    I was a teenager when the Tories came into government in 2010. I didn’t even understand politics back then. But it feels like I’ve just been witnessing this country going downhill for the entirety of my adult life. Every time it seems like we’ve hit rock bottom we go even lower, and the future looks bleak. The UK is very sick if we continue to return this grotesque government to power. It would be nice to have some hope and optimism for once.

      I grew up under labour and managed to vote in 2010. Since that election things have only continued to get worse as you say. It’s been a shit 13 years. I still very clearly remember the optimism and idea of collective action under labour, can’t wait to get them back in.
