not sure that's guaranteed with Starmer given his track record. -
