"we can't have this. "we need a big drive to improve people's work, "improve people's homes, improve people's communities..." we've become too timid sometimes and too nuanced in terms of putting forward our policy agenda. i think we kind of have to get bolder again in saying how labour is the right party to rebuild post—pandemic britain. is keir starmer the man to do it? well, he's certainly got my support. and i think absolutely, he could be the man to do it, no question. for these current and former labour backers in manchester, the challenge is whether a party that's been divided about its direction can appeal across the board. what is important will be to keep the manifesto we had under the last leader. as a labour party, you're veering

for others there are nerves about the political focus on the midlands and north, even though borisjohnsonn guildford though, that didn't seem an issue. i have been conservative for a long time and i think they've done a wonderfuljob actually. there has been a big north—south divide and i think if we can even that up a bit, it's all for the good. with the economy opening after the hit of the pandemic, the government has promised to help the whole country recover. paul, an events organiser who recentlyjoined the tories, thinks nerves about support in the south are overblown. he is confident about the party's future. i actually support boris as a character and we need someone who is prepared to get on with it, make decisions, not worry too much about upsetting the odd person but stick to their guns. yes, people might vote for other parties in local elections but when it comes to national election time, they will vote for the party that they are with, which i don't think will affect the conservative majority to any great extent. it is too early to say whether there is a meaningful shift in th
