Change is in the air. In Hastings, you can sense the solid rejection of Rishi Sunak’s government, after 14 years of the Tories. People were already fed up with Sunak, and his recent behaviour has only made things worse.
But, the election is not over. I met plenty of people still making their minds up. Plenty of undecideds, greens, and folk ‘not voting’. Plenty of ‘shy Tories’ who may well vote for the Conservatives, despite everything. I don’t believe a word of the super-polls that suggest ludicrous Labour majorities and hugely-reduced numbers of Conservative MPs. Politics has never worked like this. It will be close in seats such as Hastings & Rye, which is why we’re doing what we can to get Labour elected in the battleground seats.
There’s still time to get involved. Check out the nearest Labour campaigning on the Labour website and be part of something special.
