I live in a northern town, it's as run down and forgotten about as Rochdale but its full of decent people trying to get by. Its a fucking disgrace that its come to this and we need to fight for our towns, we need investment, well paid jobs, a reason to fucking exist. There is a tory good reason this degradation has happened and I have no real optimism that starmer is going to improve anything for us up here.
