"And so it is that Starmer is more closely linked with a man who stated “I do not want to live by salary alone” than with one who donates 15 per cent of his salary to a homeless charity each month. For a Prime Minister who aspired to lead a “government of service”, that is a tragic place to be."

It’s unacceptable to treat voters like a bureaucratic inconvenience.
Elections are a crucial part of the democratic process. Citizens have the right to expect a regular opportunity to express a view about who should exercise power in their name, at all levels of government.
