The votes are in, counted, and now we’re able to reveal the winners of the latest TV contest… your new government panel has sat, number crunched… andā€¦

Nominees in the ‘financially vulnerable’ categories are:

  • Young people, step forward
  • Young struggling families, step forward
  • Homeless community, step forward
  • People living with disabilities, step forward
  • Pensioners, step forward…

And the winners are… šŸ„

Sorry… the last lot made it impossible to give us the ability to support you properly… so ta for your vote, we’ll be in touch by 2029 at the latest.

To make you feel less alone, we’ve also concluded:

  • Transport infrastructure cancelled
  • Hospital infrastructure cancelled

In theĀ meantime, please disregard other categories we can afford like:

  • Above inflation pay rises for public sector, when private sector sinks
  • 22% Junior doctor rises
  • GB energy that produces none

Remember the manifesto pledges?

RESTORE HOPE – STOP THE CHAOS – TURN THE PAGE – REBUILD OUR COUNTRY – IT’S TIME FOR CHANGE

Ask yourself… do you see any of the above?

I do hope and trust they’re on itā€¦ yet allow me to be reserved about delivery, jury still out by many I speak with on the street.
