We can only hope the electorate will send many thoughtful, progressive people to Parliament who are not members of the Conservative Party or the Labour Party. It would provide even more hope if all progressive Labour candidates who remain are elected and the most right-wing elements (including Starmer, Reeves, and Streeting) are defeated.
I would also hope that journalists will take note that they, of all people, are amongst the five professions least trusted by the public. That is astonishing.

We desperately need the Tories out, but should not kid ourselves that everything will instantly smell of roses - Labour are also signed up to the neoliberal agenda.

It's interesting that the scapegoated health and medical staff, who are woefully underfunded are not on the distrusted list.
