I didn't watch it, but it absolutely stinks. None of them have a clue what it's like to really struggle. There are also things that they should really be doing, like helping people insulate their homes. Such a low cost policy (relatively speaking), and would massively help those in fuel poverty as well as tackle the climate crisis, but they've always refused, and the ridiculous attempts at green deals are just laughable and still inaccessible to most.

I have no faith in politicians. They all promise the earth then once in power are only interested in themselves.Not long to go before your mum’s big day 🎂I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪6

Totally - I need to know what they're on about, but I can't listen to them spouting their gibberish, so I read articles about them, or put them on mute and read the subtitles. Very aggravating.
Hurray for things starting to happen in a week's time! And yes, make sure you build in some rest periods beforehand, so you don't make yourself ill with doing too much.2023: the year I get to buy a car7
