UK politics moment (sorry).

Our probably next Prime Minister wrote a piece in a national newspaper at the weekend praising Margaret Thatcher, still pretty much the bogeyman to people like me who grew up poor in the North (and pretty much anyone who values lives over profits).

And I'm fed up.

Is this really what we get? After austerity, Brexit, the cost of living crisis and the Year of the Three Losers, we have a chance for meaningful change and all we get is someone who's every pronouncement has been focus-grouped to meaninglessness. The world is falling apart around us - why don't we have the option to vote for someone who has a strong passion to do something about it!?

There are solutions available for almost everything that's wrong. It just takes someone with willpower and principle who can stand up to vested interests and not be swayed by lobbyists. Why don't we have that person? I'm legit mad about it!
