Andy Cooper doesn’t have a job to go to. Does that mean he has a message for himself?

      So… it seems that with a low turnout from tories, between them reform uk, Britain first and ukip took enough votes from the conservatives for labour to steal a win. I desperately hope that we send the tories packing next election but it’s hard to see this as anything other than a protest vote.

        Yeah, that is a close gap that could easily be bridged by a consolidated conservative vote. Quite worrying, to be honest.
