Most of us want a better life for all, an equitable, accepting supportive society. Some times it’s just for ourselves or our family but also for our community and country. It won’t be enough to want Labour to do it for us. Together we must work and act to make the change that supports a new vision.

Although I have pointed to the Fascism of Farage, it’s best not to insult Reform. They must be taken seriously, their impact measured and reduced, by a better management of our economy and policy that makes all our lives better.

I am tired of luvvies and the media wealthy who present radical left ideology, demand it’s acted on and which they are protected from by cotton wool made of £50 notes.

Now Labour are elected you know there will be many saying they are not left enough, red enough, quick enough, doing things in the right way. That’s just the bedroom Bolshevik background noise, a new challenge begins which is to ensure they focus on results that keep the Tories out #KTTO

Near the forest is a largish village where recently numerous developments have occurred. This has meant a new health centre, a new skatepark, a new recreation ground, a small row of shops thriving and not just surviving, local businesses growing. Doing this nationally would mean the same at scale.

Right now what they are rubbing their hands at is a stimulation of the economy, house building is a classic way to do this, it’s what Labour used in the 60s. Money flows in the economy and more taxes are collected.

So much being said, but a lot to understand about this election. Tory internal angst will disappear from public life for a while and the we will see much more of new Labour MPs and characters.

Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger to ITV: “Putin would’ve been absolutely delighted by our decision (to leave the EU) and so would Xi.” “Particularly since I've left office and I've travelled around Europe, I'm profoundly depressed. Just nobody mentions the UK. We've made ourselves irrelevant.”

In 1943 the Tory Quentin Hogg said ‘If you don’t give the people social reform, they will give you social revolution.’ in 45 the army was near open mutiny, Attlee is never all we think him to be, whoever won in 45 would gave had to do similar, much of the work for it had been done during the war.

I come from a line of strong women bears from the North of England. I recognise Angela Raynor in that light and with respect. My mother ( 5ft 2“)once hit a bunch of skinheads repeatedly with her umbrella when they didn't open the train door for her and tried to barge their way on. #GTTO

But but socialism , please remember Rosa Luxembourg invented the term Social democrat, because she knew it annoyed communists . The steps we need to make are small increments that improve peoples lives, our lives...the first of these steps is knowing if you don't vote to #GTTO then you put them in.

Its up to you who you vote for today, and after 14 years of Tories, and heavy defeat of a redder Labour, the first increment is to remove the Tories, after that its about lobbying and skills of persuasion and thinking sometimes you may be mistaken, to readvance the agenda of social democracy.

The same strategy endlessly repeated does not make left politics in the UK victorious, a new strategy is needed one for the 21st century. One of increments.

But Attlee, never forget Attlee was an officer and a gentleman who Churchill much admired despite mocking him publicly, he ejected a Tory MP from chequers who spoke insultingly of Attlee.

For a hundred years Labour have for some not been red enough. Every time we get a redder Labour more voters vote for the Tories. This does not seem to inform or connect with anyone on the left.

Politics is broken, values and decency are broken, democracy is broken. Fascism only gains traction when people are left behind, ignored or denigrated. Instead of insults and blame we need to ask what part we played, in other peoples desperation, progressive liberal politics can be very arrogant.

Based on current polling, if the Conservatives lost 200k more votes they will have zero seats, according to data scientist Tom Calver. Seems like a big figure. Across Britain not that huge.

Working smarter, not harder, is a concept that has gained popularity in recent years. It’s about finding ways to use your energy and time more efficiently, rather than simply putting in more hours.

Where I work, they want us to be clever about our workload, boasting of long hours and having hard work lists demonstrate you can't prioritise, cant organise and just cant work SMART. Gone are the times of I work 23 hour days, that's for the incompetent.

Many will vote Reform because they feel alienated and their thoughts not represented...that mix of family, community and country with a conservative outlook, that does not understand the modern world, its fluidity and complexity. They yearn for yesterday when all their troubles seemed so far away.
