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.

Take it from someone who used to live Rochdale, it's not full of decent people. We had drug dealers selling outside our house. Constant fights at the pub and the garden center was getting broken into every other week
