Tremors

[davidgillon]

I thought I was handling the election result, I'm used to being represented by Tories here in Kent. But then I found out that Bishop Auckland, my home town, which has been Labour since forever, went Tory, and that shook me. And then I found out that Blyth Valley, my parent's home town, that's even more Labour than Bishop, where my great uncle Tol was the Labour mayor, and where I spent every weekend until my teens, went Tory, and that, I have no words.

That isn't the sound of 'the red wall falling', it's generations of miners, including my grandfathers, spinning in their graves.

Love and strength. It's all I've got to send, but you've got it.

Thank you, and likewise.
