The problem with every grassroots Left Wing party I've got involved with has been so obsessed with "building a base at local level" they will spend decades holding echo chamber meets and promoting small local stuff while the Far Right just walks in and take over on bigger issues.

That said, I know from my work as a Clinical Psychologist that we need to name the problem before we see change.

We all need a healthy diet. So why are politicians normalising food banks and allowing malnutrition and associated illnesses to rise?
