I have a confession to make.
There’s been — from where I’m sitting? — very little to write about.
However?
I’m writing this at the start of January of 2024.
Whilst I’m aware it can be as late as the 28th January of 2025?
I’m also aware it’s more than likely to be this year.
I’m very aware that general elections — and any accompanying local elections — may give us the chance to vote for a suitable candidate.
But?
Radio Four’s
Today programme spent time telling us Labour Party leader, Sir Keir Starmer was, is or has, made a
speech, today.
In part? He’s said;
“Do not listen to the siren voices that say we’re all the same. We’re not, and we never will be.”
I have to say … I think I may disagree.
I’ve always felt that MPs — red, blue, yellow or what have you? — are much of a muchness.
Additionally?
In a speech in Mansfield, today, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak tells us his “working assumption” is that there will be an election in the second half of this year.
That means any time from July, onwards.
That gives political parties time to start writing election manifestos: and sling mud at each other.
This gives the likes of you and me a chance to have a good long think about who — if anyone — we want to vote for.
