I was making a bit of food earlier with the radio on, and a caller from Hartlepool phoned in to praise the tories for giving them 9 foodbanks, not criticising them for the austerity that made them a necessity. We have a one party state with the media echoing the government exactly in an increasingly authoritarian society with a government removing checks and accountability from themselves by the day.



The areas in which labour did well - such as preston, salford, and wales all had an identity and a vision to offer. Everywhere else they were nondescript tory-lites.


All those problems you mentioned go back way further than ten years ...
