The side streets here were empty of cars, just terraced houses with some boarded up.
Three that we passed had the sound of generators running inside and windows blanked with thick curtains. I assumed they were cannabis farms.
Can’t remember the last time I walked residential streets with no cars.

Politicians and their advisers in their Westminster bubble sit in focus groups in London and wonder why Reform and Brexit happened. They should try renting a house here and then spend six months on benefits living in a post-industrial town with no prospects. Perhaps then they’d understand.

Absolutely.

The referendum wasn't "should the UK leave the EU?"

It was "Do you want change?"

If life is hard, why would anyone not vote for change?
